(Anonymous) 2012-12-30 09:40 am (UTC)(link)
I am a ciswoman who is largely attracted to genderless individuals.

I call myself bisexual. I have had happy, communicative relationships with a range of individuals on a spectrum of gender from almost entire neutral to strongly woman-indentified to moderately strong male-identified, both cis and trans. I called myself bi with them.

To the best of my knowledge not a single one of them felt that I was excluding them from my identity and insulting our relationship by calling myself that.

We don't need new terms. We need to come to accept that the terms that exist cover a broad array and range of possibilities and that each time we create a new term the only damn thing we're doing is pigeonholing people further and further and forcing them to choose an identity that may or may not be theirs, or may not be theirs in a decade's time)

(and, no, I don't believe orientation is a choice. I DO believe, however, that it can change overtime, both actually, and in a more metaphorical sense as people come to accept themselves or see more of the world.)
