    years ago I used to like girls who are femme more then girls who are not (I am attracted to girls who I can connect to on an emotional level) but over the past few years I have started to like tomboys and butch girls more and more attractive .could there be a reason behind this?

    You answered the topic question yourself :wink: Yes, attractions can definitely change... I don't know if there are any particular reasons... It seems like quite natural process to me... Life is change. :slight_smile:

    Of course, people's tastes change as they get older and wiser

    Yes, my taste in boys changes I grew older. Well, strangely enough I tend to be more accepting now, used to be I only want to date gaymers. Now I like any sort of mysterious guys =] I suppose its all for the better.

    Yes, but I also believe that past experiences, positive or negative, can also affect someone's taste. I.e. being treated well by a woman who is not deemed attractive by society's norms can actually make that "type" more appealing etc.

    Some yes. As you live and gain experience you start to see beauty in places you couldn't imagine to find.

    Some not like my attraction to blonde guys/red haired ladies. Whenever I try to create hot guy or girl they end up with those hair colors.

    it can have to do with you, the real you.
    I'm not entirely sure how long you have accepted yourself as Trans, but this can have a bit of weight on it. bare with me while I explain it a bit before slandering me lol.
    when you were a guy, you may have felt pressured by your peers and or society to like femme ladies, because that is the norm, men like ladies, ladies who dress well "lady-like".
    Now that you are comfortable with yourself, you don't feel the need to uphold societies standard of what a "lady" should look/dress like.
    Also if you have started Hormone therapy, this has a small chance to change what your body finds attractive via pheromone receptors, as taking MTF hormones suppresses our ability to subtly pick-up female pheromones and makes it easier for us to pick-up Male pheromones, of course the Pheromones happen on a level you have no control over.

    Sexuality is very fluid so it can most definitely change :slight_smile: They say that every five years you want something completely different than what you wanted five years prior. It's all a part of growing up, finding yourself, and the direction that life is taking you :slight_smile:

    If it didn't, I'd still be attracted to the 16-year-old skate rats I thought were cute about three decades ago. :slight_smile:

    I always had the potential to be attracted to anyone, as long as I like the person, so can't really speak from experience. But yeah, I'd say it can change. :slight_smile:

    Oh wow it definitely changes. But in my case I think as my tastes have changed I've gotten closer to my true attractions: as I've shifted from men to women I was better able to voice what I want, whereas with guys I was just like "yea i'm into whatever... oh but not that. or that. definitely not that."

    So it's changed, but I think the true desires were there all along.
