Reply To: Sexual census. Q:

[Jennifer Thompson]

I answered I am a TG woman who is attracted to men because after my surgery I married a man. Growing up I was not attracted to boys, With all the therapy I had, my therapists never thought I was gay, but trans. My relationship with a boy began soon after I transitioned full time to a girl while I was still in high school. We began as just friends although he was attracted to me. I never had trouble passing since I had not gone through male puberty changes. I didn’t really fall in love with him until after I realized he was in love with me so decided I better tell him about me. I expected that would probably be the end of our dating and probably even our friendships. Instead the opposite happened. The day after I told him, he came to talk to me and said after thinking about all I had told him, that he still loved me and in fact, loved me more as he thought about hard it must have been for me to open up with him. I was the one he felt comfortable with and could trust and talk openly with. Part of my plan was to have the surgery after I finished high school. COVID then hit that delayed my surgery for a year. And our relationship deepened and we became engaged. As soon as I recovered from the surgery we married. So my answer had to be attracted to men as my now husband is the only person I ever even dated and am now happily married.
