Aside from the fact that most people are somewhere on the scale of bisexuality, with only a purported 10% at either end who are entirely hetero or homosexual, what does this have to do with anything? In general, males and females are attracted to each other because that's how we reproduce. We've already been over this and your theory is essentially useless for proving your point. Homosexuals are only about 7% of the population and homosexuality exists in other animals as well. It's irrelevant to your point if it doesn't flat-out negate it. If males and females are natural complements who somehow need each other to be whole, why do some people shun this seemingly vital aspect of humanity?
In gorillas, males are typically about 50% larger than females, but in humans, it's only about 15% and there are in fact, about 11% of women who are larger than the average male. Why is that? I don't know, go ask God.
I've never once said that humans are androgynous or that they should be. I am very, very, clear that I am a woman. I believe that trans-people know who they are. But there is very literally no scientific indication that other than one tiny part of male brains that controls the penis, that there is any discernable difference between the abilities and proclivities of male and female brains. Could there be something like a male or female essence? I guess so.... after all, trans people know whether or not they are in the wrong body, but that has no bearing on what people are capable of or adept at. It serves no purpose other than discrimination to continue to harp on inherent male and female differences, particularly when those vary so much around the world, and even in the animal kingdom.
"But also, within some species—including our own, as this chapter fleshes out some more—neither sex has the monopoly on characteristics like competitiveness, promiscuity, choosiness, and parental care. The particular pattern, as we saw, depends on the animal’s ecological, material, and social situation. This suggests that, even within a particular species, the effect of the genetic and hormonal facets of sex on brain and behavior must not inflexibly inscribe or “hardwire” particular behavioral profiles or predispositions into the brain; not even those more common in one sex than the other. Instead, they are drawn out to a greater or lesser degree, as circumstances dictate."

A good example of how circumstances can influence behavior is the story of the Night Witches. During WWII thousands of young Russian women in their late teens and early 20s signed up to be in a special all-female regiment that flew low-altitude bombing sorties at the Germans. They had abbreviated training, open cockpit planes made of plywood that had previously been used for crop-dusting, no radios or built-in instrument panels, no radar, no parachutes, no nothing but ill fitting men's uniforms and boots, and hand-held navigation tools, plus a pistol for if they got shot down. A large percentage of the women who volunteered did not actually serve, but three regiments worth did. They could only carry two bombs at a time so they flew up to 100 sorties per night, sometimes in freezing conditions. The Nazis were so terrified of them, that if anyone shot down one of their planes, they immediately earned the Iron Cross.
In addition, between 1974 and 1980, about 2,400 women were hired as coal miners in the Eastern US, and another 500 or so in the rest of the country. Up until that time, women were essentially prohibited from working in coal mines. It took Federal legislation to end those prohibitions.
In 1981 the Coal Employment Project conducted a survey to learn about sexual harassment in coal mines, and found widespread and serious concerns related to both harassment and discrimination in the industry: 17 percent of respondents said they had been physically attacked on the job, 36 percent felt they were given harder, more dangerous, or less rewarding jobs than their male co-workers, and 66 percent of the women reported being propositioned by a co-worker.
As more opportunities became available, the number of women coal miners increased from zero in 1973 to 33,730 in 1983 when women made up 8.6 percent of the mining workforce.

We have archeological evidence of female warriors and female big game hunters from thousands and thousands of years ago. The most successful pirate ever was a woman. So how does this speak to "female nature" ? The Japanese have a long and much-beloved history of female warriors.
When 1,400 brain scans from four different sources were evaluated and ranked on various "sex differences" by researchers from the Max Planck Institute and the University of Zurich they found that 1 in 5 women were more "male like" than the average man.
This is a very complex topic that people like to pretend is simple and cut and dried, but it isn't.
