"But there is only one definition for straight... Gay is gay Bisexual, bi-curious is everything else " But they see the man as a woman, their look, they're feminine attributes etc, so can that not be considered straight? | |||

"so basically the guys are into anal sex with another man and that to my mind is not considered straight ." Well in most our minds if a woman looks like a woman and was born a woman, she's a woman.... But in her mind she's a man, we just choose to ignore how she feels. | |||

People would lose their shit if they were told they shouldn't identify as curvy, slim, athletic, bbw etc. However people decide to label themselves is of little consequence to anyone else imo. | |||

" Even if it were a transexual lady, I would still call it bi sex. Reason being is the fair enough she might identity herself as female, but the fact that there is male parts there does make it bi and not straight. I think the OP is only fooling himself if he thinks any of what he is suggesting is straight, no harm in being bi. But I think its making a mockery of any one who is straight to suggest such a thing. | |||

"at the end of the day the only person you have to reconcile your sexuality with is YOURSELF .How others choose to view it is not really of any concern , so if you want to meet other men for sex and call yourself straight , go right ahead ! " Agreed. Do what you like, call it what you want and fuck the begrudgers/naysayers. If you both enjoy, who cares! | |||

"I'm not in anyway familiar with this scenes, however I always thought CD/TV are men dressed up in woman's clothes while TG/TS are men/women who have a gender identity that differs from their physical gender. As with all those groups or labels the borders are diffused and might even overlap. Anyhow to answer the original thread question. No I don't think they're straight. Alternatively I could ask you: is a otherwise straight woman who has sex with a TV/CD bisexual? " Blurred lines...it is what it is. Well said DH | |||

"First of all, nice use of the term cock is a frock folks. It's about as PC as whale in a veil. Moving swiftly on. As with most of these types of threads it has very little to do with how any of us view tvs or the sexual practices we choose to share with them. It's almost always about a guys fear of being labeled gay. Bi is bad enough but God forbid the tvs underwear happened to fall of and jesus tap dancing Christ before you know it you have a guy standing in front of you and you've instantly turned into a raging gaylord. Nope not the normal guy dabbling in a little bi fun anymore. You're one of those gays now fella, the shame of it. If you wanna suck cock then sick a cock. If you wanna try anal then try anal. If you wanna dress up as a goat and sing the Russian national anthem then do it but grow a pair of balls and don't fear a label a complete stranger puts on or or even worse a label you put on yourself " this | |||

"Labels are for clothes not people. Sexuality can very much be a fluid thing. Kinsey's model was very flawed but as an outline it put the figures as, 25% rigidly heterosexual, 10% rigidly homosexual and everyone else on a sliding scale between. That allowed for "contingent homosexuality" i.e. prison, but even without it, people experiment, change or just do what they feel like at a moment in time. The experiences we have don't define or catagorise who we are. So the question is redundant for anyone who is actually open minded. In other words, who people choose to have sex with is none of my business, nor is how they identify. " ^^^ this | |||

"Ah the 'dont label people' police are out in force again. The op just asked a simple question; it really does have a simple answer.

"As with most of these types of threads it has very little to do with how any of us view tvs or the sexual practices we choose to share with them. It's almost always about a guys fear of being labeled gay. " Probably the smartest comment on the thread so far. It's difficult to have a nuanced conversation about this with SOME straight people, because some of them fear queerness and couldn't stand to be seen in that way, so they take strong stances on things like defining other peoples sexualities for them. Like if we pretend everything is black and white then we won't have to question ourselves too much. Just speaking from my experience. Not nowadays thankfully, most of my straight friends are sound, but ya meet the odd one who can't shake the conservative hangover we all seem to have. Anyway, I thought this was a good read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_sexuality_spectrum Fuck categories. Have the craic. | |||

