I was born male, as there are only two genders, what is gay and how could you be born that?

Gay means Happy. Gay is a beautiful word and was stolen by people who prefer the same sex as themselves.

 If you're gay you wouldn't have a gf.

 

That's not true. I'm gay and have a girlfriend because I also identify as female.

I'm gay and I came out in 2008. At the time, I had an uncle who was a biker (and a few friends with similar family ties), and I have to admit, I was terrified at the idea of coming out.
 

But my uncle said something that day that I’ll never forget (and that actually earned him a slap from my aunt):
 

He said, “Look, if you’re gay, I don’t give a <deleted>—as long as you’re happy, that’s what matters. Actually, it’s even better—means more women for me. By the way, aren’t you guys known for having tons of female friends? Introduce me to some, would you?” 
 

I’ll always remember that moment because, honestly, it made total sense. If you’re straight, why wouldn’t you be glad someone else is gay? That’s less competition!
 

Nowadays though, I couldn’t care less what people think. I do my thing, others do theirs, and that’s that.
 

But I’ll tell you what, when I see these so-called “alpha” straight men constantly obsessing over where other men put their dicks, always criticizing what another man does in his own bed... my gaydar starts blaring like a damn alarm.

So you are lesbian ?  Rather confusing.

I'm a woman trapped in a man's body, that is gay, so have a girlfriend.

Ok so you went full 360 and became a man that loved a woman

Are you one of those toilet licking whipping boys are you ?

No idea what that means. But assume you can provide photos of yourself involved in such to provide a better understanding.

Tottaly agree. How did anyone manage to so grossly misinterpret the meaning of my OP? Bunch of ninnies I guess.

Gay was originally used as a term for immoral straights.

A bit of history for you.

 

"The word may have started to acquire associations of sexual immorality as early as the 14th century, but had certainly acquired them by the 17th. By the late 17th century, it had acquired the specific meaning of "addicted to pleasures and dissipations", an extension of its primary meaning of "carefree" implying "uninhibited by moral constraints". A gay woman was a prostitute, a gay man a womanizer, and a gay house a brothel."

It's usage declined but was retained by the LGBT+ community as an umbrella term for same-sex attraction.

I don't know why people get their knickers in a twist on this topic.

 

Research shows there are gay populations in about 1500 animal species, no reason to suppose homo sapiens should be any different.
