It was a study posted a few years back on a trans Reddit but I don’t have the link. It’s older data though. The newest one I could find when I looked today was messier still had about a quarter straight (as in trans women attracted to men) , a quarter bi, a quarter self identified queer, and slightly less than a quarter gay (as in trans women attracted to women)

(This has the data breakdown but not the study itself) https://www.thetaskforce.org/wonky-wednesday-trans-people-sexual-orientation/

Fascinating, thank you! Interesting that only a quarter are exclusively androphilic.

I personally think the more interesting take away is the percentage attracted to both between bi pan and likely a section or the self identified queer as well. A huge percentage compared to general population

The sexologists who've studied and worked extensively with males who identify as trans say that those who say they are bi - or to use the more recent nomenclature, pan and "queer" - are mostly fibbing. They say these persons are pseudobisexuals.

They really should be using terms like bisexual, heterosexual, etc. With clear statements that they're talking about sex not gender... Otherwise that research is pretty bunk without a better explanation of what they mean in terms of sexuality.

That breakdown have little of no meaning, as it is stated "same-gender loving", this means that gay man who transitioned to woman will become "straight, and straight man who transitioned to woman will be stated there as a lesbian, and they will "change orientation" (what USSR and nazi Germany were doing to gay people before, and Iran is doing now, to "change orientation" like that). There is a big rise of "trans lesbians" and "trans gays" in last few years, most of whom are not even trying to "pass" as the gender they are trying to be.

It would be much better if they used just "attracted to males or females" instead. So if gay man was attracted to males only and transitioned, then still be attracted to males only - so will still stay homosexual, and it will be clear who is who.
