I am a gay man married to a transman.

The previous writers are correct: Sexual orientation and gender identity, while intricately intertwined, are distinct parts of an individual's identity.

Sexual orientation is about the gender of the person you are attracted to.

Gender identity is about the gender you claim for yourself.
