Have you ever been attracted to someone of the same gender thinking they were the opposite gender?

Question

I wouldn't say I was attracted, but I had this girl in uni who looked like a guy or androgynous, tall, dressed in blazers and somehow masculine clothes, sharp features, not curvy, italian looking, and short loose curly black hair.

I found her/him handsome but when I saw the bra strap under her blouse I face palmed 😶
She's not trans but when I talked to her and close to her face I could tell she was actually a girl, just androgynous.

It happened to me a little over 11 years ago, lol. This new kid at our school looked a lot like a boy. I thought "he" looked super cute. I liked "his" healthy looking jet black hair, tan skin, and bright white smile. "He" was my crush. As a young girl, I used to get really nervous whenever I was around a particular someone I liked 😅 Naturally, I got the slight sensation of butterflies in my stomach when I saw this kid. When I heard that it's actually a girl, I immediately lost attraction. By the way, this girl wasn't in the same class as me, she was in the other class, so I didn't find out her gender along with her fellow classmates. The way I found out that it's a girl, was hearing it in the school bus. A few of her classmates told me that it's not a boy. I was very surprised and so was everyone else. By that time it felt like the attraction never happened. It was a relief in a way because the pressure of feeling nervous around my crush completely disappeared. I can't speak for everyone else but when you're a kid or a pre-teen and you like someone it's very nerve racking and a lot of pressure, right?

Yes but I was also still growing up... but I'm gonna go with Shane on L Word. I have actually been fooled by some haircuts and laughed. Then got remiss that its not a dude but appreciate it.., although I have always resented women who want to look more like a guy, I'm like why? For straight girls? or Lipstick lesbians? Its for straight girls, I have trouble respecting it...

“This look? This is on purpose. To attract women. So if you’re a guy out there and you’re like, ‘I’m not sure if I’m into that!“

No... but as a child I went on a class trip to Florida and I saw... someone when we stopped for lunch. S/he was large framed, boobs but no hips... in a dress... with long hair, and hairy man legs and a beard.

And I had never been more confused in my life lol

Looked like a man with boobs. At that time I had not yet heard of transgender people so maybe, now that I think about it, that's what s/he was but I'm not sure. It was also Florida. Floridians do some wacky shit lol

Yes, kind of? There was this girl at my summer camp who would dress up as a guy for silly skits. She'd roll up her sleeves (she was pretty muscular) and she'd stuff her hair into a backwards baseball cap and talk like a tomboy and... yeah, she reminded me too much of a boy tbh. I was super confused, though. I did know she was a girl at the time, but when she intentionally tried to look like a guy I was still weirdly attracted to her.

"Yes" if by "gender", it means biological sex and not identity.

I went to a night club in Kabuki-cho and saw a very pretty girl across the dance floor. Even up close it was hard to tell that "she" was actually born male. It was like this kind of transsexual:

It was only when she started speaking and I noticed something unusual about her voice that I realized something was odd.

Yes, in uni. There is this really handsome girl (yes, handsome), so my friend Diane and I were walking on campus and i hear a very masculine voice behind me. I turn around and see a handsome guy. I swear my heart skipped a beat for a minute. After he/she left. I was like:" Diane hold me I'm about to faint." (Hahaha). Then Diane being Diane said you do know that's a girl. I was shocked and sad for the whole day 😣😣.

Yumix · Answer

in real life... probably not. I can't remember any case.
Online... I've seen transexuals where you couldn't tell just from the pics that they were guys, and in that case there are some I would consider attractive only going by looks.

super147 · Answer

No, I can't say that's ever happened to be honest. There aren't many guys who look anything like girls at all.

I see them allllll the time. Engineering where you can't differentiate the gays from the lesbians. All a fucking unisex orgy.  I see girls with monobrows everyday.  Welcome to engineering

Bleh-___- · Answer

Haha yeah it happened to me before. The thing is she had a masculine voice. You can't just go up to someone and ask if they're a boy or a girl

vishna · Answer

Hmmm, no, I'm not really into feminine or androgynous looking guys.

Rissyanne · Answer

No... but I would be pissed if she didn't tell me who she really was.

Tranny confusion! Dude looks like a lady! With boobs and all!

Jrossetti · Answer

I've only questioned if someone was a man or a woman and I never found them attractive

Anonymous · Answer

No, I think it's because women are more curvy and that turns me off. As far as I know, this hasn't happened before.
