"I don't think being a lesbian or a gay man is a choice like what washing powder to use or what you fancy for your lunch, I do think however that is has to be either that you're born a lesbian or a gay man, a gay person, or that you learn it through socialisation, I don't think it can be anywhere in the middle."
So either you're born as a male-in-a-female body (or vice versa) or you learn it through socialisation. Where is the social pressure to conform to the opposite sex (especially for m-to-fs?) Surely if this were the case we'd have a society made up almost entirely of f-to-m transsexuals, we'd be complaining about Julian Bindel and he'd be seeking talking therapies for being a self-hating transsexual.
