But lesbian => woman.

Yeah, umm, I dunno about that one.
A heterosexual male and a homosexual female, though they're both attracted to women, have different identities and generally different ways in how they do it. The 'genderqueer' part means not identifying within the gender binary.

I also identify as genderqueer on more of the masculine side, which makes things even more interesting.

Well he's currently female bodied if that makes it easier for you to think about.
Most transmen who're attracted to ladies prefer to think of themselves as straight, but because my guy just needs testosterone to stop himself from going crazy and is happy with most of his body otherwise, he's not too bothered about being labeled as straight. That's how I think it is anyway.

Female bodied, and happy to stick with it.
Into women and happy to call himself a lesbian.

This is all sound like a boring old regular lesbian.

Indeed.
Just requires T and prefers to go by male pronouns.

I don't care what pronouns people use for me, as long as I'm not "it". Though I think shim/zir are rather silly.

I'd gone all the way round the pronouns and achieved this conclusion
A hormonally-imbalanced lesbo

Basically, yes.
At one point because of his illness he tried some birthcontrol (Estrogen sort) to try to fix some of the problems. But that increased his suicidal feelings a fuck load. He really needs Testosterone. I've been researching the NHS about it, it's quite useful that we'll be living in London.

Anyone got any ideas for places other than IKEA to get good and cheap shelving from? I can assemble any furniture.
