Sexual Orientation Distribution
One study published in 1977 suggests that transgender people have more heterosexual than homosexual experiences. Another study published in 1976 found an almost equal distribution of transsexuals between three distinct categories: homosexual, asexual, and heterosexual. However, this study only assessed 42 male-to-female transsexual people who had undergone gender reassignment surgery and does not address bisexuality. Furthermore, these categories have been rejected by many transsexual people as pejorative.

“My topic for Army reunions ... this summer: How to prepare for war in time of peace. Not by fortifications, by navies, or by standing armies. But by policies which will add to the happiness and the comfort of all our people and which will tend to the distribution of intelligence [and] wealth equally among all. Our strength is a contented and intelligent community.”
