As for a post op transgendered male who likes to sleep with women... is that transgendered individual a lesbian or a heterosexual? Good question. My first instinct is to say they are hetero.
Well, yes it is a bit off topic, but these are conversations rather than debates aren't they? Can't they evolve as normal convesations do?

But I gather from your points that the mere thought of relationships with same gender (eg, desire without acting on it) will define one as gay. I think that what I am striving to discover is if it is a purely physical act, versus an emotional commitment.
