How is the whole transexual thing easier to understand? The way I can describe being gay is simple being attracted to men and and not women. I'm not attracted to women just like a straight guy isn't attracted to men. No mental gymnastics like the trannies.

Oh I agree, fellow gay. But it's in the eyes of the straight mainstream. I meant not that trannies don't do mental gymnastics- but look at the reasonably common stereotype that gays are feminine and somehow have female traits. As if we're halfway to trannies anyway. A lot of people cannot conceive of you just being a dude who fucks dudes, they'll ascribe some sort of female social role onto that, regardless of whether it's the case. The conventions are strong. How many times have you heard, "who's the woman in the relationship"? As if it works like that, but it's how most people see the world.
