Are all transvestites gay? Are all transsexuals gay?
Most transvestites are heterosexual. Tapestry Magazine did a survey on the sexual orientation of its transvestite readers, and found that 75 percent of them were heterosexual. There are several groups exclusively for heterosexual transvestites that have very large memberships (tri-ess, etc). Many psychologists say that transvestites are in the same proportion of gay to straight individuals as the non-transvestite segment of the male population. The MTF transsexual population is roughly 50 percent oriented towards males. The FTM transsexual population is more oriented towards females, but many FTM’s have relationships with gay men.
