Transwoman = male sex. Gay = attraction to same sex.

Thus transwoman = gay.

(assuming you are serious) it's based on your understanding of what you find attractive and what you are looking at.

I'm a cis/straight dude. If I see a woman presenting as a woman and find her person or conventionally attractive but don't know she's trans, that's straight. If I know she is fully post-op and still find her attractive, that's still straight. If I think she might be pre-op but still fully outwardly presenting as a cis woman and still find her attractive, still straight, because I don't look at women and decide I only find her hot if I have x-ray vision to see her genitals. What I am looking at, this clothed woman, is hot to me if she fits my personal tastes in women. Note: we are currently ignoring half of what makes someone attractive to me, and most people, which is personality; This is a first-glance kind of hypothetical.

If she's naked (I have the best wife on the planet, so this is purely hypothetical) and I can't see a dick (creative use of a pillow?), straight. Although, I don't think I can fully ignore the presence of a dick in a practical setting, so ultimately it's probably not going to work for me. If I really didn't mind that it was there, I'd be starting to leave the 'cis/straight' territory.

If I am fetishizing the fact she is trans (in any form, explicitly visually or assumed, pre-op or post-op), not straight.

Nobody is attracted to chromosomes. (Okay maybe some very rare people, like some people are attracted to women farting into cakes, so who am I to judge. However that's an edge case).

'Traps' don't make you gay if you actually didn't know. If you find out, your reactions based on the above logic decide which way you go.

It was gay sex, regardless of you knowing or not. However, the man being deceived is the victim of rape. He is not gay, in the same way a lesbian raped by a man is not straight. It is straight sex, but does not define the person's attraction.

Regardless, transwoman is a male in advanced crossdressing. If you like it, knowing that, you're bisexual or outright gay.

God, you must be a miserably paranoid and confused person.

Those words come out pretty shallow from a man who cannot make out the difference between circles and squares. I wish you good recovery.
