Some heterosexual men express sexual interest in feminine trans individuals with penises. It is possible that this interest arises from a tendency for heterosexual men to be sexually responsive to gender in addition to sex. We compared the self-reported sexual attraction and visual attention patterns of Canadian undergraduate heterosexual men (N = 51) and gay men (N = 20) to nude images of feminine trans individuals with penises, cisgender men, and cisgender women. Heterosexual men were most attracted to cisgender women and fixated on them the longest. However, they were more attracted to feminine trans individuals with penises than to cisgender men. They also biased their attention to feminine trans individuals with penises over cisgender men. This pattern was unique to heterosexual men. Gay men were most attracted to cisgender men and allocated the most visual attention to them. They responded to feminine trans individuals and cisgender women in a relatively similar manner. As such, heterosexual men appear to be responsive to sex and gender, which may account for sexual interest in feminine trans individuals among some heterosexual men.
一些异性恋男性对具有阴茎的女性跨性别者表达性兴趣。这种兴趣可能源于异性恋男性除了性之外,还倾向于对性别做出性反应。我们比较了加拿大本科异性恋男性(N=51)和同性恋男性(N=20)对具有阴茎的女性跨性别者、顺性别男性和顺性别女性裸体图像的自我报告的性吸引力和视觉注意力模式。异性恋男性对顺性别女性最具吸引力,注视时间最长。然而,他们对具有阴茎的女性跨性别者比对顺性别男性更有吸引力。他们也将注意力偏向于具有阴茎的女性跨性别者而不是顺性别男性。这种模式是异性恋男性所特有的。同性恋男性对顺性别男性最具吸引力,给予他们最多的视觉关注。他们对女性跨性别者和顺性别女性的反应相对相似。因此,异性恋男性似乎对性别和性做出反应,这可能解释了一些异性恋男性对女性跨性别者的性兴趣。
