Well, I probably shouldn't have included this because it's a bit complicated (and also because it doesn't refer to sexuality), but I would consider a transsexual man a man even though he was assigned female gender at birth.

I don't. Genetically, she'd still be an XX.

Are we talking about gender or sexuality here?

Gender. "Transsexual" is a rather misleading term, as it doesn't refer to sexuality, but gender identity.

That's odd, because most of the rest of your laundry list deals with sexuality, "heterosexual, homosexual, asexual, bisexual, trisexual, metrosexual, tramsexual, transsexual, pseudosexual"

What is a tramsexual?

What is a tramsexual?

That's because it was a list of things that do not have anything to do with gender. Catfoodtim seemed to think that sexuality defines gender, and I disagree.

I don't know, but if there's a metrosexual, there should also be a tramsexual and a bussexual.

So tramsexual was just something that you made up in an attempt to be funny?

Obviously. I have never heard about trisexual or pseudosexual people either, although I guess trisexual people might be attracted to males, females and intersexed people.

I've heard the term tri-sexual. It seems to have several different meanings. I don't think it is a clinical term.

What is an intersexed person?

But in your retort you talked about a variety of different sexualities, (some made up for your own amusement), and some style choices, and some legitimate gender issues in one group as if they were all equal.

Someone who is biologically neither male nor female or shows characteristics of both.

That's why I said I probably shouldn't have included transsexual. It's the only term in the list that refers to gender. I am not entirely sure what metrosexuality entails, I guess that may be a style choice rather than something about sexuality, but it still fits the list as it doesn't affect gender.
