I would point to the term Pansexual or possibly Bisexual.   Pansexual applies more to Trans people and includes other Trans people you are attracted to.  Bisexual is a little more between Cis people who are binary and depending on the person they have no attraction to Trans people.  A very confusing world.

I am no expert but maybe Demisexual/ pansexual? Something along those lines, but don't quote me, wait for more experienced people to comment, rather then me haha

Like fluid sexual orientation? I suppose this could be a thing. I believe there’s a spectrum and I’m not on any one place on it myself. If you think of it as a spectrum line...male attraction on one side and female on the other.  In my own sexual orientation, I would take almost the entire line as what gender I’m attracted to but others may have a smaller block on that line, others yet may have a single point on that line...it’s a strange idea. Maybe your point or block on that line moves. Another thing that may be happening is more of a pan-sexual orientation where your attraction is not dictated on gender or sexuality. In this case, you may be attracted to a single individual or others like that individual.  Have you ever been attracted to someone and then lost that attraction for no apparent reason the next time you’re around them? One thing with me that I can never fully understand is my attraction to females is different than my attraction for males. I am attracted to both but for completely different reasons. Are your attractions to, let’s say males, more romantic attraction or sexual in nature? These are some questions I constantly think about with my own sexual orientation.

 

Good luck on your research,

Susan R?

That is my personal identity and it means that sometime, way in the future of relationship there may be some chance of having sex, but the idea is to completely get to know a person, gay, straight, or trans, of any sexual attraction intimately as far as life sharing, and your deepest secrets and feeling like there will be no betrayal or harm by them to you.  You become soul mates mentally and emotionally long before any physical intimacy is even thought of.

ohhhh that makes sense. That's actually really cool! Thank you for sharing :))

Sound to me more bisexual, less pansexual. Because you go between men and women. But here's a question, how would you feel if they had and were both, would they still interest you? Then you'd fit more in the pansexual category, which is where I find myself.

yeah im good with people who are fluid or non binary. i was just thinking of binary people since they are on the spectrum!

You've got a big heart that follows the tides. Just be careful out there ? and don't forget to be loving, try not to eat or taste things at random unless permission is granted and everything is clean and clear.?

I think we are often stuck in a box of what we perceive society expects from us.  I had a hard time until just recently disconnecting my gender identity from my sexual identity and desires. 
As I moved more toward MtF transition I used wonder why I don't really feel an emotional (or much of a physical) attraction to men.  But, I assume that can also change, just as my gender identity has morphed to where it is today .. so everything is always "Fluid" in that sense.
 

Now I know these are different aspects of my life and personality, and I don't care about the "Why".  That's just way I am built.

It sounds like you could use either bisexual or pansexual. Though, i think pansexual would apply to attraction to non-binary genders more than bisexual.

My understanding of the nuance between bi and pan is that bisexuals are attracted to more than one gender (minimum of 2, thus bi), and pansexual have potential of attraction to anyone, regardless of gender. 

 

I'd say im pan. But since my attraction is more strong towards fems, and it varies from time to time, I feel there is a bias, however fluctuating it may be, about gender. So bi feels morw appropriate. I like the sound of it and the flag better too, but that's irrelevant. I'm sort of demi too. Guess I'm just waiting for the right one.

 

And yeah like I said, my attraction is fluid. I believe attraction is a spectrum and fluid attraction is totally valid.

      Your brother is the person who has decided that "sin" is involved because he has lost control of a part of his life by you taking on your authentic self.  It is not because you have committed any Sin per se, but because he is no longer controlling your life, evangelicism or other wise.  He is using formula words and ideas hoping to re-gain that control over you.  Your Roman Catholicism vs. his choices of religion would be enough to do it in many many cases.  Your being Trans is just one more area of his losing his control.   If your brother were also Roman Catholic, I suspect he would be the same way about you on just the Trans issue itself no matter what your priests would tell him -- he has lost control of your life and is afraid he has lost control of his life.    Family members of any religion who fear loss of control will often cite scriptures they believe support their Position.  If Bible verses are needed, Matthew. 10:34-8 which speaks of division in families over religion would be a casual point directed at your brother's control issues.

      This might help. These are the grace and lace letters dealing with Christianity and transgenderism from someone who struggled with the "conflict".   https://www.digitaltransgenderarchive.net/catalog?f[collection_name_ssim][]=Grace+and+Lace+Letter&sort=dta_sortable_date_dtsi+asc%2C+title_primary_ssort+asc

      I am an evangelical  I am also transgender.  This is an issue. I have read up on it.  I am not an expert, but I have done a lot of reading.   One thing I do not get about people who take that position is that evangelicals are all about salvation by faith alone by Christ alone by grace alone - unless you are transgender.  Then you cannot be saved, these say, unless you do the work of un-transgendering yourself.  Which is, practically, impossible.  I have read the "solutions" and I don't buy them, obviously, because they do not work.    In evangelicalism salvation is by faith alone, Christ alone, grace alone, without any merit of our own.  That means, to an evangelical, we come to Christ as we are,  in the words of a glorious hymn,   1 Just as I am, without one plea, but that thy blood was shed for me, and that thou bidd'st me come to thee, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   2 Just as I am, and waiting not to rid my soul of one dark blot, to thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   3 Just as I am, though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt, fightings and fears within, without, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   4 Just as I am, thou wilt receive, wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; because thy promise I believe, O Lamb of God, I come, I come.   We do not clean ourselves up BEFORE we come to Christ.  We let Him clean us up AFTER we come to Him.    Those who insist that transgender people cannot be saved are actually preaching another Gospel, a Gospel of works, and have wandered away from the glorious Gospel into works.  That is strong but true.   Struggling with legalism and grace, I have found more of God's mercy and grace available to me because I struggle with being transgender and seeking His resolution of it.  Which, not having the struggle, I would not have needed to seek Him earnestly on this.

      Eventually, (especially if you start T,) things will even out. The excitement you feel is from everything being so new. Finally knowing yourself and having others recognise you can be thrilling. However, because it is your natural state of being, eventually that wears off. There's nothing exciting about it anymore because it's "just you." (Which is a perfect thing to be!) This, however, can lead to disappointment. Trust me when I say however, that that disappointment and jarring reaction to wrong pronouns will go away, and you'll once again feel comfortable in yourself.

      I love long hair. I'm wanting my hair to touch the floor. I guess we shall see how long it can get.

      I wear a wig most of the time.  But I can get by with my natural (shoulder length) hair if I wear a hat or something to cover the mostly empty top. Unfortunately that train has left the station, sigh.
