Getting a sex change in the "real world" would make you a transvestite. And a transvestite doesn't like girls.
However, in the "anime world", it depends. If the case would be "Ranma 1/2-like", just confused. If the case would be "Kashimashi-like", I'd consider him a lesbian.
fyi transvestite = wear clothes of opposite sex, eg Eddie Izzard (who is straight, and confusingly describes himself as a "male lesbian"
transsexual = sex change due to body / mind difference. Most people that get sex change operations always mentally identify themselves as the opposite gender to what they are physically born with and have the operation to correct a genetic error. Their orientation is entirely separate.
When I first read the comment, I thought it sounded "off".
You have to understand, I live in a small town
I pondered the original comment because a person could conceivably think they should have been born the other gender just as easily as having a preference that could be for either gender.
What I liked about Kashimashi, was it explored what a guy become girl would do with pre existing relationships. The guy isn't going to automatically think like a girl just because he becomes one. It was funny seeing how the girls had to show him how to act like one
