ok this may sound like a stupid question...?

I have a few questions about gay and lesbian people.

with gay women, is it that you wish that you were a man, like you feel that you are a man in a woman's body, or are you fine with being a woman, but your just attracted to women...

same with gay men. Do you feel that you were supposed to be a woman, or are you ok with being a man, you just aren't attracted to women...

I've always been curious about this b/c I've heard on TV people saying things like "since I was very little I knew I was meant to be a man... or I feel like I'm stuck in a woman's body..."

Thanks!

    I'm totally content with the equipment I was born with, also the way I was born to use it. I know some male-born ppl who feel they should be female. The vast majority of male transvestites are heterosexual in practice. One transexual I know became a woman in order to be a lesbian. We are all incredibly different from everyone else. It's difficult to establish any kind of rules that always apply in human behaviour studies.

    It can be either one. They can feel like a man in a womans body [or the other way around] or they can be fine with being a man and being attracted to other men. There is nothing worng with that. I don't know why people think gays and lesbians are bad people.

    Never wanted to be a woman, but do not want to be 'with' one either. If you are a woman, and are attracted to a man, the way you feel is the same as I. I like how they look, smell, feel, all of what makes a man a man. This is something you are born with, and I tried for several years to be 'normal' or straight. Finally, came out to myself and admitted what I knew since puberty.

    You are getting gays and lesbians confused with people who are transgendered. When you are gay you are simply attracted to people that are the same sex as you. You don't wish to be the opposite sex at all. Transgendered people however are the ones that wish to be the sex they were not born with. There is a big difference.

    The people you hear saying that desire to change the genitals they have been born with. the gay people are truly happy being who they are and being attracted to who they are attracted to. It sucks that it has taken everyone else so long to be able to accept it.

    The answer to both of those: BOTH.

    Some people think they were born the wrong gender. Others just simply aren't attracted to the opposite sex, and prefer a homosexual relationship.

    This answer varies from person to person.

    My best friend is gay, she just likes sex better with women, but she doesnt feel like she wants to be a man. Guess its just diffrent for diffrent people.

    lol,I think that it depends on who you are,maybe there are some lesbians who may want to be a man and like women and some liek being a woman and like girls.Same with Gay's.

    I guess it just depends.

    Thoose people on TV,what they said its probably just their opinion.

    lol

  • Personally, I don't undersatnd either. I believe this should be banned everywhere. Just yesterday I seen two girls about 17 yrs old walking holding hands and the woman was apparent but the other girl (guy) was trying to be a boy. This is a serious mental problem.

    i'm no longer too particular approximately any of the sensible solutions so a techniques - I as quickly as observed an old female on a bus together with her center-elderly daughter on the earlier from buying one morning, and at one degree the daughter (a noisy speaking female so as that her voice develop into of course audible to all and sundry on the decrease deck!) reported "You ain't have been given your container became on Mum" at which factor 'Mum' reached right into a pocket, and pulled out what looked like (yet wasn't) a small stick-microphone. Then each time she needed to assert something, she placed the top of this device onto the component of her neck, and with out hardly any lip strikes on her area, out got here the voice of Steven Hawkins from her coat pocket, in basic terms with an peculiar cockney accessory. It made the adventure somewhat exciting yet there develop into no keyboard or any sensible gadgetry on demonstrate, so there would desire to be a manner that something can electronically convert differences interior the form/length/place of vocal chords or mouth shapes into synthesised speech - and this develop into no longer something all THAT costly (even inspite of the undeniable fact that little doubt it develop into presented on the NHS) and those 2 females weren't wealthy - they had the two been in Asdas at Park Royal on a similar time as me, and have been, to assert the very least, no "females" , in case you get my flow ! ! !
