- As my interest/acceptiance of being TS has grown, my attraction to men has
- increased as well. Some men are attractive enough to me to be distracting.
- (It's so annoying to trying to pay attention in class but be distracted by a
- cute teacher. <Grin> Now, when I see a woman, the intrest I seem to feel is
- mostly how closely she represents what i'd like to look/be like.
-
- The confusing part is, earlier, I didn't show any real interest in men, and a
- subdued attraction to women.
