I seem to recall reading something from her website a few years ago confirming this observed trend: a higher percentage of transgendered individuals are gay as well (from the perspective of the target gender). I couldn't find the info on her site which she has redesigned since the last time I visited, but it may still be there. I know a few years back Ms. Stone was advocating very forcefully her right to participate in issues of lesbian and feminist studies, and addressing the resistence she often encountered from women who viewed her as an outsider and interloper.
