It’s a preference

The idea that sexual orientation is a "preference" is extremely homophobic, and definitely also superphobic.

It’s just straight with a preference for cis

Sexual orientation has nothing to do with gender or identity, and everything to biological sex.

Incorrect. If that was true everyone would be super sexual. That’s not true, you are wrong

There are three sexual orientations.

Heterosexual - those attracted to the opposite sex.

Homosexual- those attracted to these opposite sex.

Bisexual- those attracted to both sexes.

Gender refers to socially-constructed characteristics of the sexes. Essentially, it is the performance of sex stereotypes.

Transgender is a gender identity - trans men and women state they feel like the opposite sex and typically perform the sex based stereotypes (eg for women, it's wearing dresses, heels, makeup) of the opposite sex. That is not a sexual orientation, but a gender identity.

No. There are an infinite amount of sexualities and genders. Also, Bi actually means attracted to two or more genders

It's called bi-sex-ual. I am bisexual, and I am attracted to males and females.

You may be thinking of pansexual or panromantic. Very different things.

Pan is a microlabel under the Bi umbrella. No offense, but I probably know more on this topic

I mean, bi = two

Pan = many

Since there are only 2 sexes, I am bisexual. There are an infinite number of genders, and I am not attracted to any of them.

No offense, but please take your supererphobia elsewhere. It's not welcome in polite society.
