Are transgendered people more likely to be gay/bisexual?

[pablovian]

Just wondering what the general trans community thinks about trans sexuality. It seems from what I see or read or hear that most transgender people must be gay. Guy to Girl still wants to be with girls or vice versa. If you were male but new you should be female, wouldn't you be (at least 90% of this population) attracted to men? It seems to me that most trans people are attracted to / date people of their own gender.

i have met all types, that's the problem with generalizing/sterotypes.

Remember gender and sexual orientation are different. I know many trans lesbians, gay trans men, and hetero trans people.

I am not entirely convinced the assertion is wrong. I agree with the gender/orientation and the stereotype comment but there may be some merit to the observation. while not everybody is or is not, a majority is/are.

If I were betting, I would say that the majority of MTF are attracted to males. Because of that I would equally assume the same case with FTM. While there are plenty that do not fit the mold, as a general rule or as a majority, I think it would hit pretty well.

This is not scientific, nor all inclusive, simply a best guess based on my experience.
