It is much harder than gay or straight. That is a simple sexual attraction and could be phemerone ish or something.

This does not mean I am judging them, just struggling with comprehending. I understand the whoops - doctor changes sex of child and child knows it is wrong. Understand if the bodies hormones are different, but have trouble seeing why people should care about what sex they are in a not medical way. Mom wanted me to be a girly girl with frills make up and high heels, I just didn't feel like it, and ended up excelling at more "Male identified" things. I live in jeans and tee shirts, don't see why it is important what sex I am, except at work where I had to fight the old boy network and usually did by going out with them and drinking them under the table. So, why it is important to change sex when sex should not matter very much except when you have to fight to get accepted. I.e. I hate gender identified toys and rules and roles and never understood why people were upset when men wore dresses, like who does it hurt?
