Where's the Lesbians at?

You know, I'm writing this rant because I just read another story where the main character went straight.
Why am I writing this?
Because I'm not attracted to men! Not even a little! Here we are, in the trans society, thinking we're all so liberally oriented. Well if that's the case, then why the hell do I keep reading stories where the main character goes straight? It's a very frequent occurrence in trans stories.
I'm going to go out on a limb here, and say that most of us probably aren't attracted to men. Why am I ranting about this in a blog? GOOD QUESTION!
It's because I just don't understand this phenomena. Most stories are heterosexually oriented on the TG sites (FM, BCTS). Man turns into a woman, and is suddenly heterosexual. You know what I think about that? BS!
Is being gay so bad? Why do I have to read dozens of shallow stories that involve relationships with men? I don't want to read hetero romance. It's so odd. Most stories are heterosexual. I've read VERY FEW where the main character is a lesbian. Sorry, I don't wanna suck dick. Now why do authors keep writing about that in the TG genre? I'm also not interested in how handsome men are.
I also get the feeling that a lot of writers are writing about these things, and they don't actually have any experience with it. Guess what, I'm a passable transsexual. I HAVE dated men. And I didn't like it! And so many stories are completely unrealistic concerning heterosexual romance. I like women, and holy hell batman, I'm not afraid to admit it or write about it!
So far I haven't written any stories for BCTS, but that changes here and now. I have some stories on FM, and I think I'm going to write some wholly new stories for this site. And guess what? They are going to be chalk full of lesbians.
