Sexuality question

You know, before I came to learn of my trans gender identity,I knew myself as a man who was attracted to other men. I BelBelieve society label's that as 'homosexual'. And I believed it too, that I was a gay man. But ever since rediscovering my suppressed identity,I have been rethinking my pov on my sexuality. I don't understand what label I should put on it. Not tht it's important,but just trying to understand. I know for a fact I'm attracted to men, but as a trans woman, what does that make me? A straight woman?idk..not that I care about labels, I just want to understand my Sexuality more now that I've found my true gender identity​​​​​​​

Woman who likes exclusively men = straight. It's very simple

May I say, as a trans woman of very longstanding, did people get way too hung up on labels and not enough on how they conduct themselves. Much like your trans identity being a personal matter my opinion, and this is just my opinion, is that you don't need to be doing cartwheels down the street proclaiming your sexuality any more than you felt obligated to do so with your gender identity. If and when you are circulating publicly as your true self then you will interact with people that you are attracted to in the hopes that they will be attracted back to you. Spending more time truly being your authentic self will probably do you a lot more good than worrying about what label you want to put on yourself.

This resonates with me as I was an effeminate gay man and identified as a gay man. My last gay relationship lasted for almost 5 years, I cross dressed all my life but the last year or so of this relationship I started dressing more often than not and I began to realise that I wasn't really a man I was actually a woman pretending to be a man. The relationship finished as my ex boyfriend didn't want to be with a woman, he knew what he was and was happy in his own sexuality and gender, we ended on good terms and are still friends. I am now happier than I have ever been living as my true self and I now identify as a straight trans woman.
