Ok, you were bang on up until this part. Sexual orientation and gender identity are two entirely different issues all together. Just because someone feels they are a woman inside doesn't mean they will be attracted to men. sillyfish seems pretty clear that they are interested in women only, and while I might encourage further exploration of their sexual interests, I would not immediately say 'go try things out with guys instead!' like you did.

FYI: the ratio of straight to LGB members of the trans community roughly reflects the same ratio in the population as a whole.
