I will also note that the number of transwomen who are attracted to males is higher than it at first appears.
like, maybe they tell you they’re attracted to women and you take that at face value (its kind of personal so no one is under any kind of obligation to disclose that, but sometimes they disclose that). And then some months later at a party you see you them leaving with a guy, and mentally update your p(their sexual orientation) without, of course, saying anything.
Estrogen seems to make a lot of girls more interested in men over time. Possibly progesterone is involved idk. So you may be meeting girls who are still figuring out their new sexuality with a new hormone balance. I don’t think it’s well understood. Both certainty a surprising number of trans girls predict they will be lesbian but end up with some sexual interest in cis men .

so, yes, I know at least one person who reports becoming attracted to men after starting hrt.
but I was more referring to the social dark matter effect, where the true amount of something is greater than is reported.
