An unexpected thing has happened to me. I've become boy obsessed. I think I said back in January that I was 70-30 bisexual favoring women. Well I'd say it's now more like 50-50, but I spend more time thinking about men.

I know this sounds outlandish but it turns out to be pretty common for trans people's sexuality to shift when they transition. There are Kinsey-6 "lesbians" who become gay men post trans, and every other possible permutation.

If I were to speculate about why I'd say that sexual orientation probably shouldn't be understood only in terms of who it's "toward" but also where it's "from." I.e. your orientation isn't just disembodied contextless attraction but also involves your own conception of self.

Transitioning really alters your conception of your self and your body, and sexual orientation can be dramatically affected by those changes. There's also no doubt a hormone effect. But I'm just making this up, I don't really know. Anyway hiii boys.

In other words, sexual attraction is dialectical. It emerges from the interplay between your conception of your self and your conception of the other, and how your conceive the other conceiving of your self. Damn. Flashbacks to Science of Logic ...

This! It only makes sense that ones own sexuality is not only about others, but yourself. Been saying this for years.

Thanks for saying this. I have a weird feeling of my attraction being gendered, like I generally am attracted to women and feminine presenting nb people the way I feel men are attracted to women. But I feel attracted to men not how I conceptualize gay men to feel 1/2

But instead how I think women might commonly be attracted to men. I don't have gender dysphoria really so I don't say I'm trans but it is just a weird feeling when I want to have something to say other than "mostly cis"

It seems weird that a person can "become" gay by transitioning, despite not changing who they find attractive at all.

Ooh, yea, I really wonder about
@ContraPoints's take on that, as a philosopher and Wittgenstein expert and all that.
