So a bisexual like yourself is attracted to Men and Women whereas a Pansexual will fuck anything with a hole? :thumbsup: :awe:

You're still too limited in your thinking. A pansexual is all for anything and everything sexual, hole or not, human or not. It's all about sexuality.

I always though pansexuality was at least confined to the human species...?

I'm guessing that they are using it for anything that doesn't quite fit the other categories. The others are all normalized and categorized, thus, anything remaining is "queer."

That's definitely what a transexual is, but there are people who are exclusively attracted to transexual people, I.e. attracted to post-op or pre-op transexuals. It happens. Some people only like "chicks with dicks"....

This sounds more fetish than orientation.

That list is invalid. Pics of the test, I doubt it exists

"Queer" is just a derogatory term used to describe anyone who engages in behavior or embodies stereotypes of those who are attracted to the same sex. It's not extremely derogative , "Queer eye for the straight guy", but it is obviously specific in its use. Definitly not a description of an orientation...well I guess it can be used that way but in no different of use of homosexual

"tranny"; is also not an orientation, it's a description of someone who is physically a transexual. Transexuals can either be homo/hetero/bi/asexual.

So its either with one, the other, both, or never.


I could come up with an analogy but everyone I think of is not helpful!

While I agree with the majority of this, what I think the OP meant by "tranny" is people who are only attracted to transexuals, thus a different sexual orientation.

Transsexual is a gender orientation.

Queer is a sexual orientation that coves stuff like sex male that identify as gender female and are attracted only sex female that identify as gender male.

My point is there is also a sexual orientation of people who are only attracted to transsexuals.

I don't think that's possible.

You either want to be with a man, woman, or both. So what you are describing is bi-sexual?

transexuals still maintain gender identity, the only difference is they choose the opposite one.

Here's a good question, If I really am attracted to "Bill", who is actually a woman but dresses and identifies as a man. Am I homosexual or heterosexual?

Didn't this happen in the movie Hudson Hawk?

That's my point I know what a transexual is, but there are people who are only attracted to someone who is transgender, pre-op. This is the sexual orientation I believe the OP is talking about.

IIRC the attraction to transsexuals is generally considered to be a straight fetish. Gay men generally aren't into trannies because they're attracted to the male form.

I guess, but there are some people who are just attracted to "Lady Boys" very effeminate, breasts and a penis.
