    My thought process from the last few minutes:

    Is being gay purely physical? --> If a girl was in a guys body (transgender) could I be with them? --> emotionally? I guess --> but it's a woman!--> I don't like women! --> If a guy was in a girls body...it's a guy...just not physically--> I'm attracted to men though--> it makes me gay --> so being gay must just be physical --> but surely not because personality is super important --> If they're equally important...wouldn't that mean it wouldn't matter if they were trans, gay, lesbian, man, woman, fluid, pan, romantic, demi, vegetable or mineral?!-------------------------> STOP THINKING BRAIN YOU'RE GOING TO HURT YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    That was basically it, my brain was just like WTF? And I seriously made myself just stop thinking about it, why? Plain and simply, I just thought it wasn't worth thinking about!

    So the question stands! Do we over think things WAY to much?

    I think it's just human nature to overthink things until our brains start to hurt. With that being said, I do it 24/7.

    I don't think we as an lgbt group, but we as a species, certainly.

    Out of curiosity, what about transitioned trans guys? Not all trans people still have the wrong body.

    :/ Well maybe if this species stopped putting its brain capacity into entirely selfish thoughts we'd be getting somewhere.

    I have reservations that I don't entirely understand.

    Being gay means your attracted to the same "sex". You like a men, who likes men with men parts.

    Gender is more then that. WHO | What do we mean by "sex" and "gender"?

    Women menstruate while men do not
    Men have testicles while women do not
    Women have developed breasts that are usually capable of lactating, while men have not
    Men generally have more massive bones than women


    Transgender vs transsexual I think would be a personal decision if you can be with someone who is either.

    On this forum, I think we do.

    Some people should really try the 'play it by ear' approach and stop worrying about how to define themselves in the most precise of definitions (or desperately seeking to avoid being labelled altogether).

    I do not menstruate. I admittedly don't have testicles, but I might someday. I am soon going to have top surgery. I have male-massed bones.

    I think at the start we do , but then over time we finally get our emotions and thoughts wrapped.

    Like most LGBP people , because I am attracted to men I thought I must've been a woman trapped in a mans body. But over time I just knew that wasn't me , some people do make one of the ultimate life decisions in gender reassignment though and I say good on them for being who they want to be and not what anyone else wants them to be.

    I overthink things in general, and it probably has nothing to do with my LGBTQ status either.

    people in general over-think things way too much. you don't over-think things because you're LGBT. you probably just over-think DIFFERENT things way too much.

    People, in general, over-think sexuality.

    In my opinion, the LGBTQ community over-thinks labels.
