...So...deep denial, huh?

 

[RamenRider]

She brought up a good point since most of them still generally like girls and then just torpedoed it.

 

[Flame-2-Haze]

I mean, if you still have the mentally of a male (despite having the female body), you'd want to go with another girl a la yuri?

It's like, "Oh, my body's a girl now, therefore, I must pair up with a man." Like, did your personality changed or something?

Then again, if you swing that way toward another man (before becoming a girl), more power to you.

And I, for one, welcome our TS one-shot/webcomic overlord.

No homo bro after genderbend:

If you found a very good friend and realized that this guy could be the best person to have a lasting relationship with?

Why dafaq not if you turned into a girl.

Gender fundamentalism applied to sexuality can definitely be a souring factor for TS stories when it's just applied arbitrarily.
"I'm a girl now, so other girls suddenly aren't attractive to me anymore" makes me roll my eyes every single time. Like I know cis girls who goon way harder on other girls than I do; the "current gender fully defines sexual preference full-stop" take is pretty clearly nonsense.
If you want to write the character so that they end up with someone of the opposite gender, go for it! Just don't pretend that their gender change mandated that.

Honestly, this still kind of applies with same-sex relations already, although it might be a bit easier to write for with TS stories. I know yuri stories pull this off all the time.

You can just assume their brains were TS'd as well. We're talking about literal magic, there are no rules and biology was already thrown out of the window. There is no point in having a TS guy end up with a girl, that's just yuri with extra steps.

 

[AnotherAverageReader]

Heh heh, gay.

 

[DiAlexPhos]

The both of them look so like that i thought this was a sequel to “Until My Best Friend Who Became a Girl One Day Becomes Happy”

 

[trumuted]

You all above talk like this type oneshots are about TSed girls. No, it's always about you the MC (whose pov we see) dating TSed friend. And MCs in the most of times are just males.
It's like asking why every heroine in dating/harem games loves the MC. The answer is simple: because the MC is the MC. Why the girls have to love the MC is never a question

Shame no before design

Just have sex with both and then compare ;P

as someone who has 'TS'-ed herself, 'TS' girls tend to not end up with guys in the real world. they end up with each other c:

Yeah, there’s not really any reason the brain’s biology wouldn’t arbitrarily change as well.
I do think that TS manga gloss over the dysphoria a bit too much although that’s becoming less of a trend. How they handle that and their former/(current?) crushes is a reasonably interesting subplot to me although I tend to feel sorry for them if the feelings were/become reciprocated and then gender conformity sets in for the MC.

It's silly to say there's no point, when the exact same thing can be said of the case of them changing their preference. That's just "het with extra steps". Just read a regular het romance at that point, right? You wouldn't say they're the same, right?

Different TS stories are written with different perspectives. It's common for people to self-insert as the TS'd character, and in those cases especially, having preferences just change forcibly and arbitrarily both makes no sense and can end up being an overall turnoff to the story. Just let the character explore and discover their attractions naturally, and there will be an audience that appreciates it, regardless of what tag we use to describe that particular romance in the end.

All that said, there's definitely an audience for the TS stories that do force arbitrary mental changes. I just prefer to call it like it is -- and to me those stories are a more fetishistic take that borderlines on personality replacement, so it's not for me.

In genderswap male to female stories, I can understand the yuri, het, and non-romantic routes about equally well.

For former males who are still entirely or mostly male on a psychological level, yuri makes 100% sense. They liked girls before, they became a girl, they still like girls.

Het routes make sense for former men whose brains and/or hormones were more severely affected by the genderswap, and for men who were homosexual prior to the genderswap.

The non-romantic route makes sense for someone who just isn't interested in dating or romance due to one or more factors like awkwardness or not knowing themselves that well after the genderswap.

Speaking personally, I prefer stories with the yuri route above all.

Lesbians exist, y'know. You don't need to have a masculine brain to be attracted to women. (and gay men also exist, which break the reasoning similarly)

The sexual orientation of the character does not show whether they have changed mental gender. What does show whether they changed mental gender would be lack or presence of gender dysphoria in some shape or form, or at least desire to return to their previous gender. (although, no such desire after magical transition might also be an indication of being that gender in the first place, just as a closeted trans person)

Fwiw, a majority of trans women are into women (and a majority of them are into men, a plurality is bi/pan), so this is not a great metric.

(also, completely unrelated and feel free to ignore, if you are so much into those stories with people who turn into lesbians, have you considered wanting that for yourself? I can say it's pretty cool to do so)

There is literally zero appeal to genderbend yuri compared to fucking your bros

"current gender defines sexual preference doesn't make sense" You sure about that? Let's think about this for a minute. What kind of things can alter a person's mentality? Diet and exercise is one. Getting into shape can greatly improve one's mood and change the way they think about themselves to the point where they're like a whole new person. Mental illnesses are treated with drugs and sometimes surgical procedures. Serious brain damage can completely change a person's personality. Everything that changes the mind is done through changes to the body, which makes sense since the body is a product of the mind. Maintaining a male mentality after your body is turned female? Now there's something that doesn't make sense. So where does that leave sexual preference? Is it a product of the body as well or the mind? It obviously can't be the mind because if the mind had any say on a person's sexual orientation then it really would be a choice. People could pick and choose who they're attracted to whenever and however they wanted. No, sexual orientation has to something that's hardwired into the body. So after taking all that into account what would happen if someone's entire body changed into the opposite gender? Do you still think such a drastic change would have no effect on their mind? On their orientation?
