People Magazine article makes it sound like there's a difference. Do they mean a gay person is someone who is say, female, who wants to be female and feels female, but is attracted also to women and that a transgendered person is someone who is say physically female but mentally thinks/feels like a man inside and wishes to be a man or thinks they are a man and is attracted to women? Except, it's confusing because there are many who call themselves "gay" who seem to be more like, for example, a woman who is more masculine than feminine and the woman they are with is more feminine. Ellen Degeneres is the only example I can think of -- she seems more "manly"/less feminine to me, but her partner seems feminine. So I guess that's where I feel confusion about gay vs. transgendered. Many gay couples that I know of, it seems like one of them is more like a man and the other is more like a woman (but both are same sex). How does that fit in with gay vs. transgendered? Thanks for any help.
