White Girl Black Husband

Is there a connection between having transgender ideas about yourself while also regarding yourself as an otaku? Does there come a point where one crosses an almost impassable boundary of anime consumption where one begins to regard individuals of the same sex as sexually attractive?

Now come very close to our noses, and try to figure this one out with us as we survey reddit forums, articles pondering this same question, and draw from our own experiences growing up on anime in order to gain some clarity on this confounding question.
