Looks like someone hasn't taken into account the existence of hermaphrodites.

Hermaphrodite is incorrect. No actual biological hermaphrodites exist among humans. The correct term is intersex, and there are a wide variety of intersex conditions.

I guess you're right, since it really refers to the way something reproduces. But I did mean intersexed.

Aren't you a straight dude? I'm not saying you shouldn't post in here, either way. But who are you to decide what people are or aren't? For some people, it's not so simple and easy.

If you like both genders you are bisexual period. doesn't matter if you also like transgender,intergender, outergender.
Even if you like kitchen sinks your still bisexual if like both gender. how is not so easy. You look at guy ''yeah he's hot''.
You look at a lady ''yeah she's hot'' . you may find only one gender attractive, or might find both attractive to various degree,
You might also find transgender people attractive. It simple and easy.
I have no idea why you(meems) are so allegric to being know as bisexual what wrong with being bisexual.
I assume you are a liberal. Serious there are alot of other women just like you: bi in denial

Me. why because I said the whole kitchen sink thing that was just an example.
and you are just like the women I've said. Bisexual women who hate being label as bisexual.
Hey I been nice to you. I never insulted you. Called you names. So relax, calm down.
There nothing wrong with being bisexual. I like bisexual women. I don't know if you grew up
with religious right parents. calm down. you sound like ted haggard.

I prefer the term pansexual to bisexual, basically because 'bi' suggests that there are 2 sexes (male and female), thus excludes intersex people.

Does it suggest only two sexes or does it suggest that they are only interested in the two sexes? I see it as the latter...

I see it as the latter, as well. I'm just meaning that for some to say that that the word 'bisexual' should suffice for everyone's language, they are missing the point that some people are simply not only attracted to those who are clearly one of the 2 sexes, i.e. male or female. Of course, some people are not attracted to intersex or transexual people, etc, and 'bi' suits them fine (and there are those who don't care about what Latin or Greek prefixes actually mean, I do :lol:

). This is why 'pan' is a better prefix for me, on a personal basis.

"Pansexual" means that you experience sexual attraction for persons of all gender expressions. Biological sex is irrelevant.
