I think I'd respectfully disagree here. I've dated trans women who were pretty early into their transition (just came out, short hair, just started HRT) and, while I'd occasionally glance over and have a mental hiccup like "wait am i seeing boy?? am confused" as my brain caught up to itself, as soon as my brain buffered and I remembered who I was with my attraction was very lesbian, because I was seeing these people as women. I don't like men at all, but my personal attraction to each of them was strong, because I knew they WEREN'T men. Even though they'd probably be misgendered in public, since I knew they were women and I saw them as women, I was attracted to them as women.

Posted by someone in that thread. What the actual fuck... If you are attracted to a regular dude who just says he's a woman, then you AREN'T A LESBIAN. Why is this so hard to understand?!
