I consider myself to be Transgender. As I read the word Transgender or Transsexual what I see when I see those words is Transitioning Gender or Transitioning Sexual characteristics. Transitioning is the process, sometimes quite lengthy, of changing from one state [of being] to another. I am in that process.
I think, as was mentioned by others before, that porn sites are terribly skewed in how they present transgender individuals and overly sexualize the entire area of meaning and take something that should be acceptable and decent and twist it into something dirty and perverted. Human nature again, twists things into a wrongness that shouldn't be seen as wrong.
For myself, I have zero attraction to men. I am also not interested in sex with anybody at this stage of my life (I am more interested in just becoming WHO I am and will leave relationships etc for when I have finished transitioning). Once all is said and done, there will be plenty of time to figure out the rest.
On a side note... many of those 'porn star' transsexuals originally got into porn to pay for their continued HRT and eventual GRS's, some decided they liked the money enough to stay the way they are and not continue the process of transitioning, others stay only long enough to pay for their surgeries and move on with their lives afterwords. I can understand needing to pay for your transition process, it's not cheap, so I tend to give them the benefit of the doubt more than anything else.
Just my three cents.
