This may sound stupid, but I have a technical question.
If a male (knowingly, obviously) fools around with a pre-operative transwoman, does that qualify as a heterosexual experience, a homosexual one, or is there a third category?

3. I would guess that any trans person is the gender they identify with
regardless of their biological "equipment." Isn't that pretty much a given? :shrug:

4. In terms of identity, certainly, but that doesn't necessarily reflect on the sexual experience.
Identity aside, one would still be sleeping with someone who had the same anatomical equipment, and would be interacting in pretty much the same way as if one was sleeping with a gay man. So the idea piqued my interest.

5. It's a thought provoking question
But what about this: what's the difference if a female or male "administers fellatio"? If a female does it, it's hetero. If a male does it, it's not, right?

But there's no difference in anatomical equipment (mouth) right?

I think the gender identity of the person makes all the difference in the world.

But then, I haven't spent much time thinking about this until now, lol.

9. No, it isn't. It's a "How many angels can fit on the head of a pin?" question.
The question and its answer shed not one ray of light on anything.

6. If the male is getting off on his partner's female attributes, I'd call it heterosexual.
If, however, he's giving her male organ a lot of attention, I'd call it gay or bi. All good, in my book.

7. I tend to categorize sex as good, bad, indifferent, hot, raunchy, nasty, and all sorts
of others words. "Gay or straight" seldom is one of them.
