I posted a question on another web-site about whether those of us who solely love LBs should refer to our love as "The Third Sexuality". Anyone know if this is English?

...Keep up the effort Ziggy, but there is an enormous resistance to any infractions of the di-morphic essentialism of the West as you are discovering. Milton Diamond might be a useful ref - he eschews terms like gay straight bi and uses instead androphilic gynaphilic and ambiphilic to describe sexual orientation in an attempt to avoid this appalling metaphysics of ontology that pervades this dicourse generally.
....For someone attracted to or with a history of relationships with transpeople, I'd use the term transsensual. Here, my own personal preference is for the term pansexual, to indicate attraction to people across all gender possibilities (or without regard to gender at all). Another possibility would be Omnisexual or Antrhosexual (which is purposfully vague as being attracted to humans). If you're interested, I just finished my undergrad thesis on the variety of language and terminology used to describe sexual orientation and gender identity, and the experience of being dissatisfactied with available terminology.
