Explanation of Question: A guy who likes guys really wants to be a woman or feels like a woman inside (a heterosexual woman, mind you). Since the gay guy cannot achieve heterosexuality as his anatomical sex, he compensates for it by taking on female qualities, feminine traits and characteristics, and effeminate behavior as a way to get closer to being heterosexual and becoming a heterosexual woman that he feels that he is. Do gaypeople really want to be heterosexual as the other sex? Do gaypeople really want to be the other sex? If not, why do they want to resemble the other sex just because they have an attraction to the same sex as they anatomically are? Do they want to get closer to heterosexuality? Do gaypeople want to get closer to normal that way by imitating the opposite gender?

Are gaypeople trying to escape their own depressing reality of their true sex? Are gaypeople simply escapists trying to delude themselves into thinking that, if they can only pretend to be the opposite sex, they’ll fit in with the rest of the vast heterosexual population and not be so different, and it’ll be as if they were never really their true, anatomical sex? Do gaypeople feel as if their true sex doesn’t match the sex to which they are attracted?
If this is the case, why won’t far more gaypeople become post-op transsexuals and get the gender reassignment surgery to fit in more with society since most gaypeople are behaving like the opposite gender anyway?
This observation could be a applied to straight people as well.
If a straight person mimics the behavior of the opposite gender, and the behavior has become ingrained into his or her personality, should they get a sex change as well, maybe as a way to identify himself or herself as homosexual?

Is homosexuality the ultimate taboo?
Yes. It is a growing epidemic that should be a global crime, especially in the U.S. Our American culture is increasingly becoming oversexed and feminized. We are practically lisping at the mouth for more corruption and perversion.

Wow - did you dig up a sexology text from the twenties or something? Inversion? Seriously?

Sounds like you are the one who is depressed, angry and frustrated because you are powerless to control the behavior of gay people.
I don't think you have a clue about what you are talking about. Not all gay men want to be or feel like they are a woman and not all gay women want to be or feel like they are men.
Sexual reassignment surgery for gays is not the solution to your problem with them.
Perhaps you should go rant on your 360 page or some other blog.

Themo, homosexuality (or bisexuality too) is not a question of gender, as you are theorizing here. It is a question of sexual orientation -- who one finds sexually appealing. Gender and sexual orientation are two separate things.
"Sexual invert" is a old term that most social scientists or clinicians don't even use anymore.
Here are some definitions for you:
Male homosexual - a male who is sexually attracted to other males
Lesbian - a female homosexual who is sexually attracted to other females
Bisexual Male - a male who is attracted (at some level) to both men and women
Bisexual Female - a female who is attracted (at some level) to both men and women
Heterosexual Male - a male who is sexually attracted to females
Heterosexual Female - a female who is sexually attracted to males
Sexual orientation has to do primarily with who (or what) the desired sexual object is.

you're confusing being homosexual with someone who is transgendered or transsexual. and, using generalizing stereotypes to qualify your question. "effeminate" gay men or "masculine" lesbians, while they exist, are in the minority. people who don't know gays or lesbians and rely on stereotypes they've seen on TV and in movies, tend to believe that's how we all are. most of us don't look any different than any straight person. I may have short hair, but not particularly "butch." my partner is very feminine. The majority of my gay male friends are not at all effeminate. And very few of my lesbian friends are "butch."
you need to do some research here. starting out with looking up the definitions of homosexual and transsexual/transgendered.

I am a gay male. I do not look like a woman, act like a woman or want to be a woman. I love being a man.

well society creates this role for people and if they're not a certain way then people consider it wrong. The gay people I know seem to be really comfortable with themselves and don't care what people think about them. The fact that you're questioning this has you intrigued by their behavior.
hmmmm is it dark in that closet?
also looking through your past answers says allot about you.almost every question you answered was about gay people.

I'm a lesbian.. and i would never give up being a girl and would never want to be a man, sex between two women is beautiful and being female makes me appreciate the female body so much more

Bizzare question. However you didn't consider the fact that there are plenty of men out there who do not receive ("tops", playing the boy if u like, as opposed to "bottoms"). They just happen to like fu cking men.
Also there are plenty of women (most lesbians in fact) out there who like fu cking women but don't take on a "male" role.
Most gay people don't have gender identity issues, they're just gay.

I've noticed that, too. I think that it's due to heterosexual dominance in culture. Gaypeople must not feel right within themselves, so they try as hard as they can to go toward heterosexuality and heteronormativity by overexaggerating the traditional sense of what it means to be the opposite sex. Gaypeople know that they are not supposed to have sex with the same gender, so they lie to themselves by acting like the other sex, which they know that they are not. Gaypeople know deep in their hearts that there is something wrong with them and that they'll never be normal ever again. So, they hide away, and they run, not coming to grips with their demon.They let the heterosexual demon of the opposite sex take over inside of them. They have been corrupted. Nothing seems to match anymore. Then, gaypeople go haywire and begin to malfunction. They commit heinous, inhumane, and unnatural acts. Gaypeople are afraid of truth, honesty, realness, and reality. They are still stuck back in their childhoods, playing pretend. Only this time, they have turned it into a sickness, a mental disease, if you will. Gaypeople want to turn normal Christian heterosexuality into a perversion by doing what they are doing. Grow up, gay people, grow up, and live in the real world with the rest of us sane folks. It makes you ponder: why aren't gaypeople mentally institutionalized and certifiable?
