First’s there’s a difference between liking someone who’s a transvestite – someone who enjoys dressing in clothing typically associated with the opposite sex – and being attracted to someone who is transgendered/transsexual. Someone who is transgendered is someone whose gender identity (internal sense of being male or female) does not fit with his or her physical sex characteristics (genitals, secondary sex characteristics, chromosomal sex, hormonal sex). Theres a third category as well: intersexuals, who are folks with physical sex characteristics of both sexes. Their gender identity could be male or female.

So…
if you’re attracted to men dressed in women’s clothing, but whose gender identity is that of a man, and whose sex characteristics are male – they have a penis – you ARE attracted to men – just a particular type of man – one who’s a transvestite. Male transvestites can be gay, wherein they tend to refer to themselves as drag queens. But many men who are transvestites are actually straight, and may hide their cross-dressing out of fear that they will be rejected by their wives. And, of course, many are also bisexual, and so could have relationships with men or women.

If you are, as it sounds like you are, interested in folks who are intersexed, transgendered or transsexual, you are interested in folks who were born with male sexual characteristics but whose gender identity is that of a woman. You sound as though you’re leaning more into also being attracted specifically to someone who is transsexual – this refers to someone who is not only transgendered, but who has taken hormones and possibly had surgeries to begin changing their bodies so they fit better with their internal gender identity – that of a woman. Hormones will give them softer skin, reduce body hair, broaden their hips, make their breasts larger, etc. Surgeries might be breast enlargements, removal of the adams apple, creation of vaginas, etc. Many transsexual folks are somewhere in process on this, and by choice, some have all the surgeries available. It all depends on their preferences and individual priorities.

. Male transsexual/transgendered/transexuals are sometimes referred to as transensual. Many folks in the world have the same attraction as you, and you’ll find many women very interested in relationships with you. Many identify as straight women – and need to find a man who views them that way, too.
