People can care and want fairness for others, but it can be confusing so I hope you aren't too hurt by others' well meaning responses.
Also it may help to know that sexuality isn't so cut and dried in the straight community either...I am a straight female but a psych test once stated that I am a "male-identified" female; we are all just on a spectrum

Well no one is 100% str8 or 100% gay. But this is not about sex as this thread is geared towards sexual preference or orientation. There are only 2 sexes. But many preferences or identities. IMHO none of that actually changes the sex. There are only two sexes regardless how we feel about what we are. I can easily identify myself as a male, even tho at times I may experience the feminine side of me. We all have that one way or another. I think being unable to identify gender is a disorder. I admit that is my opinion. Juts like every other post in this thread.
For example: what if I identified myself as nether male or female but instead a transformer. Does my perception actually change anything? I can call myself a transformer, act like a transformer but in reality I will be either male or female by sex and identify more to one sex then another or alternate. How I identify myself is actually irrelevant in the real world or as how others perceive me is equally irrelevant. There is only two possibilities and various variations of those two possibilities.
But perception is reality! And just as people with alters with split personalities believe there are many inside them, every one has their own perception. We can not actually equate by every one's perception, we do need absolute values to measure and vary by. And that is based on science. Not personal perception.
