Wait do you belive this?

The phenomenon of males being attracted sexually to shemales is known
in the scientific literature as "gynandromorphophilia", literally
meaning "love of males in the shape of females".

Because if you do then by that definition everyone here (EVERYONE) are gay guys and thats including myself. A guy who looks like a girl is still a guyand mostlikely no matter how they look still act like a guy and live like a guy.

I am not a guy, I am a girl that looks like a girl with a special something .

Your personality right? :P

Yep thats exactly it! What else could it be?

I dont mind being considered the third sex. But to say that I am a male in the form of a female thats just wrong.

Thanks for sharing that, but... *yawn*

I'll kindly go back to not caring what "science" thinks.

This is very interesting and it make a lot of sense.

Cheers for the post.

Ok, so they formalized academically what we all know here.

The point is?

Actually "we" don't all know that, or there would be no "am I gay" threads.

Sorry, keep on forgetting that! Valid point!

Gynandromorphophiliac: whew, that's a mouthful. Great, so someone put together a few latin roots to get a word describing someone who likes transsexuals.

The way I see it is as such: MTF transsexuals have feminine secondary sexual characteristics. Attraction in a man's mind is based on these characteristics. So, based on this, they are viewed as female forms with an alternative set of genitalia.

I'd be interested to learn at what time someone's attraction to transsexuals or to "shemale" pornography develops. Has anyone been attracted to MTF transsexuals from the start or has it developed over time?

What I propose may happen is the following: Either through porn or real world experiences, the normal vanilla attractive female form may get boring. To spice things up, certain men may look towards different types of women: different body shapes, different ages, different races, and eventually transsexuals... Is it a variety thing? Or, on the contrary, are some people attracted exclusively to transsexuals?

Pursuit of that elusive definitions. Me, I like girls. Whether or not they have a cock or not doesn't matter. I guess if I had to choose, I prefer them with a cock. I like Nicole's transwoman thing. But I'm adaptable. Call me gay. Call me straight. Just hope the hot TSgirls keep calling.

I'm ranking them as follows:

Pre-op TS girls
Genetic girls
Post-op girls

But if I like someone for "who they are" instead of "what they are" then watch out. I'm loyal, passionate and ready and willing.

And in regards to the scholarly mish mash. It's mental masturbation. They pay people to study that stuff?

Doesn't seem like you read the whole thing. Please read it again before you make moronic statements. That clearly is not what the article says. That is you're interpretation.
