I have always thought that it was silly to say that this one thing or that
other thing is part of man's nature.  Man is a sexual being I don't think that
you can categorize it one way or another biologically, heterosexual, trans
gender, homosexual are all concepts or categories that our society has decided
to place on the world in order to simplify it with the goal to make it more
intelligible.  However, concepts like these only serve to repress man and keep
him weak.  I think that no distinction should be made, man is sexual and that
is all.

As Nietzsche would say man should be compared to man in terms of the will to
power and these sexual categories that man has created have nothing to do with
the Will to Power.  It is about how much life you can experienced once freed
from a reified self, not how much you can cower within a category.
