Gay men were most attracted to cisgender men and allocated the most visual attention to them. This pattern was unique to heterosexual men. They also biased their attention to feminine trans individuals with penises over cisgender men. However, they were more attracted to feminine trans individuals with penises than to cisgender men. Heterosexual men were most attracted to cisgender women and fixated on them the longest. We compared the self-reported sexual attraction and visual attention patterns of Canadian undergraduate heterosexual men ( N = 51) and gay men ( N = 20) to nude images of feminine trans individuals with penises, cisgender men, and cisgender women. It is possible that this interest arises from a tendency for heterosexual men to be sexually responsive to gender in addition to sex. Some heterosexual men express sexual interest in feminine trans individuals with penises.
