    I've known for a very long time, (even before I was a teenager) that I like both men and women, but now I'm realizing I also like shemales...those who look female, but have male genitalia...

    If that's the wrong term, please correct me...

    I don't know if I can still be considered bisexual if I have a third preference?

    Be warned, that term's generally used in porn and is considered derogatory and offensive. I doubt that anyone actually calls themselves that. It usually describes trans-women (people who identify as female but were born male) that choose not to (or for some reason can't) have lower surgery. So, most wouldn't appreciate you fetishizing their body by using that term.

    I'd still say you're bisexual. There are many bisexual people who find transgender people attractive.

    those are transgender women, and they aren't some kind of other gender- they're women, plain and simple, they just got there a different way :slight_smile:

    Hi, fluffy! :slight_smile:

    Those attracted to genders outside of the gender binary (i.e., cis-male/cis-female) are pansexual. (Although heard of some other terms used, but this seems to be the most accepted.)

    It's okay! :slight_smile: I'm pretty flexible with those kinds of terms but I don't want you to run into trouble with people who aren't.

    Sounds like pansexual would be a good fit. Similar to bi, but more open to the gray areas of gender.

    Pansexual. You like males and females, but also those who identify as trans.

    uhhhh sorry to butt in here but trans people can also be male and female? bisexuals can like trans people. straight people can like trans people. gay people can like trans people. a cis gay man who dates a trans gay man doesn't make the cis man pan out of nowhere- he's still dating a man.

    Thank you. And also I thought that pansexual meant attraction that doesn't consider gender? I don't think if you're attracted to people whose parts aren't completely male or completely female it always means that you're pan.
