I grew up in NZ so yeah I did think that before I understood that male/female are biological categories and that man/woman are social categories that change over time and vary between cultures and also that gender identity is relevant to how we define these social categories.

If it makes the homo community feel better, can't we just say it's OK to be a homo and wear a dress? Do we really need to add "and science proves that you're perfectly normal because look at this mutation"?

'Making assumptions' and 'it's pretty obvious' aside; I've not come across any evidence that most transgender people are attracted to the same sex. I have in this thread came across claims that some lesbians feel pressured by some transwomen to date them.
