i have opened up about my sexuality to some people that i feel comfortable enough with and they automatically assume that i want to be a girl. i mean just because i like men doesnt make me into a girl, if so, every other "straight" guy out there who ever had a man crush would be girls by now. i mean seriously!
considering that the stereotypical version of a gay man here in the philippines is someone who dresses and acts like a woman it shouldn't really suprise me, but could at least the people intelligent enough know there is a difference.
here's what:
a person who likes the same sex -Gay
a person who enjoys wearing clothes of the opposite sex - cross dresser
a person who wants to be the opposite sex they were born as- transsexual
a person who had undergone a sexual reassignment surgery- transvestite
therefore a person can be all of the above at one point or another but that doesnt mean those terms are interchangeable. personally I like my penis, so stop assuming that i want to be a girl just because i say im gay
a little fun fact though: when i opened up i said i was Bi and they still assumed i wanted to be a girl. something is seriously wrong with the perception of people in this country.
(if i had defined something wrongly please tell me. if you dont know what some words mean like "man crush"i suggest looking it up because unless im in the explaining mood when i write then thats that.
