I can understand how for someone who is deeply emotionally invested in the idea that TWAW would find it transphobic to say that their relationship with another male is homosexual. I agree that it’s very muddied water for a man who is dating a transwoman and not attracted to male presenting men even though homosexual is technically accurate. I wouldn’t sit there and insist your husband is gay despite your marriage being a homosexual one either. Idk, a singular same sex attraction? It’s hard to even guess without any experience.

The labels do get confusing (although it’s totally fine not to have a perfect one). I feel like our relationship would have never worked if I hadn’t had bottom surgery either because, obviously, he doesn’t like penises.

singular same sex attraction

That seems like a reasonable description.
