Huh. I guess I would find it strange if a bisexual was only attracted to the cis genders, because...where is the problem, exactly? The reasons I'm not sexually attracted to trans* women is because when I'm having sex, I like vaginas and not penises. Unless it's the social part that's off-putting, I'm kind of curious as to why you're not attracted to trans* people as well as cis people. Are you having problems getting over the identity part, or what?

That sounds a lot like the "bisexuals will do anything that moves" crap. Because we're all just sluts who will take whatever they can get, right?

That's not what I meant at all. I just meant that the genitals shouldn't be the problem, whereas they would be for me because I only like the biological female ones. I'm not sure what other reason there would be, specific preferences for specific people aside. :/

If you're willing to explain it, I'd appreciate it, but since it doesn't affect me by and large, just ignore me if I'm being offensive. I promise I'm not doing it on purpose.

Perhaps a better way of putting what I was trying to get to further down: what the genitals are attached to can be important.

That's not what was said or implied at all, but nice job trying to start wank! Except, waaait. No, it totally failed!

I tend to be attracted to certain types of men and certain types of women. I've yet to find someone trans* who fits into either category. For me, it's not the genitals that determine if I'm attracted to someone, but other factors. I'm just not attracted to everyone.

AYRT

Then that makes perfect sense. :) Thank you.

This is me exactly.

Attraction is complex and varies immensely among individuals. The only bisexual person I'll ever speak for is myself.

The way I see it, the body is a part of a person, as is the manner in which they present themselves and how that is influenced by their conception of their gender. I have no idea if I will ever be attracted to a trans* person. All I can say is I haven't been yet. I do know that I tend to be attracted to women of androgynous appearance, but to non-androgynous men. I've only been attracted to men who were quite clearly within the binary. I think that line I've discovered is interesting: I find androgyny alluring if the bottom line is female, but not so much if the bottom line is male.

The point of that is that a potential mate's gender expression plays a role in my attraction to them, and though I don't speak for anyone else, I know from friends that I'm not alone. That's just gender expression - I think gender identity becomes even more complex.

Thank you very much for the explanation. This makes the entire question make much more sense to me, so thank you for that as well. :)

Oh good! I was afraid that went all over the place :\

No, not at all. :) My personal experience has led to me occasionally thinking "if you were a woman, I would be SO into you" though, so that was where my confusion was coming from. I guess I just view the body and the personality separately, whereas you're viewing them as parts of the whole identity. Very interesting perspective for me to see, so again, thanks for sharing (and for showing up before I could put my foot in my mouth any further.)

Viewing body and personality as parts of the whole identity is a really good way of putting it. I'll have to remember that phrasing for next time! :)
