Subject: Contradictions

Just something for you all to ponder.

I watched the videos that Davina posted and a couple of extras and one thing that stood out is the concern amongst heterosexual women that they would be considered a lesbian if they found their husband sexually attractive dressed as a woman. Logically this says that they consider them to be a woman as being a lesbian is sexual attraction between the same sex.

To contradict this if a heterosexual male finds a crossdresser attractive then he would be considered gay or bi-sexual as he is attracted to a man in a dress.

If one instance it appears that gender presentation and not biological sex that determines the sexual orientation and in the other situation it is biological sex and not gender presentation.

This is when biological sex and gender become really confusing. Biological sex is relatively easy to determine on a naked human being - a quick glance in the right area is all that is really needed! Gender on the other hand is hard to determine on a naked human being as it really needs markers such as clothing to give an indication.

So is it gender expression or sex that determines homosexuality or is it either?

Does that make a crossdressed man who fancies women a lesbian (as Eddie Izzard once said) or is he a straight lesbian! Is a woman who fancies a man crossdressed a lesbian until the point he removes any evidence that the gender he is expressing is female, at which point she become straight? Likewise is straight man who is sexually attracted to a crossdresser straight until the point that the crossdresser is no longer presenting as a woman or at the point the straight man discovers the crossdresser is really a man?

There are just so many permutations and degrees it becomes impossible.

One to under anyway and I should imagine a real 'head spin' for Sindy lol.
