I would argue that sexual attraction to a non-op trans woman involves attraction to male genitalia, which by definition and logic extend beyond the label “straight”. A different case would be a man attracted to masculine presenting women (tomboys), or post-op trans women, which would not rule out bisexuality, but be within the defining bounds of straightness.

Because the visual overlap between non-op trans women and femboys is quite noteworthy, an umbrella term for attraction to both male and female identities such as “bisexual” is appropriate. Denying that is arguably Bi-erasure! I hope you understand my point.

Well said, you sound like you are at peace with who you are. I hope and wish for you to be able to express yourself the way you want.

Real life is ruined by the blunt and ignorant people that spew hatred and division everywhere. Best to avoid them by having good friendships and using the internet as a substitute

True. If anyone in my social surroundings found out I like femboys and Tomboys they would be weirded out and shun me from their socials, I guess. The internalized shame is so strong, but why?
