IMO, since hooking up with a t-girl is not a scientic gig, there can be no 100% accurate answer. It is every ones subjective opinion and there is no 100% concrete factual answer. Keeping this in mind, I will answer the question.
Most people who are not into the t-girl scene think there is a certain gayness in any man who desires to hook up with a chick with a dick for the simple reason that most people who are not into the t-girl scene think t-girls are not chicks with dicks, but men with tits. In other words, they totally disrespect the whole concept that a human being (the t-girl) could be born with the wrong gender internally. Most people who are not "up" on transsexualism think TS's have a mental or psychiatric problem that can be corrected through therapy and counseling so that the TS can learn to live as the gender they were born and be a "normal" person.
Most guys that I know who are into t-girls, keep it in the closet. I know 100's of guys like this. Many are married and their wife doesn't have a clue, many are single and most all of them see GG's too. They all enjoy t-girl hook ups and keep it in the closet to avoid the whole "is this gay" dialog. They enjoy the hobby and have no use for what labels are put on the hobby.
I know of a foxy t-girl who tops men and she thinks all the men who she tops are queer. That is her opinion. Personally, I just see it as perhaps the highest form of sexual transcendentalism available to man kind. It's freaky cool.
I think perhaps 75% of men who see GG escorts, think it is OK for a man to top a t-girl and still be considered straight. But if the t-girl tops the John, perhaps 75% would think he is gay.
Personally, I think a man hooking up with a t-girl is a phenomina that transcends gayness or gender. It is a psychedelic encounter that goes beyond gay or straight. IMO, gay equals hooking up with ones own gender. IMO, gender is not defined via a penis or a vagina. Hence therefore, a human being who represents herself as a lovely passable woman, who possesses a hard cock that enters a straight mans ass hole, no longer alters this mans title of straight. IMO, he is experiencing kinky sex with a woman, no different than a GG doing his butt with a strap on. In the psychedelic interpretation of human sexuality, I would almost equate a straight man being topped via a t-girl as similar to a straight man submitting to a hot babe GG dominatrix. It is a kinky sexual exchange that can't be defined as gay or straight, but "different". IMO, all of this depends on the varying degree of the t-girls passability. The more passable she is as a woman, the further we get away from the gayness of same sex with same sex. But in any event, IMO, men who hook up with a t-girls are not gay. Going to the other extreme, I would say that if a gay man did hook up with a t-girl, that encounter makes him bi-sexual. (t-girls are women IMO)
There is a very popular t-girl who posts in this TS forum. I won't mention her name, but IMO, her body and muscularity depicts more of masculinity than it does femininity. A review of her reveals that same perception. Still, IMO, a man who hooks up with her is not gay. But he is a man who seeks out masculine characteristics in a woman as opposed to sweet femininity.
It is funny, on boards where men hook up with GG escorts, it seems to be OK to have the fetish desire of a GG body rub girl offering prostate massage. Guys are OK to come out of the closet seeking this gig. I, many times respond offering different t-girls with a 5" cock that's not much larger than a GG girl fingering the guys ass. I tell them they should give it a try, they might like it.
Oh shit, all the ruffled feather responses I get when I do that!!
ha ha ha. I tell them, it's all the same shit, what's the difference?
The bottom line is, we're all out to get our rocks off. The label of "gay" is a negative stigma that most men who are into t-girls do not perceive themselves to be. IMO, 90 to 95% of all men who hook up with t-girls are straight. The other 5 to 10% are bi-sexual and IMO, there is no such thing as a gay man who has EVER had sex with a t-girl.
I like you Jamie. You are young and not dumb, but full of cum.
