Confusion about Sexual Orientation versus Sexual Identity!

The Gendercator has sparked debate across the country for its take on gender identity, including the premise that some butch lesbians might be pressured to become transmen in a right-wing future with room for only two genders.

WHAT CAN SCIENCE TELL US`ABOUT THIS CONTROVERSY?
And why do we assume that the lesbian would be "butch" in order to be a viable candidate for transmaleness? Does this attitude reflect the biblical binary system of sexuality? Whoa! Lesbians making assumptions based on the goofy Adam & Eve story? Lesbians should know better!

Sexual identity and sexual orientation are very different aspects of sexuality, and the scientific evidence supports the idea that both are innate. Click on my proposed "SexualityModel" at http://science.meetup.com/77/files/. I welcome questions and feedback.
