I have a genuine question:

Why are some people who are attracted to trans people worried they might be gay. For example there are some very attractive trans women out in the world who look completely female but first the men are attracted to them but once they find out they are transgender they are no longer attracted to them. I’m not saying they have to date such women and sleep with them. But if you are attracted to someone who has female sex characteristics and has a very feminine voice and mannerisms, do you really think you are gay? I mean if you were attracted to someone who with masculine sex traits and had a deep voice and looked like a man then I might say you’re gay leaning. Gay men are not interested in trans women last I checked and there are different types of trans women. Not like Caitlyn Jenner but more like Julie vu, blaire white, etc. so what is this panic about being perceived as gay for straight men attracted to trans women?
