    I have no real attraction to other men but I feel overwhelmingly that I am a woman and should have been born a woman. I don't really know what I am. Am I gay?

    hello there! (*hug*)

    gender identity and sexual orientation are not the same thing

    if you think you should have been born as a woman, you are transgender, and you would be gay (or lesbian, in this case) if you consider yourself as a woman and are attracted to other women (trans or not), and you would be straight if you liked men

    this image should clarify things a bit: http://itspronouncedmetrosexual.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/1600-Genderbread-Person.jpg
