This may seem like a silly question, but since Chastity came out as a Lesbian years ago, but felt or feels that she should have been born a man, will she now be considered heterosexual after the transition to a he?
I don't think that's a silly question at all, txsvicki. I will say my transgendered friends (again - both male to female who before the transition considered themselves attracted to men) now feel heterosexual, BUT they are never far from their identity as "transgendereds" and with the GLBT community. I don't know if that makes sense, but when it comes to sexuality, I simply accept "what" you are as "what" you say you are - and they say they are heterosexuals.
One of the reasons I find transgendered issues and stories so interesting is that it really makes all of us look at the complicated issue of gender and sexuality with fresh eyes. As many have pointed out on this thread, it is a brave path to take and, in my experience, not a decision that is ever entered into without great consideration.
