Ah, yes, it's the UK TERFs that caused this and not our innate sexual orientation. Always the TERFs.

Apparently 33% of people claiming to be gay/lesbian are lying about being gay/lesbian. Which isn't surprising considering how lesbian is supposed to encompass basically everyone on the planet at this point.

The 1 group that trans people refuse to pursue, bisexuals, is the only group that the majority is open to dating trans people. They're just shooting themselves in the foot by refusing bisexuals. But apparently that sweet, sweet validation is more important to them than having a partner that actually wants to be with them.

If you check other more detailed surveys: the heterosexual men are somewhat okay with transmen, lesbians are fairly okay with transmen. Gay men less okay with transwomen, really not okay with trans men.

Hetero women were low grade okay with transwomen but not at all interested in transmen. Heterosexual men were also mostly disinterested in transwomen.

So basically as long as your genitals matched that person's sexual orientation you were a lot more in luck, with lesbians being more open to transmen than any other group was to any other trans.
