Most Buddhist scripture does not distinguish same-sex sexual activity from heterosexual activity, both being seen as non-conducive to spiritual growth.[47]
**** buddhisme then. I uste to think you were cool buddah, but if you're against sex, then **** you.
Paul wasn't big on sex either but he said it was better to marry than to burn. And so it goes.l found it interesting

In Thai Buddhism, being katoey (an umbrella term that roughly maps to a range of identities from MtF transsexuality to male homosexuality) is seen as being part of one's karma if it should be the case for a person. The response is one of "pity" rather than "blame". Katoey are generally seen as not likely to form lasting relationships with men, and the lay explanation of their karma is that they are working out debts from adulterous behavior in past lives. In the past they disrupted marriages, and now they are doomed to never marry.[48]
In Thailand, katoey were not allowed to legally become female or marry, until 2007 (following the 2006 Thai coup d'état) when the laws were changed and post-op katoey were allowed to change their legal gender. In practice, prior to this, katoey could and somewhat frequently did marry Europeans and leave Thailand.
In Theravada Buddhism monks take vows of celibacy, and self-control over sexual impulses is idealized as part of the path to Nirvanna. In the 1980s, in response to growing awareness of the AIDS crisis, some Buddhist writers drew on Buddhist teachings to argue that homosexual behavior was unnatural and unethical and demonstrated a lack of self-control. However, other Buddhist scholars have argued that karmic debt only accumulates around heterosexual immorality when patriarchal notions of male ownership of female sexuality are disrupted (for example, pre-marital sex is "theft of virginity" by a man from the woman's father). According to this view, the difficulties and pain of gender variant lives are part of how this debt is paid off in subsequent lives and as such it incurs no additional karmic debt.[49]

Some denominations aren't. The idea being that an enlightened person could engage in any type of activity, as long as he didn't depend on it to create a false sense of self.

After ecstasy, the laundry.As I Zen Buddhist, I have to say I have never read anything about Buddhism and transgender issues. That's not to say that the issue isn't discussed. It's just not a hot topic. I would think most traditions are not concerned with transgender one way or the other. My Zen perspective is that you should have sex only with someone you love and that your sexual union hurts no one.
At the same time Lizzie is correct in that sex like chocolate or listening to good music or sleeping late is most pleasurable and is something we can easily become attached to. None are good or bad in and of themselves.

As a Buddhist you must have been taught that your re-incarnation has no sexuality..And you can change from man/woman/animal..

I have found there to be a pretty wide chasm between "western" and "eastern" buddhism. With the later being like any religion within a culture, and the former amounting to this weird form of spiritual justification and indulgence for rich westerners
go home molten, you're drunk.
That would be an uninformed opinion.
