@nataliereed84 alright so I was asking@q0rt about what exactly constitutes a transgendered person but was lead here so I'm asking you// -
@OmarLasagna
@q0rt Transgeder = crosses outside of the behaviours and identities expected or associated with one's assigned sex / gender... -
@nataliereed84 so could one be transgendered and gay simultaneously? -
@OmarLasagna Yes, of course. A trans woman, for example, might be attracted to women, men, both, or lots of things.

@nataliereed84 ok, cool, now that I have a better understanding of that. My last question is what then is the difference between sex/gender? -
