I ask because personally I've never met anyone who is one and not the other, including myself. So, for my own curiosity are you? Or maybe do you know someone who has gone out of their way to say they are one and not the other?

Not one myself, but by that description, isn't bi- (and everything else pertaining to humans I guess) just a subset of pan-?

Sadly, yes. It is shrinking, though.

When the day comes that I can say 'I'm a heterosexual' and people will ask 'what's that, then?', I will be a happier man. Because everyone is a bisexual in some way or another. Some have a more expressed taste. Oh, when doth come the day...

I should have been more clear on the gender specifics.

I'm sexually attracted to males and females. I guess I am put of by transgender individuals, I don't know whether it is just subconscious intolerance of on my part or I'm just not sexually attracted to them.

You didn't really clear anything up, to be honest, aside from the fact that you're not attracted to non-binary people. Trans men and trans women are still men and women; they're not some other type of gender.

It's just if they had undergone gender-reassignment, or were cross-dressing, I can get confused and become not attracted to them.

I am not completely pansexual, but my tastes cover a broader range than the strictest definition of "bi." I've never seen an FtM transsexual that I thought was attractive, but have been attracted to people in pretty much any other sex/gender category.

Personally, I identify as "bi" and I think "bi" can be applied to anyone that is attracted to more than one gender, regardless of whether it is only the binary genders or if it covers a wider range. I don't see the need to have separate words for bi and pan. Some people get really into the vocabulary, though. Not sure why.

A question I thought of while typing this: Is there a word for preferring androgynous people over either of the binary genders?

I'm not sure what you mean.

By "gender-reassignment", are you referring to SRS? If so, what kind of SRS?

What do you mean by cross-dressing?

If one gender dressed up as the other gender, I am put off.

No, I mean, I'm not sure what exactly you're referring to by "dress[ing] up as the other gender". If a trans man dresses up in "masculine" clothes, he is not cross-dressing; if a trans woman dresses up in "feminine" clothes, she is not cross-dressing.

Sorry, I forgot how gender is fluid (unlike sex).

I meant sex.
