Re: General LGBTQIA issues thread
koan, you don't appear to realize that object choice (who you want to fuck) and identity (who you are) are two completely different things. You write about changing the latter based on the former and picking holes as if people define their gender based on their sexuality. Does the fact that you have been attracted to both men and women make you both a woman and a man? No, because your gender identity and your sexuality are not the same.
People form gender identities far before they become aware of sex, never mind determine what kind of people they wish to have sex with. Transgender people feel they have been born in the wrong body from earliest consciousness. In fact today we see more and more pre-pubescent children coming out as transgender and taking steps to prevent the hormonal changes of puberty. Whether they end up being attracted to men or women, whether they are gay are straight, is a whole different conversation and the least of their concerns at that point.
