Why do some MtFs retain their sexual orientation while others

I would also like to know this since I am using hrt in part to change my orientation.

Because you're supposed to be straight pre-transition.
Why draw unnecessary attention by being gay?

>>8334695
I can answer you in four letters: PsBi.

How does this happen? What's the mechanism behind it?

>>8334760
It's a natural consequence of an AGP learning to see herself as female. Sometimes it happens before HRT. There's a theory that social transition is a bigger contributor than hormones. It's not known why some AGPs don't experience it.

>>8334695
People who hate being perceived as female can find heterosexual relationships distressing because it places importance on their femininity. That makes butch lesbian relationships a viable solution. Once testosterone fixes the social dysphoria, gay males become viable partners.

It's a meme.
The real answer is hormones.

And yet some who started out liking girls end up liking guys instead. How could this happen if they're both taking the same hormones?

>>8334978
I don't know, but it's not the meme replies.

>>8334972
Then why can it happen pre-HRT?

The defence rests.
