Gender isn’t binary, so identity and orientation can conflict and match each other with plus/minus infinity combinations.

Do you mean sex drive or orientation? Source please if you mean anything other than drive.

Because gender does not equal sexual orientation, and vice versa.

Gender identity and sexual orientation are two different things.

Gender identity is your own, internal, personal sense of being a man or a woman (or as someone outside of that gender binary).

Sexual orientation describes a person's enduring physical, romantic, and/or emotional attraction to another person (for example: straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual).

Because he didn't feel like a female attracted to males. He feels like a male attracted to males.

Sounds like the teen is very confused as well.

How you feel as a person has nothing to do with sexual attraction.

I mean from female to male.

A friend teenager child transitioned recently from male to female. Now he identifies as a gay man because he is attracted to males. I am very confused. Why do the transition if he was biologically a female attracted to males?
