To complicate matters, if the opportunity were presented to me under the right circumstances (the biggest hypothetical condition being that I was not in a monogamous relationship), I would consider messing around with a trans-man who had a functional vagina. I don't consider myself meaningfully bisexual, i.e. probably 5.9 on the Kinsey scale. But it would be an opportunity to see what vaginal sex was like while all the other boxes were ticked. I would very likely not be interested in a LTR with a trans-man because I like le coque too much.

But for me the issue is one of consent and personal choice. It's presumptuous to assume that any gay man must consider trans-men as part of their dating pool or even their hookup pool. If some gay men are interested: cool. It has nothing to do with my interest level or that of any other gay man.
