6Introduction

9It is common, for cisgender people (people whose gender identity matches
10the one they were assigned at birth), especially parents after their
11kids come out (whether grown up or still children), to assume that being
12trans means you're *gay*, because they assume by default that someone
13is attracted to a member of the opposite sex.
14
15This misconception can work in several ways, e.g.:
16
17- Parent/relative/friend assumes that a trans woman is a gay man.
18- Parent/relative/friend accepts the trans person's gender identity,
19 but thinks that they are attracted to a member of the opposite sex,
20 or that this change; e.g. they think that the trans woman (before
21 she came out) is now attracted to men.
22
23Generally speaking, it's never good to assume someone's sexuality. A
24trans person can be heterosexual, gay/lesbian or bisexual.

26This comic from *Assigned Male* by Sophie Labelle has some more insight:

56Rule of thumb
57-------------
58
59If a cis man likes only women, he is heterosexual/straight. If he likes
60men, he's gay. If he likes men and women, he's bisexual.
61
62If a trans man likes only women, he is heterosexual/straight. If he
63likes men, he's gay. If he likes men and women, he's bisexual.
64
65If a cis woman likes only men, she is heterosexual/straight. If she
66likes women, she's gay. If she likes men and women, she's bisexual.
67
68If a trans woman likes only men, she is heterosexual/straight. If she
69likes women, she's gay. If she likes men and women, she's bisexual.
70
71But it's not that simple!
72--------------------------
73
74There are other sexuality's, e.g. pansexual, demisexual, asexual, etc.
75Or aromantic/panromantic &lt;insert sexuality here&gt; here.
76
77What about non-binary people? A non-binary person is someone who
78identifies as neither strictly male or female at a given moment, or who
79switches identities, etc. There are many different types of non-binary
80trans people!
81
82***It's generally wrong to put labels on anyone. A person is who they
83are, and they like who they like. Get over it!***
84
85One thing is certain: sexuality has nothing to do with gender identity.
86Gender identity is who you are, and sexuality is who you want.
87
88Make sense now? Yes? Excellent!
