These are the actual 'homosexuals' ... those who are feminine gendered males. The masculine gendered males are 'men' or 'straight males' whether or not they like women, or whether or not they like men.

Yet, grouping and labelling can be useful if (a) they are well intentioned, and (2) if they are based upon natural human distinctions. Neither of the above are true in the case of 'sexual orientation.'

What I'm proposing is to view male gender and sexuality in the way its always been viewed in the society before the concept of 'homosexuality' (and later 'heterosexuality' and 'sexual orientation' itself) was invented in the West. This is exactly the way male gender and sexuality is still being viewed in the entire non-Western world.
I'll elaborate on it soon, after the initial excitement over this dies down.
