There is also some confusion in the wild about gender, sex and sexual orientation. There is a difference and it’s important.And here’s another thread...
Sex = Biological.
I was born male. Science does not allow me to fully get rid of all of my male sex attributes, even with surgery. I will always have been born male.
Some day science may allow a true sexual transition, but today we can only do a gender transition.

Gender = Societal.
Clothes, roles, speech and even general looks. This is gender. This can be changed. Some may opt to transition without any surgeries, and only societal. Some, like me, want a full physical surgery. Some don’t want either gender role and are non-binary.

Sexual Orientation = Attraction.
It may be assumed that after I transition to female that I’ll be attracted to men. This is _not_ a safe assumption.
Sexual orientation is fluid and independent of a persons sex or gender. Men can love men and women can love women. Or both.

Here’s the REALLY interesting bit that I didn’t expect... As Benjamin I was only attracted to women. I never, ever looked at men.
As Jami that appears to be shifting. Maybe.
For now I’m so focused on me and transition, I’m just not dealing with that yet. So I legit don’t know.

I never thought that would have been the case back when I first started transition. I figured I would just still be attracted to women. So it was a bit of a shock to me when that area of my mind / sexuality started to open up.
Let me be clear. Legit don’t know. Just interesting.
