Summary Intersex challenges the binary notion of only two sexes. Transgender challenges the binary notion of masculinity(men only) and femininity(women only). Bisexuality challenges of only two sexual orientations. Anal sex challenges the binary notion of the “apparent norm – penile-vaginal sex only”.

In conclusion People may or may not express their sexual orientation / identity in their behaviors, sexually or otherwise. YOU CAN NEVER ASSUME ANOTHER PERSON’S SEXUAL ORIENTATION Some people may regularly have sex with others of the same sex, without seeing themselves as lesbian or gay or bisexual (whether due to cultural, religious or personal reasons). Gender identity / presentation has got nothing to do with being lesbian or gay. Most lesbian women consider themselves as women and similarly, most gay men consider themselves to be men.

Conclusion cont. Being transsexual has got nothing to do with being lesbian or gay. Transsexual people can be heterosexual, lesbian, gay or bisexual. Being transvestite has got nothing to do with sexual orientation. Transvestites can be heterosexual, gay or bisexual. Intersex is a biological variant and NOT a sexual orientation, nor does it refer to sexual behavior.

Parting words….. Having a penis, does not make you a man, having breasts do not make you a mother, a man having sex with another man is not necessarily gay and being heterosexual does not make you “normal”. Our language is too limited to fully describe a human beings’ sexuality and sexual expression. Makes you think… doesn’t it?
