As a 58 year old gay man, i see sexuality and identifying as a different gender confusing!!! Perhaps I have never stated it here, but I understand the biological desire for people to be sexually attracted to the same gender, but never understood the concept that I was the wrong gender, I am a man that prefers sexual relations with a man, it does not mean i want to be a woman!!! I have family through marriage that are Iranian and I had to laugh when my sister's brother in law told me, "we love the gays, we can make you a woman" he didn't understand that I am content with the fact that I am a man and am physically attracted to men ... I tried to be like my family wanted me to be, am actually still legally married to the only woman I married, but we live separate lives, she has had a boyfriend for over a decade ... probably too much information, but what the hell, we are all friends!!!
