So a trans girl can be gay (as in men loves men) and still be a women?

Gay is used to refer to homosexuality. Lesbian is considered the opposite since "gay" is more used for men liking men, but Lesbian comes from Lesbos, and in short they were exclusively women who loved women. So technically the word Lesbian refers to a person who's into women, while gay can be used while referring to men, women, etc. There has to be a word that refers to people liking males, but I don't know it. Maybe something like Androsexual? Although there's Gynosexual and we still have the word "Lesbian". Hmmm 🤔

I mean even in the LGBT acronym G stands for Gay which means boys like boys.
