Yeah sorry if it came that way, not my intention. When referring to “lots of people” I quite literally meant that I know a gay guy that wouldn’t touch a vagina even if he was paid, so saying that if a dude liked a pre op transman is 100% gay doesn’t feel right with me. But not because they are not men, but because as you said sexuality is a complex thing and it’s more about physicalities than gender.

Thanks for the addendum and sorry again for making it look like I was invalidating trans women, not my intention at all.
