Your gender is not related to your sexual orientation.

no but the way we talk about it is. we typically use vocabulary to describe orientation that is relative to gender identity. that is, a person who is attracted to men is gay if they identify as a man or straight if they identify as a woman.

that said, "transgender lesbian" shouldn't be too hard to parse unless you've been living under a rock for the last fifteen years.
