It’s not common, but it’s not rare either. Learning your partner is LGBT+ may instigate a period of self-examination and discovery for the Straight Partner or Partner of a Trans Person in a multitude of ways, which may include a reexamination of their own sexuality. Sometimes the Straight Partner or Partner of a Trans Person will question their sexuality at some point during or after a Mixed Orientation Relationship, especially if intimacy between the couple is fraught or difficult. Alternatively, the Straight Partner may re-examine their own sexuality after disclosure. Partners of Trans People may question their sexuality in response to the gender transition of their trans partner, wondering if they can be sexually attracted to the same gender. Finally, some Straight Partners or Partners of Trans People are so scarred by trauma that they have a hard time trusting members of the opposite sex. They may choose to date or experiment romantically or sexually with members of the same sex during their healing.
