The really appalling thought here is that somebody is trying to tell me how
I think.

I, for one, have thoroughly examined my consciousness and find absolutely
no desire to possess a female body.  The man body I have is absolutely
fine, thank you.

If you mean "be a female" in any other sense than that of having a body, I
strongly you go see the movie "Tootsie".

Everybody has both sets of feelings which society has conveniently labeled
"masculine" and "feminine".  There is nothing wrong with a man wanting to
be warm and caring or even to be passive OR for a woman to want to be
domineering or agressive.

While I will grant you that SOME gay people may have these repressed
desires, there are about as many reasons for people being gay as there are
people.
