Interesting question. I am female, and I answered the way I did because I truly consider myself to be bisexual as opposed to pansexual.

Interesting question indeed. I'm MtF and pansexual (thought my partners are usually women/feminine people, I just voted pansexual).

Straight is not on the list and it's pretty common too. I'm female (was born that way) and I am straight

I'm a female but totally straight. Not to say I don't find women attractive, because I do, just not in a sexual way.
04/07/2012
I'm transmasculine. I chose this because I try presenting as male and experience dysphoria relating my chest (etc.) and want more facial hair and all, but I don't really care about what people consider the "male parts" most of the time.
What best described my sexual orientation is gynephilic, but I identify as pansexual on a daily basis because I've been attracted to people who don't identify as either female nor feminine and that I didn't see as such either.
It makes me think: when I'm attracted to some because I see them as feminine, it can be insulting if they don't identify as such that I tell them. At least it's insulting to me when such things happen and people try to FORCE the identity on me!

Transmasculine and pansexual, but with a slight twist, I guess?

I am sexually attracted to pretty much all genders on sight, however, with females, I have to be in control sexually and won't allow them to touch me during intercourse. With males I can give up that control to them and let myself be touched.
I'm not certain how I would react emotionally toward other transsexuals, since the experience has never come up.

bisexual: attracted to people of the two binary genders or looking binary?
Also, contrary to MasonM, I would let female/feminine people touch me, but not male/masculine people, seeing touching as being in control as well.

I am not a super sexual person. But I am male and seem to be attracted to masculine people. It is hard to say because I have been attracted to so few people.
04/07/2012
I voted Trans Masculine for the same reasons as MasonM an TransMarc although I consider my orientation to be primarily Pansexual with heavy Androphilic influences. All the physical partners I've had have been male but I've also been attracted to women, although not for physical characteristics so much as who they were as a person. So if the person themselves fits with me, sex/sexuality/gender etc etc don't matter. Although I tend to also be attracted more by masculine characteristics. A strong jawline, broad shoulders and such.

Female and pansexual, but I prefer feminine men and women. I normally just say bisexual when asked, because not everybody knows what being pansexual is.
04/07/2012
i guess in some ways, i don't fit into the trans* stereotype. i don't consider myself an ftm. i just consider myself a guy. the fact that i don't have a cock doesn't change that. i answered trans masculine for the sake of the survey, but i feel a thousand percent male. hetero, meaning i like women. that isn't to say that i couldn't be attracted to anyone else. i have penis envy and think all kinds of people are attractive, i suppose. i've just mostly dated cis women. pansexual tendencies or curiousity if anything. still easier to call myself straight.

The reason why I choose Transmasculine is because no matter how much of a guy I am, I can't escape the expectations of society that I be female.

At least not yet.
I'm out to most of my friends anymore, but I haven't been able to bring myself out to my parents and until I do, I can't live every day as me. I have to still play the part for them, no matter how badly it hurts.

Regardless of how I see myself it doesn't change the fact that physically my body is female whatever I may choose to call certain parts. I don't think of myself as being FtM, I am male but my body is not and no amount of word twisting will make it such.

But hey I tend to look at things as they are and work from there instead of thinking how I want them to be and trying to figure something out. And it just keeps confusion down to make things as simple as possible so "trans masculine" it is even though I almost did select male at first e_e but didn't because to me that has connotations of physically being male when, physically I am not... atleastnotyet.

It's funny that when trans*masculine isn't an option I end up seeming like a straight cis male and not queer at all. I think that's a little ironic because I am very queer!

I'm FTM and although I listed pansexual I am more inclined to masculine features but I still can be sexually atracted to someone not masculine at all as long as I have a bond with them
04/12/2012
I am a cisgender female, married to a cisgender male. I will have sex with women but I have no interest in being romantic or in a relationship with them.

This is weird but I fluctuate between identifying as male and trans-male. Also coincides with changes to my self-consciousness and overall contentment..

male. what an interesting variety we have!
