This is an interesting topic, thanks for sharing.

In regards to counting autosexuals as liking the same-sex...

I would say...No, it doesn't count unless they are actively seeking out the same sex. For example, if a straight woman finds herself HIGHLY attractive but finds all other women unattractive sexually/romantically, then she is not bisexual. I would say bisexuality is the attraction towards other men & women---not including oneself.

I do see your point tho, because if said straight women is attracted to herself, a woman, and the definition of bisexuality is attraction to males/men and females/women, then technically, wouldn't she be bisexual? I say no because she doesn't want to be romantically nor sexually involved with other women because she's a heterosexual.

Once again, thanks for sharing it was a food for a thought.

I was thinking more if someone is autosexually attracted to the fantasy of themselves as the opposite sex--vs a true autosexual attraction--and people of the same sex, because they are specifically attracted to the opposite characteristics, even if only on themselves. Your point still stands, and I agree with your definition of bisexuality.
