... These definitions of male and female do not include childfree people. If sex is defined as reproduction, or the capability to reproduce, are childfree people sexless?

Are they not male or female?

What about gay people and lesbians? If someone has gay sex, are they disordered? Bodies are meant for being attracted to the opposite sex, and doing things with the opposite sex, are gay people disordered? Is gay sex a disorder?

The questions about persons who don't have children have been answered already. What I want to bring up is your homophobia.

First of all, you seem unaware that both lesbians and gay men can, and often do, have children.

Second, no one here would say gay sex is a disorder. Just like we would not say this of het sex that doesn't involve PIV, or of het PIV sex in which contraception is used. Not all sex acts do, or must, lead to reproduction or involve the possibility of procreation.

Third, pretty much every human being regardless of sexual orientation masturbates. Under no circumstance can masturbation ever lead to reproduction. But it's often the first kind of sex that many people, and for a good number of people who have sex with others in their lives, masturbation still will be the one kind of sex they have the most over the course of their lives by far.
