A lot of people feel that way, so you're not alone in that.
Whatever you choose to do I wish you the best of luck.

Though... Now I think I should be sharing a bit on Gender/Sex terms I learned in my time in an LGBT group.
Note: Not trying to label anyone or tell them what they should be, just felt the need to inform people in the lingo since it didn't look like anyone here knew it yet.

Gender = Mental/Personal Identification
Sex = Biological State

So say in TheFlyingScotsman's case, her Sex would be male, but her Gender would be female. The sex being changed to female once any transsexual surgery/operation takes place, but at the moment this is a case of being Transgendered, which would change to Transsexual after said operation.

As for the Gay Man vs Straight Woman analogy?
This is a bit tricky even among LGBT communities, often times the mindset anyways though is just be who you are so I don't think which way you go here really matters either. 
But I'm pretty sure your sexuality is determined by your sex at the time.

This is the Guild Forums.

If someone did start speaking up against LGBT the rest of the site would pounce on them and tear them a new one.
