I am unable to vote because I am a woman trapped inside a man's body.
I demand that you modify the poll so as to remedy this gross and unjustifiable derogation from my right to vote in general and periodic elections, as well as my right to be free from discrimination on the basis of gender or sexual orientation. Failure to do so within a reasonable time may well result in my submitting a formal complaint to the UN for your breach of my fundamental human rights as protected in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. I suggest that the best way for you to satisfy my demand would be to add a fourth category of "transgender" for people in my position.
Is what I would have said if I were interesting. I am, however, boring and therefore straight.
Actually, transgender or no, you'd have said that and been branded an idiot. Whether or not a person is transgendered has nothing to do with their sexual orientation. So many people have this bizarre thought process that if a man wants to become a woman, it's really because he's gay and wants to have sex with men and just can't come to terms with it. Like being transgendered is supposed to be easier than being gay or something.
If you were a male to female transgendered person who liked women, you would end up a lesbian. Likewise if that person liked men, they'd be straight! There is no special category of sexual orientation for trans folks, nor should there be.
You might want to learn a little more about the subject before you try and make jokes.
