Would it be gay if...

There's a thought experiment out there called the Ship of Thesus. Basically, if the a particular ship were to be kept in a harbor and every part on the ship were replaced one at a time, would it then be a new ship?

My dilemma comes not from the aforementioned question, but the follow-up question: if all the removed pieces from the original ship were to be reassembled to form a new ship, would that be the ship of Theseus?

Now that we've established the context, here's where my question lies: if were to molecularly rearrange a buff dude to become a voluptuous chick, would it be gay to date her?

You're essentially going out with a woman whose every part of her belongs to a guy. The organism may take shape of a lady, and may perform functions specific to that sex, but the fact of the matter remains that said organism is simply molecularly rearranged from that of someone with swinging cock and balls, just that those cells moved up to her C-cup tiddies instead.

If it IS gay, then what says about the rest of us? Are we susceptible to hold a 50% risk of gay, since at a physically hypothetical level, we could all be chicks and dudes at the same time? Call it Schroedinger's Homosexuality, if so.

But once the buff dude was molecularly rearranged into a voluptuous chick, they would now physically and genetically be female.

If you use sortal identity instead of identity based on component, then it's never gay for a dude to pound of a voluptuous chick, no matter the history of the atoms that make up her cells.

After breathing for a few seconds, some of her molecules would be replaced, so there's no way to preserve 100% of the guy's molecules anyway. Humans and other living things are constantly changing. We're drinking water that the dinosaurs drank, so we can't claim to be separate from the rest of the great Tree of Life. You might as well ask if you're into bestiality because a few molecules of water in your lover's body used to be inside a donkey.
