This statement is non sequitur; if you are sexually attracted to both men and women, then you are bisexual, not "gay" in the common sense of the word.
Side note - are you only "gay" if you are on the bottom? Or what if you are man that likes oral only from a TS, are you "half gay"? How does that definition work? *smiles*

Heterosexual = Opposite sex attraction only
Homosexual = Same sex attraction only
Bisexual = Attracted to both sexes.
None of these definitions really fits men who like women and transexuals. I think some people are annoyed by the fact that men who like women and transexuals insist that they are not attracted to men and are therefore not gay or bisexual.
TS providers will tell you that their clients are straight men and so called "bi-curious" men. Real honest to god gay men don't frequent TS providers; they want a "real man".
There used to be a stand up comedian named Rich Hall who coined a word: sniglet. A sniglet is a thing for which there is no word. There is no word for men who like women and transexuals. People think something can't be real if it doesn't have a name.
Freud said that everyone is born sexually polymorphous (many forms) and is shaped into a particular orientation by their environment. I think there is probably some truth to his idea.
