Not really, but kind of. I was always interested in women and men, but realizing i was trans helped me understand what i was feeling towards women was jealousy not sexual attraction. Unfortunately being attracted to men as a transwoman is kind of a nasty catch22 as my hands were too big for the straight men and the gay men really just wanted a twink. (generalizing here, not all men, etc etc)
So I became mostly aromanic, satisfied with just like… flings with guys online. soft catfishing for quick e-sex, and then I met my girlfriend, who makes me feel like I’ve never loved anyone except her. And we lived happily ever after
I’m not sure if mine changed, but I gave off such strong queer vibes that everyone has assumed I was bi or gay since I started high school. I could tell that as well, but not in a cohesive way that I could label, so I just kinda settled on bi.
Anyway I realised I was trans and almost completely gay for women (plus I never had a particular genitals preference). So I guess people were right, just in the wrong direction!
We call that harassment/xenophobia where I’m from
Not to say that any of your identity is false, just calling out the behavior for what it was, on the surface, from an outsiders perspective
I’m not saying people didn’t ever call me gay unkindly, but it wasn’t like that. People were more just surprised when I identified as straight, or when I didn’t show much interest in men.
Fair enough
