To ask a question about transgender?

Before I ask this I'm going to hold up my hands and admit that I know next to nothing about this subject so may well that the answer is blindingly obvious and I'm too stupid to work it out.

Am watching CBB and for the second time (that has been aired there could have been more comments) Kellie has expressed confusion about her sexual preference once her transformation is complete.

My question is, are people who change their gender not aware of their sexual preference? Does that really change if you change gender?

Isn't that an issue Kellie would have dealt with before embarking on the journey to become the person she felt she should be?

Poltergoose When you say give a wee sample is wee a noun or an adjective?

Not much knowledge to ass but curious about a couple of things:

What's CBB?

Is a detransitioning transwoman a man who became a woman and is now becoming a man again. Or the other way around? Or is detransitioning just another word for transitioning?

I think your closing question neatly illustrates why our attempts to neatly categorise gender, even to categorise and 'explain' gender identities beyond the binary categories of 'man' and 'woman' might necessarily be restrictive and over simplifying!
