Except... it seems like there's something wrong about saying that being straight/gay/bi implies *only* being attracted to cis members of the gender you're attracted to?

I mean. That feels like implying you have to have a special, different orientation to be attracted to someone who is trans*, because they aren't ~really~ of the gender by which they identify. Which... is problematic.

tl;dr: I don't think people who identify as bi are saying that they aren't attracted to trans* people. One could conceivably make that case, I suppose, about genderqueer people, but I would argue that a vast majority of bisexual people don't actually see it as only being attracted to two genders.

I could be wrong, so I don't want to speak for everyone, but this is how I've heard/seen it.

Yeah, I.. only meant it about genderqueer people. Sorry for being unclear.

Gender and sex are different things. Transmen and transwomen may be men and women by gender but that means jack all to somebody who is attracted to a specific sex.
