Being trans doesn't necessarily mean you are homosexual. It is kinda gay to be trans though.
No but if you like girls and then realise you are also a girl you can go from "I'm a straight guy" to "I'm a gay woman"
Yeah, in my case though my sexuality flipped, didn't change too much because I'm pan but preferences went 65/35 to 35/65. I also know someone who was gay before, and after, transitioning. And I know many who haven't changed what gender they are attracted to.
Was mainly trying to point out they aren't connected for any cis people who wander.
I'm not sure what you are trying to imply..
hmm, I suppose, but I do not like that. More often than not people are inclusive in hate but exclusive in praise. I understand ya, but I did specifically say homosexual to disambiguate. It's a fairly common misconception that trans people are just gay people who want to deceive straight people. Being trans, however, is not connected to sexuality, it's identity. I would have identified as a mostly straight d00d before transitioning, with a bit of pan-curiosity, now I'm solidly pan, somewhat more attracted to men.
TLDR: trans is not gay, but it's kinda gay, and I'm double gay.
I was mainly trying to be funny but I did take the comment to mean she likes women, so now she knows she's gay because she knows she's a woman.
I'm gonna be real with you though, I've been having terrible migraines today, that combined with my ADHD and who knows why I say what I do.
