    Forgive my ignorance, but how does it work?

    Does the “straight” thing go from how you were born or from how you feel?

      “Straight” from what they are right now, so for a trans woman (MTF) that means being a woman attracted to men.

      This is why I’m a firm believer that “homo/heterosexual” is an outdated term. We need words to denote being attracted to masc/feminine people that don’t also unnecessarily make implications about your own gender.

        The most commonly accepted words for those concepts are gynesexual (attraction to women) and androsexual (attraction to men), though they’re used rarely

        Exactly. I just recently realized I’m NB and the terminology for orientation is so confusing… Hetero? Oh so you still identify as male. Homo? Oh, you’re trans. It’s so complicated lol, shouldn’t be that hard to say I’m nonbinary and like girls.
