I refer to your article in which you highlighted the issue of equal treatment for homosexuals and transsexuals.

I think that homosexuals and transsexuals did not 'choose' to be that way. If you go back to the time when these individuals were struggling with their identity, if there really was a choice, the homosexuals would have chosen to be heterosexuals and the transsexuals would have chosen to identify with the gender of their genetically-determined sex.

A more accurate word would be 'sexual orientation'. Preference implies choice. If they could really choose a lifestyle as a heterosexual or non-transsexual and still feel true to themselves, then there is no reason to go down the other path which inevitably causes one to face discrimination in most countries, not to mention it being downright illegal in some.
