Straight Girl Attracted to FTM Transgender Man

Amelie identifies as straight. But her feelings for an FTM tansgender man have made her question if this label is still the right one for her.

"I am a 20 year-old female, and I consider myself to be straight, and although I have a few fantasies about women, I feel like they are more curiosities than real sexual or romantic attraction.

I have many lesbian and gay friends, and I have always been very accepting and open to the idea of a sexual spectrum when it comes to others' sexuality.

I have recently become friends with a FTM transgender man, and I find myself very sexually (although not romantically) attracted to him."
