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.

Famous quotes containing the words orientation and/or distribution:
“Institutions of higher education in the United States are products of Western society in which masculine values like an orientation toward achievement and objectivity are valued over cooperation, connectedness and subjectivity.”
—Yolanda Moses (b. 1946)
“The man who pretends that the distribution of income in this country reflects the distribution of ability or character is an ignoramus. The man who says that it could by any possible political device be made to do so is an unpractical visionary. But the man who says that it ought to do so is something worse than an ignoramous and more disastrous than a visionary: he is, in the profoundest Scriptural sense of the word, a fool.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
