Do lesbians and gay men want to be the opposite sex?
Lesbians and gay men do not want to be the opposite sex. Within the gay community, there are many people who have challenged and discarded stereotypical gender roles but that does not mean they are trying to be the other sex. Being gay, lesbian or bisexual involves celebration and affirmation of one’s sex, not a rejection of it. Some people confuse gayness with transsexuality.
