Personally, I don't like this kind of generalisation. Sexuality can be very fluid, and obviously with fantasy you have artistic licence to do pretty much whatever you want to your characters' headspaces, but I've read way too many stories where a TGed character instantly becomes a submissive fucktoy to some generic male rapist, and it really gets me down.
Hear hear!

Let the protagonist keep his healthy male libido in that sexy female package and you have my interest.
