Doesn't just being gay make you "alternative?"

I'm not so sure. There's just so many variations in human sexulity. I see everyone as swimming around in one big melting pot of variables. I recently met a FTM named Jay. I recognized immediately that "he" was either a really cute, boyish lesbian, or a person who identified as a Female-to-Male. Jay turned out to be the latter. He was really cool and fun to hang with. I had no problem accepting and thinking of Jay as a male. It was a good experiance.
