Attraction to transgender people refers to the romantic or sexual interest in individuals who identify as transgender. This type of attraction can be experienced by people of any sexual orientation or gender identity. It is important to understand that attraction to transgender people is a valid and natural form of human attraction.

Types of Attraction

Attraction to transgender people can be categorized into several types, including:

Understanding Transgender Identity

Transgender individuals are those whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth.
