The process of gender transition has varying effects on various aspects of sexuality. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of transitioning on transgender persons' sexual preferences and partnerships. Data were collected through an anonymous online survey. Questions focused on timing of gender transition in relation to change in sexual preference. Transgender individuals have a variety of sexual partners, predominantly cisgender, and may change sexual preference when they transition. Transitioning can be associated with having no primary sexual partner, despite past sexual partnerships. Length of time between identifying as transgender and starting the transition might be associated with changing sexual partner preference, particularly in transgender women. The emerging trends of sexual partnerships and changing sexual preferences related to the transition in this study warrant further investigation. These data provide more understanding of the relationship between transitioning and sexual preferences and partnerships.
性别转变过程对性取向的各个方面有不同影响。本研究的目的是调查转变过程对跨性别者性偏好和性伴侣关系的影响。数据通过匿名在线调查收集。问题集中在性别转变时间与性偏好变化的关系上。跨性别者有各种各样的性伴侣，主要是顺性别者，并且在转变过程中可能会改变性偏好。尽管过去有过性伴侣关系，但转变可能与没有主要性伴侣有关。从认定为跨性别者到开始转变之间的时间长度可能与性伴侣偏好的改变有关，尤其是在跨性别女性中。本研究中与转变相关的性伴侣关系新趋势和性偏好变化值得进一步研究。这些数据有助于更深入地理解转变与性偏好及性伴侣关系之间的联系。
