Am I queer?

[IceCream512]

I am currently in a poly relationship, and my girlfriend and I are discussing whether or not I can/should identify as queer. I am attracted to women, including trans women. My understanding has always been that since trans women are women, I am straight. My girlfriend, who is herself neuro-divergent and queer, argues that I would be considered queer because I am not only attracted to women who were born biologically female. Any opinions would be appreciated because google did not seem to understand my question.

I wouldn’t consider polyamorous queer. If you’re a cis man dating multiple women and you’d only ever date or have sex with women, why would that make you queer?

if anything, your polyamory could make you queer (a grey area but I’d consider it such). being attracted exclusively to women (INCLUDING TRANS WOMEN) as someone who identifies solely as male is straight.
