For Those thinking of having sex with a Transwoman

Sexual orientation is about who you are generally attracted to, not whether a partner is cis or trans, or what specific acts you did together. From what you describe, your experiences most clearly show that you are attracted to women (including a trans woman), which fits comfortably within being straight, though some men also choose labels like bi, heteroflexible, or just “no label” for similar experiences.​
How orientation is defined

  • Sexual orientation is usually defined by the gender(s) you’re attracted to over time, not by one encounter or specific acts like anal sex or oral sex.
What your experience suggests

  • Everything you describe involves you with a woman, who happens to be trans, and you enjoyed that; that is consistent with attraction to women rather than to men.
A trans woman is a woman; many cis men who date or have sex with trans women identify as straight or heterosexual and do not see themselves as gay.
Enjoying being penetrated, giving or receiving blowjobs, or swallowing semen does not, by itself, make someone gay; those are just sexual behaviors, and many straight-identified men enjoy similar acts with partners they see as women.

certainly an interesting observation--and I can see your thinking.

But just curious as to why you posted this--since I see no post prior to this that caused it.. Maybe I missed it. I am sure that you will get all kinds of responses--as far as I am concerned, what one chooses is their decision as long as it does not infringe on mine or anyones else life style.

Trans women are men with a mental illness.
