I'm not exactly sure, I understand, then, but I'll give another answer.
I'm a guy, and I find women attractive. Thus, I am considering whether I would date a male-to-female transgender person.
I could fall for a passable male-to-female transgender person.
I think I voted "Their gender identity would have to match my sexual orientation". If I'm attracted to women, then their gender identity would have to female, 'cause otherwise, I would be dating a guy.
I think I understood the other option, "Their gender identity would have to match my sexual orientation", as meaning that their "genital situation" would have to be female (in my case). That was then a mistake.
Not having had SRS does not mean that a transgender woman's body isn't female. Her body also depends on whether she's taken hormones or had other surgery.
When I write that I could fall for a transgender person, I am saying that her being transgender is not a deal breaker. Whether I would date her or fall for her, would depend on both her physical attractiveness and her personality. Her gender identity is important, since it makes her a her, and would be a big part of her personality.
If you dated a transgender person...

Yes, that was premise. The question is whether you would care more about their body or identity.
P.S. It looks like I just wiped out the votes by making an edit. Sorry, I didn't know that would happen. Please vote again.