"I suppose it's up to those men themselves to decide whether they want to consider themsvelves "straight" or not. I feel it lies closer to bisexuality than heterosexuality myself but it's a very subjective topic. Why should those men care what I think either way? Who actually cares what label other people are at the end of the day? The only persons sexuality you should care about is your own and your partners. Who cares what other people lable themselves as? To be honest the only people I can see caring is those uncomfortable with their own sexuality! Just one hetrosexual (only has sex with women that where born women) man's opinion. Live and let live, it's 2016 for christ sake! " This is a really sensible comment, and it's kinda how I feel. The only thing I would say is that (yeah, even now in 2016) it still matters to queer folks what other people think - why? Because a lot of people still think there's something wrong with that way of being. We need queer (or LGBT if you prefer) people to be shown that they will be safe in expressing their sexualities just as straight people do. Despite legalising gay marriage and passing a gender recognition bill, both of which are really progressive steps, society still has a lot of changing to do. Gay/lesbian/trans people are still being attacked verbally and physically on a regular basis in this country. No matter how you feel about people with cocks liking other people with cock, that's just plain fucked up. The connection between this and the original question, is that attacks like these don't come from a cultural vacuum. They come from a culture where LGBTQ people are viewed as less than completely human, and that attitude is reinforced by people claiming identities on behalf of others. Back to the original question: a lot of people seem to think it's a simple question with a simple answer, and only one correct answer at that. It isn't. Human sexuality is beautifully complex and varied. Some people who are attracted to gender non-conforming people are straight, others aren't. It's really down to what label you are most comfortable with. What other people say shouldn't matter, but while there are people around who still think it's ok to police other peoples identities, I can't help but be a narky fucker about it. Kisses | |||

""It is what it is" No. No it isn't. That's the point. Gender and sexuality are spectrums. We all occupy a point on that spectrum. Which point we occupy can change over time, for some people. For others it won't and that's fine too. Some are comfortable with the labels society imposes on them because of what point they occupy, others aren't. I really don't understand why people feel the need to be so adamant about categorising other people and their experiences. A persons sexual identity is their own. " what he said | |||

Each to their own but I think if you shag men then you can't be straight .. " That's probably because bi-erasure is very prevelant amongst gay men. A large proportion of gay men. tend to assume wrongly, based on their own experience, that bisexuality is just part of the process of coming out. Or others assume that bisexuals are just greedy. I would agree whole heartedly that they're not straight, though they are not gay either. In some senses they may not be bi either, which is why the medical profession use the term men who have sex with men. Once again though, they can call themselves anything they want. No one else here has the right to decide that. | |||

"the whole what ever a person identifies as is a load of bollox if i identify as a sentient toaster doesn't change that im a male human. " Hauld on now a minute...I think I need to explain a few things to you about electrical appliances. Humans, ya see, are biological, and equipped with brains. We can use those brains to consciously alter our biological and social forms. Furthermore, unlike sentient toasters, we exist in reality. Toasters, on the other had, are household appliances (designed and built by the aforementioned humans), with the sole function of slightly burning bread (or maybe sometimes lighting fags). With the best will in the world, they just can't be as self-guided as we are. The roles of "man" and "woman" are determined by the societies we live in, not by our bodies. We're all capable of most of the same things, excluding childbirth and lactation for people with wombs, and insemination for people with penises. Beyond that reproductive function, our bodies can do the same stuff. So it really shouldn't matter what human identity you choose for yourself, but YOU CAN CHOOSE IT FOR YOURSELF. I know men with wombs, and I know women without wombs. If you choose to identify as the gender you were assigned at birth, that's totally fine. But if you're actually secure in that identity then you shouldn't get so pissy about other people changing theirs. | |||

"People have many identities: gender, occupation, nationality, religion. It's fairly acceptable in most forward-thinking cultures to change the last three, so why not the first?" Because these are all social constructs - sexuality is much more inherent and hard-wired even though it is influenced and constructed by parents and society to some extent. So it is harder to change. Some people are entirely straight, some entirely gay. Many are in between and if you wanted a label for them, they would be bi.But I don't see the need for anyone to adopt labels or stances if they don't want to - people should be free to play with who they want regardless of society's definitions. | |||

"If a gay woman who likes to wear masculine clothes seeks a straight woman and they kiss, touch, lick, toy, 69, suck and fuck and end up in a crumpled sweaty mess on the floor, does that make the straight woman late for her bus? " | |||

""It is what it is" No. No it isn't. That's the point. Gender and sexuality are spectrums. We all occupy a point on that spectrum. Which point we occupy can change over time, for some people. For others it won't and that's fine too. Some are comfortable with the labels society imposes on them because of what point they occupy, others aren't. I really don't understand why people feel the need to be so adamant about categorising other people and their experiences. A persons sexual identity is their own. " Perfect ! | |||
