I'm MTF, on hrt for 8 years now. Pre hormones I considered myself straight with exceptions. These days I consider myself pansexual, though most of my relationships have been with other trans women. Most of this change for me was being more open and honest with myself. I was never really straight, I had exceptions to that. I just realized they weren't exceptions, but just the type of men I liked. Hormones might have enhanced that feeling a little, but I wouldn't expect it to just flip a switch and make you like men if you feel like you don't. For me a big indicator to me that I was trans was that I fell in love with a straight man, and it hurt that I wouldn't work for him. As with everything with hrt your experience will vary. if you've tryed being with men and found it off-putting, that cooooould change but most likely not.
I've never really tried to pigeon-hole myself as straight. I just like a feminine mind attached to feminine secondary sex characteristics (specifically hips thighs and ass). Also girl stink is like Viagra with a crack chaser. If I smell a woman's stinky pits I loose my fucking mind. I fully expect my more animalistic urges to diminish though.
