I guess I need an explanation from someone who's Bi, perhaps?

Question

OK, so my friend Becky is about 25 years old. A long time ago, like 6 or 7 years ago, she started dating Peter, who was the same age as her then (18 or 19), and they were together for about five years. However, Peter has apparently always been questioning his sexuality, and like two years ago, he's decided that he should've been born a she, if you know what I mean. So Peter goes by the name "Patty" now, and he's been taking hormones for quite some time now, and so he has b***s. As far as I know, he hasn't gotten the surgery "down below", nor do I think he wants to do that.

ANYWAY, so yeah, "Patty" and Becky still remained friends after they broke up, and even still lived together. However, like a year ago, they decided to start dating again. So, with Peter being a Patty now, does that make Becky a L*****n/bi for dating "Patty"? Because I she doesn't consider herself one. I guess maybe she feels that she's still being straight because "Patty" has a p***s. lol. Do you know what I'm asking though? Is someone g*y or bisexual if they date someone who WAS the opposite gender, but now is the same as them?

Answer 1

i dont think so but how would patty be able to be intimate with a bloke so does thaat therefor make patty g*y?

Answer 2

Becky is whatever she says she is. this is something that happens alot it seems. Becky may not consider herself a L*****n because maybe she isnt normally attracted to women, but when yuou are in a situation like that, sometimes it doesn't matter whether youre with a woman or a man because Patty is still the same person

Answer 3

No i think your friend is still in love with "peters" personality regardless of the "Patty" outside
