Quote"sexuality is a socially constructed reality and gender is something that is fluid rather than fixed"
Is this truly the position of "radical feminists" or is it a misinterpretation by the folks at LaHaye? In either case, not sure I agree with that statement (or else I have terms confused...easy enough to do)
I understand sexuality to be your sexual preferrence - Hetero, Bi or Homo, and gender to be Male, Female, or Androgyne (some place in between-not necessarily equal parts, or neither).
Seems to me, whatever your gender, you are either sexually attracted to men, women, both or neither. I don't believe this changes although you may learn to appreciate (and participate in "relations" with) others sexes.
I also don't believe your gender changes. You are what you are, regardless of the body in which you were born. If your gender is female, and you are attracted to men, you are Hetero. If your gender is female and you are attracted to women, you are Homo. If you are an Androgyne, and you are attracted to women and other Androgynes, I guess that makes you Bi?
I have read comments here from some MtoF's that later in transistion, they begin to start thinking differently about men, so I may be wrong in my belief that sexuallity doesn't change. I would submit that, possibly, it doesn't change unless something happens to alter the normal course of hormones (HRT, castration, hysterectomy).
In any case, I think that the folks at LaHaye, while honestly meaning well, may be a little politically or fundingly motivated, and are playing to the uninformed masses. Hopefully they aren't the bigots their statements seem to imply.
