If you believe there are only three sexualities - heterosexual, bisexual, homosexual - (I personally exclude asexual), then which sexuality is generally attracted to people who identify as trans/nonbinary/genderfluid/etc and dating them? 🤔

Well, I can tell you one thing: it ain't bisexuals. Yes, I realize that we're "supposed" to be attracted to such people, based on the stereotype of bisexuals being sexually-indiscriminate and thus attracted to ALL people... but surprise surprise, that's a load of rubbish.

We're capable of being attracted to "people who identify as trans/nonbinary/genderfluid etc." in precisely the same way that YOU-- and all other monosexuals-- are: based on their biological sex. Just like lesbians and straight men can be attracted to "transmen", gay men and straight women can be attracted to "transwomen", and so on. We aren't aliens, yanno. We're just another sexual orientation. And that means attraction to the femaleness of women/maleness of men. Only one of those, in monosexuals' case; both, in ours.

If you do see more bisexuals (particularly women) than monosexuals paired with these Genderspeshul Snowflakes, it may well be a matter not of our preferences but rather, frankly, of our vulnerability. Bi people are at best provisional members of LGB; we're generally invisible, regarded as non-existent, or treated dismissively; we often don't even realize that we're bisexual (or what bisexuality actually is); we have high poverty rates and poor mental and physical health; and, to top it all off, we're seen as born sluts who haven't any right to say "no". And sadly, we aren't immune to believing these things ourselves.

So while I sincerely doubt that bisexuals are any more attracted to the TQ+ than anybody else is, I can readily believe that the TQ+ has quite a bit of success in sexually exploiting us.
