Hi, I have a possibly very dumb question. If a man is heterosexual and then transitions to female, does she become homosexual if she still preferring women?

I feel like the homo/hetero naming does not make sense at all. "I am attracted to female/male-looking people" etc. seems way more useful at that point?

(I am not a native English speaker. This question is genuine and should not come of as provoking or attacking. If this is the case, please let me know on how to rephrase it. Thx <3 )

Your confusion is totally valid and it also confuses a lot of native speakers. Along with what yellowbadbeast said, It's also not uncommon (but becoming a little old fashioned) for people who don't fall in "traditional" gender norms to just use the label queer to describe their dating preferences to avoid confusion
