Decades ago it appeared far easier to make distinctions between male to female transsexuals in terms of their sexual orientation. We split them into androphilic (man-loving) and gynephilic (woman-loving) but then during that time the fluidity in sexuality we see today was far from being evident.
Yes, Kinsey had confirmed through his work in the late 1940's that sexuality also operates on a kind of spectrum except that it was much more hidden and repressed than now.
Also, transitions by gynephilic transsexuals tended to happen later in life after attempts at "curing" themselves because their true gender was more misaligned with orientation.
Today things are entirely different because not only are all transitions happening earlier in life, but also some people are reversing orientation post transition as they realize they had also been suppressing sexual desires.
This doesn't happen in every case but in many.
