I don't hate you for it, but I disagree with you. It's possible that what determines your desire for one sex or the other is how much testosterone or how much estrogen you have. I could be wrong. If your attraction doesn't determine your sexuality, then what does?

And not everyone is male or female. There are people who feel they are in-between, even if they have the genitals of one sex. There are also intersexuals, who are also known as hermaphrodites. Sometimes people are born with both sets of organs. And sometimes doctors tell parents to make a choice, and raise the child as one sex, but that doesn't always work out well, because the child sometimes feels like the other sex. I think it's best to wait, and let the child figure it out (maybe into his/her teens). It's even possible the child will decide later in life s/he doesn't want to pick a sex, and is fine as s/he is.

But as for deciding whether you're gay or not, for some, it's something they know early on. For others, it takes a while. Give yourself time.
