what makes a person gay?

[TsVanessa69]

AGREED, Vanessa.

I live the life of a normal woman.
I may escort or whatever as a source of income.
Yes I cash in on the label society put on me every chance i get.
BUT at the end of the day, I go back to my real life and my people are straight guys and such.
I don't hang with gays or that whole bullshit lifestyle. I have even had to put a curb on those transexuals who think they rule the world with their faggorty and mess.
I am Puerto Rican and a woman.
MY people respect me as such.
If I liked females or other transexuals I would be gay, but I only like men.
So a woman who likes men is straight correct?

what makes a person gay?interesting question.its comes down to,its all a question of definition.a question of how you define gender.when you are sexually attracted to the same gender you are gay or bi.but what is gender?you can define gender in different ways.
genetical definition:
XX chromosomes=female
XY chromosomes=male
physical definiton:
a person with a penis=man
a person with a vagina=female
psychological definition:
a person which feels psychological to be a female is female.
a person which feels psychological to be a male is male.



examples:

genetical definition:a man is attracted to a person which has from birth a vagina,defines herself as a woman but is genetically male.(being genetically male but physical female from birth on is really possible)
by this definition this man would be gay.
2nd example:a man is attracted to a m2f transsexual(it doesnt matter what is between the person legs)which has a female(i let it up to you to define what female is,it would leed to far in this discussion)look.
by this defintion the man is gay.

physical definition:a man is attracted to a person which has from birth a vagina,defines herself as a woman but is genetically male.
by this defintion he would be straight.
2nd example:a man is attracted to a non op m2f transsexual.when you would see this person on the street you would say its a woman.
by this definition this man is gay.
3rd example:a man is attracted to a post op m2f transsexual.when you would see this person on the street you would say its a woman.
by this definition this man is straight.
4th example:a man is attracted to a post op m2f transsexual.when you would see this person on the street you would say its a man.
what is this man by this definition?straight or gay?

psychological definition:a man is attracted to a person which has from birth a vagina,defines herself as a man and is genetically male.
by this definition this man would be gay.
2nd example:a man is attracted to a m2f transsexual.this m2f transsexual looks physical like a man.when you would see this person on the street you would say thats a man.
by this definition this man would be straight.

3rd example:a man is attracted to a f2m transsexual.this f2m transsexual looks physical like a woman.when you would see this person on the street youz would say thats a woman.
by this definition this man would be gay.

depending on how you or other people define gender you see yourself or other people see you as straight or gay.

i consider ts's to be women. I even view their penises as a female body part.

[CORVETTEDUDE]

I'm thinkin' we have three sexes...because of Mother Nature's propensity to play tricks on the human race. There are women born as men and, vice versa. If a woman, tricked by nature has decided to live the life she knows herself to be, I believe she should be physically and morally accepted as such. That being said, I am of the opinion that sex with a transgendered lady is NOT homosexuality.

[hippifried]

This thread is so gay...

[south ov da border]

I don't personally think that there's anything that makes a person gay, if you're into the same sex, that's what it is. Personally I don't identify as straight or gay, I just like who I like...

a whole second half to that popped up that i didnt see before, sorry!

You are such an emormous twit. What if somebody gets a biology because they are simply interested in the subject matter and content... and don't give a shit about entry jobs or money?? Ever thought of that, ya schmuck? More-over, most Physicians get either a bio degree or pre-med degree before continuing onto medschool. A bio degree is a good foundation, so don't go around telling people its a useless degree. You're a real annoyance on this board.

Wow, thanks, El Nino.

Phobun, I'm not the most brilliant person on earth. I am hoping my biology major will help me get into Dental School.

It's very competitive to get into a dentistry program. So, I'm very happy El Nino emphasized that pursuing basic knowledge in the biological fields are not a waste of time.

How does one become a "gay" ?

... It's spread like the rage virus in "28 Days Later" only instead of becoming a rage zombie you become a fabulous fashionista.

Am i right?

You are indeed right, rockabilly. In fact they've already made a movie about it...

[El Nino]

LaCosa, I actually hold B.Sc. in biology myself... Got offerings into two medical schools by professors I worked with (UVM and Tufts). Didn't take them up on it... at that point I needed a break from schoolwork! Go to dental school, it's an attainable goal!
