[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here are my questions (and since no one knows him personally, anyone should feel free to respond):

- if he says that he and Kris had a good sex life, does this mean he is comfortable with his body in some way? More specifically, will the changes he is pursuing change this? Does he expect to continue to sexual relationships with women? (Not that he would become attracted to men, I mean does he expect to find a woman who wants to be with him?)
- to the above, he mentioned a good sex life but also that he considers himself asexual (Diane Sawyer interview). This seems like a contradiction. What am I missing?

I thought he did a good job explaining that sexuality and gender identity are completely different. So he still felt sexual in terms of wanting the other person and being attracted to them. He just felt that way as a woman "in his soul." Perhaps now, it's more age than anything else, that being truly himself is more important than pursuing a sexual life? Not sure, just a guess. Also guessing that if he fully transitions and then pursues a relationship, it will be with a woman. Transitioning doesn't change whom you're attracted to. [/quote]

Actually, transitioning does frequently change sexual orientation. Especially so for male to female transitions. My guess is that Bruce will soon come out as "gay" which will actually be "straight" because he would be a "woman" dating men. [/quote]
