    On gender. A woman who is still male-bodied is still a woman. Therefore if she is attracted to women, she is gay.

    Me personally, I think it's wrong to go by how someone's physicality is, rather than how they present themselves. If someone presents to me as a woman, frankly I don't care if she has a penis. She is a woman. Same thing if it's a man who still has a vagina. He is a man.

    Mind you, there's a difference between someone in drag and someone whose internal gender really *does* differ from their physical sex. I'm talking about the latter.
