Uh, sorry folks, but words mean things and science trumps feelings.
Let's break this down.
There are three sexual orientations: Straight, Gay, and Bi.
If you have no attraction to members of the same sex, you're straight. If you have no attraction to members of the opposite sex, you're gay. If you have some attraction, some of the time, to members of both sexes, you're bi.
If you have any degree of attraction to someone of the same sex as you, then you're Bi. You might be 1% Bi, you might choose to never act on your attraction (just as I choose not to sleep with a married woman) but that has exactly nothing to do with whether I find her attractive -- or whether you find someone of the same sex attractive in a sexual manner. You either do or you don't on a categorical basis.
As to sexes there are exactly two: Male and Female.
There are, however, varying degrees of satisfaction with a person's draw in the genetic lottery. Spare me the horsecrap about "androgenous" people; there are none. You might be a ****ed-up male (e.g. XXY, Klinefelter's syndrome) but you're still a male genetically. If you have no "Y" chromosome in your cells you're female. You might be a ****ed-up female (e.g. single X, Turner's syndrome) but you're still female.
Bluntly, there is no such thing as "transgendered."

Real science is no friend of libs. As is math.
Which is why they are free to demonstrate that they live a blissful life well to the left of the Bell Curve.
Total BS.
Don't know who Karl Denninger is; probably a fine person but you're either heterosexual or you're a queer. One perversion does not cancel another. If you're attracted to a person of the same gender as you, it doesn't matter if you also sleep with people of the opposite sex or with goats. Either way, you're a queer.
No, no, and no!
If I identify as a horse, then I’m a horse!
Mommy Hillary said so, and she would have won if the Russians hadn’t hacked her campaign and kept her from finding Rust Belt voters whose self-interest would have been best served by serving Her!
And if those meanies on the right don’t address me by my horse name and use my proper horse pronouns, I’m going to call the Oregon Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries and have each of them fined $135,000 for hurting my delicate feelings, just like we did to Sweet Cakes!
I might even call Antifa on them because denying me what I demand is initiating terrorist fascist violence, and anyone who does that deserves to be beaten up in the streets, just like we did to those who wanted to hear conservatives speak!
So there!
And Ha!
Double Ha!
[Liberal logic - it’s irrefutable.]
The real science about sexual orientation was done by Paul McHugh a University Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University. Here is a link to his findings:

No, there is no such thing as “bisexual” for a man. If you ever crossed swords, you’re a homo no matter how many women you’ve also had.
That’s just how it is and there ain’t nothing that can be done about it.
There are rare conditions in which an individual who has XY chromosomes fails to develop male characteristics. Often, these individuals who look and act like girls are only diagnosed when they fail to enter puberty within the same timeframe as their friends.
But those conditions are the only legitimate cases in which an individual who is genetically male genuinely identifies as female.
There will be a day when someone DOES identify as a horse or some other animal and then will DEMAND their body be transplanted onto the head of that animal or the head of that animal be transplanted onto their body....What to do with the spare parts? Heck - that’s for someone else to figure out.
Sex: either Male or Female.
For 99 percent, this is determined by XX or XY in conjunction with fully-developed corresponding genitalia.
Even intersex is usually resolved to XX or XY.
At birth, a small number of people have under-developed genitalia of the other sex. It used to be routine for the extraneous genitalia to be surgically removed with the consent of the parents. These people are still XX or XY.
Another small number of people have under-developed male genitalia (even while being XY) or over-developed female genitalia (even while being XX). These people are still XX or XY.
MOSAIC
A very small number of people have a mix of XX and XY chromosomes. Maybe 1 out of 1,000 persons. Among this very small number of people, genitalia may resolve the matter of sex, but not always.
So, XX or XY supplemented by clarity of genitalia in the case of mosaic chromosomes can indicate male or female in 99.9 percent of the cases. In the old days, typing everybody as one or the other was perfectly fine. But, today, we are a lot richer and can at least consider accommodating unusual cases.
So, here’s my fatwah:
All persons born XX or XY are presumed female or male, all persons born mosaic but with well-developed genitalia of one and only one sex are presumed of that sex. This presumption may only be overturned on compelling evidence that the person has transitioned from one to the other sex. The remaining people are free to choose being female or male, but may also choose to be intersex in which case will be considered female in terms of public accommodations, dress codes, and competitive sports with separate categories for males and females.
You may notice that I wind up with a society only of males and females, while making some accommodation for transgendered and intersex persons.
That is an excellent article by Dr. McHugh, thank you for linking it.
You’re so unkind Wilburrr...
Thank you too.
It’s a very sad and telling commentary on the left when one can look at Andrew Dice Clay’s stand up routines from the 80s and realize he had a more lucid take on gender roles and identities than does the modern liberal.
But I have a great track record!
Fixed it.
I think Rush used to call it.....Straight, Gay and Greedy!!
HEAR HEAR
There are two sexual choices. Normal and pervert.
You choose which you are by your actions.
There are two sexes. Male and Female.
Here you don't get a choice as that is determined at your conception.
You can thrash around and throw all the words at it that you want but that is the reality.
Deal with it.
