A question about attraction (pawb.social)

Hi all, I've been thinking about this a while and to be honest I'm a bit confused about it.

I'm a cis gay(?) guy and basically I want to know, is it ok to be attracted to trans women but not cis women? I'm worried that this separation might be considered invalidating?

Also I don't know what label to use for my own sexuality in this case, but maybe labels aren't always straightforward or all that important

Thank you :3

Yeah I guess I go to a lot of parties where there are a bunch of cute cis guys and trans girls, and I find them all attractive. One thing in common with a lot of my friends is that we're all quite twinky/feminine in a way, so maybe that's part of what I find attractive (and what contributes to liking the body shapes you mentioned.

Attraction being evaluated on a case by case basis is a really good way to think about it!
