In this presentation I reflect on interview data that explores trans men’s sexual relationships with other men to expand our thinking about contemporary renderings of gay male sexuality. In particular I look at how the cultural regulation of gender can come to impact on how desires and relationships are experienced, labelled and made culturally meaningful. I will reflect on the therapeutic implications of this and in particular how we can avoid bringing our own presumptions of gender and sexual orientation categories, so that we can support rather than undermine the identities, orientations and desires of our clients.
