gender roles are social constructs that change across cultures and time. The female/male biological sexes, except for genetic anomalies are identifiable at birth. But society shapes the roles of the genders. What one culture defines as the appropriate roles for men/women can be far different than another culture.
de Beauvoir was focused on how these roles can be oppressive to people. A man should be free to be a homemaker. A woman should be free to be a breadwinner.
The transgender movements took this concept and twisted it trying to pretend transgenderism is not a mental illness. They want biological males to be free to claim to be women and biological women claim to be men, not breaking out of socially constructed gender roles, but adopting the identity of another sex while conforming to existing societal gender roles for that sex.
The irony of this is if someone is a feminist, they can easily see the transgender movements as being anti-feminism because these transgender people are trying to conform to societal gender roles of the biological sex they wish to be (most often male to female trannies).
As for the rest. If a biological male claims to be a woman and wants to have sex with men, he is a homosexual. He is attracted to the same biological sex. If he wants women, he is a heterosexual. Same with women. If they claim to be a man attracted to women, they are homosexual. If they claim to be a man attracted to men, they are heterosexual.
