Honestly, the fact that sexuality and gender are a political issue at all seems really silly when you break it down. Just let people fuck who they wanna fuck (with consenting adults, of course) and do what they want with their own body. If body mods like piercings and tattoos were this heavily regulated pretty much everyone would think it's the dumbest shit ever. You can get a tattoo and a piercing on your dick but if you wanna remove your dick entirely it's for some reason wrong? A woman can get breast implants but if anyone else does that's also wrong for some reason?

Edit: Wording.

'Legally' isn't the best choice of words here, IMO. I'm not saying we should be allowed to fuck minors (ew) but that the legal system has been used to opress and punish queer people. In some jurisdictions, it is legal to kill gay people. So using legality as your baseline is a bad idea.

Morality is I think what you're getting at. But then you get into the weeds of subjective morality and that's a mess...

Yeah that's totally fair. I only added it as an after thought because I feel like not adding something like that would have been worse. Maybe just "consenting adults" instead of "legally."
