Does liking shemales make you gay?

They are something else entirely. Having said that, perhaps we are a third sexuality all our own, neither gay or straight. No matter what we're called, I love transgirls and won't stop :-)

Well transfan85, maybe you spoke "only for yourself", but the path that led you to discover trans-women is surprisingly similar to mine. Five months ago, i wanted to start a thread, "Could a homosexual man get aroused by Tgirls??" (as if i possibly were the only one in this forum), but seeing how this thread got continuously bashed and ridiculed, even by moderators, i quickly dismissed the idea...

Not long ago, i read what wikipedia says about kathoeys (Asian shemales) being considered a third gender in Thailand (and other Buddhist countries) and should you, transfan85, be curious enough to read it too, you'll be amazed how the part of your post that i made in bold makes sense, perhaps even more than you thought while writing it...

Needless to say your post was like a breath of fresh air for me

Can a homosexual man be aroused by a woman? It happens all the time, some are even married and have children... So, as I said, I don't think it's the attraction to tgirls that makes someone gay or not.

I never really get the 3rd gender label, because I'm not sure this is really possible. From a certain point of view, all the characteristics in the 3rd gender are the same of the already existing genders - male and female. I don't think there are any specific 3rd gender characteristics. It makes more sense to me to consider them by their mental gender than to keep coming up with hybrid stuff.

I guess it boils down to, you are who you are, you like what you like. People will call you whatever makes them feel comfortable. I'm a transfan, and I like it that way.

Laws are guides for the wise and rules for fools, and I think this applies also to the laws of nature. Maybe it's a little less about being 'this' or 'that', or 'one' or 'the other' and even 'gay' or 'straight', and more about accepting that everything has a little bit of the unknown about it. Which makes things more interesting anyway.

I reckon a good way to assess who you are and what you do is to look at the effect you have on others. If people are better off for associating with you then what you are doing is good. If your actions are harmful, then they are bad.

I like shemales, I don't know why but I know that I do.

I've asked myself this question so many times over the years. There was a time I would feel deep guilt after watching Shemale porn, but nowadays I just don't give a crap. I LOVE Shemales. I love women as well and have never had sex with a shemale. But If the opportunity comes across, and a TransWoman wants to top me I'll be all for it. Even though I'm sure it would hurt lol. When I'm outside, I usually only think of women. But when I'm alone all I think of are Shemales, I really can't get enough of them no matter how much I try...
