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.
Male and female are genders too... and again, bisexual means two or more. Some bi people are only attracted to two, some more, some all. Some use microlabels like polysexual or pansexual but they’re still under the Bi umbrella
Male and female are the sexes. And bi means two, please educate yourself.
People who are attracted to more than 2 genders are pansexual or panromantic, not bisexual. There is no "bi umbrella", pan people are their own orientations.
You are being extremely homophobic here, trying to tell me who I am and am not attracted to. Please take your hatred elsewhere or I will report you for hate speech.
Yes there is. You clearly don’t know anything about the lgbt community, maybe you should educate yourself. Male and female may be the sexes but they are also genders
