I always thought that I was in to soley guys. I mean, given my situation, (that of any transgendered person) You tend to open your eyes more to lots of possibilities. I thought that I was never attracted to women particulary, but could have a realtionship with one if there was a connection. Thats called pansexual, I beleive. But now, I think I may

Hi there. I understand that you are feeling some difficult emotions in this situation. Is there a question that you have for the community that we can help you with? If so, please edit your post to reflect that, and if not, please keep in mind for the future that this type of post is best suited to your personal journal. :)

Actually, that's not what pansexual means. If you're attracted to men and women (aka, 2 genders) then you're bi- (two) sexual. If you're attracted to people who fit outside the gender binaries also then you're pan- (all) sexual. :)

Perhaps you're just bisexual with a preference for men.

Psh. I don't see any indication in the word "bi" that insists that the two genders you be attracted to are "men" and "women," just that you're only attracted to 2. =P

True, but I was referring to the OP's preferences who does indicate that the two genders he's attracted to are men and women. I'm just saying that if he's attracted to two genders then he is bisexual, and not pansexual.

I think for a lot of people, trans or not, sexuality is fluid, and at different points in our lives we're attracted to different genders. Sometimes I think the feeling of having everything sorted out can prompt something bigger than ourselves to pop in and make us think again! Life isn't static, we're always changing and growing. I hear that you are confused. What kind of support do you need?
