awesome pic. Only thing I disagree with is the term “want” in the description of gender. Gender is hardcoded into the brain just as much as sex is hardcoded into your physiology. You can’t grow a vagina just because you “want” to be female. Mental gender is no different. There’s no “want” about it.
Don’t get it? Google sexual dimorphism of the human brain. A “male” brain doesn’t necessarily go with a “male” sex.

And here I was thinking that I made a conscious decision to love boobs based on loving conformity to almighty God’s will . . .
In all seriousness, though, looking at it in such a reverse fashion does make a lot of the homophobic viewpoints of “the right” look more than a little stupid. I’ve been instinctively seeking out exclusive partnerships with females since I grasped the concept of social interaction as a toddler; far longer than I’ve known what a “girlfriend” was, never mind the purpose of such a relationship.
Knowing that I’ve known what I was wired for since before even my first day of school, I find it absolutely ridiculous, offensive, and downright moronic when people treat (for instance) homosexuals with attitudes such as, “Well, when did you realize you were gay?” and “Why do you choose this lifestyle?”
“I chose this lifestyle the same way I chose my skin color, blood type, and the number of toes I have. Don’t you remember filling out that form? Moron?”

I understand this concept, but I don’t understand the difference between gay and queer.

Gay just means homosexual. Queer is used as a pejorative synonym for gay by homophobes. But some actual gay people use it as a political statement. Its a bit more confrontational as a word than gay. Some gay people also use the word to “take it back”.
There’s also Gender-Queer which is the “fuck you, none of the above” answer to gender
