Being trans doesn't necessarily mean you are homosexual. It is kinda gay to be trans though.

    No but if you like girls and then realise you are also a girl you can go from "I'm a straight guy" to "I'm a gay woman"

    Yeah, in my case though my sexuality flipped, didn't change too much because I'm pan but preferences went 65/35 to 35/65. I also know someone who was gay before, and after, transitioning. And I know many who haven't changed what gender they are attracted to.

    Was mainly trying to point out they aren't connected for any cis people who wander.

    hmm, I suppose, but I do not like that. More often than not people are inclusive in hate but exclusive in praise. I understand ya, but I did specifically say homosexual to disambiguate. It's a fairly common misconception that trans people are just gay people who want to deceive straight people. Being trans, however, is not connected to sexuality, it's identity. I would have identified as a mostly straight d00d before transitioning, with a bit of pan-curiosity, now I'm solidly pan, somewhat more attracted to men.

    TLDR: trans is not gay, but it's kinda gay, and I'm double gay.

    I was mainly trying to be funny but I did take the comment to mean she likes women, so now she knows she's gay because she knows she's a woman.

    I'm gonna be real with you though, I've been having terrible migraines today, that combined with my ADHD and who knows why I say what I do.
