So are you gay? Bi? Lesbian? A transexual, perhaps?
Then you've come to the right place. This is the thread for people with alternate orientations. Straight people can come here too.
Anyway, what's your sexual orientation/preferred gender?
I'm a lesbian. YAY!

Oh, wrong thread.
Seriously, bad joke. I am straight and do support homosexual rights.

I usually describe myself as 2/3rds asexual, 1/6th lesbian, 1/6th bi. It's possible I'll be attracted to guys, but not incredibly likely.

Transgendered bisexual weirdo, reporting in! I say weirdo because my bisexuality is, well, weird.
Physically, I'm attracted to both pretty equally. Personality wise, it's very rare that I have any attraction/attachment to girls. If I wasn't with my girlfriend, I'd either be single or with a guy.

Holy hell, I didn't know the site had so many asexuals!
I be a pansexual transgender.Argh.
When it comes to a relationship; the other person's gender identity and sex doesn't really matter to me. As long as they aren't a douche and they have a decent personality; anything can happen.

T reporting in!
Also, my sexuality is doing that weird-ass thing that teenage sexualities do where it has no idea what the hell it's supposed to be. I get sexual feelings, but I don't actually want to have sex with anyone, yet I do, but it's extremely picky and it's more guys than girls... However, I don't care who I have a relationship with, since I am/could be attracted to just about anyone. I'm guessing wonky-as-hell!asexual panromantic.
Good luck making sense of that one.

^ I'm going through that teenager-sexuality-confusion crap too. It's more annoying than anything else.
For now, I'm calling myself mostly straight (maybe biromantic?).

Lol, Philophobia I had a similar reaction. I kept picking on my girlfriend about it, I told her something along the lines of "Hey, maybe you should be on TS instead of me, there's a whole buncha you on there!" It was kind of mean, but she didn't take it personally. Which is cool, because I was just being a jackass (as usual). Weird sex-related observation, it's not explicit or anything, I promise. I know I can't be the only one like this, but it's just weird/a little funny to me personally. I'm ftm, identify as a guy and have been working on looking/presenting male a LOT more in the past few months. Around the same time, my best friend and I merged into a weird sexual/romantic relationship with each other. My girlfriend doesn't know about it, but she doesn't know I've got polyamorous tendancies, and I've been cleared for "Screwing around" with this guy. It sounds like a massive excuse for cheating, but it really isn't.
Anyway, it's fucking weird as hell but I actually feel like more of a guy when I'm with him than when I'm with her. Made ever weirder by the fact that THIS GUY IS STRAIGHT. Lolwut.
It doesn't bother me at all, it's nice honestly, but it's just weird as hell. Part of it's definitely because he's a LOT more accepting of it than she is, but still. You'd think that having a sex with another guy would make me feel like more of a girl or something, yet it doesn't. Fuckin' weird.
'Kay, all safe now. [/spoiler]

I think I'm lesbian, maybe bi. I mean, I can't see myself with a dude, I'm attracted to girls, I get crushes on girls, and all that. Still, I find some guys kind of hot - not in the "WOW I WANT HIM AS MY BOYFRIEND"-sense, but more like "He's very handsome, but I really can't imagine being with him". Yay, teenage hormones and massive confusion. I have a tolerant family, but they don't understand how I can be gay when I'm so young, and my school... well, fuck my school. I have homophobic classmates, and the teachers refuse to do anything about it, since they're just as homophobic. ARGH./rant

My biggest fear is that a guy won't think I'm girly enough, since I tend to be more tomboyish in my appearance and how I act. I've been called a lesbian purely because I don't subscribe to some socially accepted notion of what girls should wear. I have short hair that's often colored in punky ways, a tattoo, and dress goth and punk. I don't show cleavage, I don't ass strut when I walk, I hate dresses and high heeled shoes. I hate that I feel as if I need to write on my forehead that says "I'm Straight", just because some dumbasses think any girl who dresses "like a dyke" actually is one. [/size][/color][/font]

Asexual here. Somewhere between pan-romantic and not-properly-romantic-but-not-quite-aromantic. It's all a bit screwy right now, since I thought I knew what it was, but it isn't. The asexual equivalent of teenage sexuality fluidity, perhaps?

When someone is asexual, does that mean there are no natural sexual feelings, or you just choose not to act on them? Do you think sex is gross (lack of a more mature word, I'm sorry) or just can't see yourself engaging in sexual intercourse with anyone?

Delicate, long-haired girls don't do a thing for me, they all look the same honestly.

Not to say I'd forbid the other type all together but still it's preferable.

Asexual aromantic here. Never so much as had a crush on anyone or felt any urge to have sex or even fap. I'm cool with people of any orientation or gender identity, but I have zero interest in ever having a romantic or sexual relationship ever. I'm still a teenager, so that might change throughout my life, but I personally don't think it will and hope it doesn't.
When someone is asexual, does that mean there are no natural sexual feelings, or you just choose not to act on them? Do you think sex is gross (lack of a more mature word, I'm sorry) or just can't see yourself engaging in sexual intercourse with anyone? Answer bolded. Only for the more narrow/technical definition of asexuality in humans. TvTropes' Asexuality page has a much better explanation of the feelings of most people who identify as asexual.

Not-particularly-gendered heteroromantic asexual here, with one If It's You, It's Okay exception. I'm physically female, but I don't really think much about it... the general consensus among my friends seems to be I am always either a man or a woman, never a girl, never a guy, and definitely never a boy. Then again, I'm just much more masculine than most women and a lot of guys I know. I have only met a very, very few men who can think of me as feminine, and all of them are hypermasculine Alpha Males.
I like kissing and cuddling, but I have no particular interest in sex with anyone who is not my one exception. I find the idea of other people's genitalia somewhat distasteful, and the idea of touching other people sexually somewhat disgusting. I'm heteroromantic because the idea of touching male genitalia is less distasteful to me than touching female genitalia, and because I seriously could not handle a romantic relationship with another woman, as I find most of them highly confusing and sometimes quite annoying.
With my first boyfriend, I thought it was something I would get over with patience and understanding, but whenever I got some sort of indication that he had sexual organs and sexual thoughts about me, I felt sick. Not that I didn't love him, and not that he wasn't a truly darling young man (absolutely perfect for most romantic straight girls, especially ones into BDSM), but the idea of touching his penis or having it near my body was revolting. With my sweetheart, I find the idea that he finds me sexually desirable flattering and am willing to respond in kind to him, but if anyone else expresses some sort of sexual desire for me, I go back to feeling revolted.
I also appreciate the beauty of the human body in a non-sexual way. I have posters of Marilyn Monroe and Marlon Brando all over my apartment, and Gil Elvgren pin-ups in every room, but I look at them the same way that I look at a Monet landscape, or a study by John Shaw.

That was my answer bolded. Not going to speak for anyone else. I kept it short because VK's wording summed it up almost perfectly.

So the landlady's been questioning my sexuality pretty much ever since I moved in and she found out I'm lesbian. Tonight she decided to say "Oh, I don't think you're /really/ a lesbian; you've just never seen a guy who... well... I think you're actually... scared of boys." It took everything I had not to tell her something along the lines of "well, I don't think you're really straight. You're just scared of girls." or something. I realize it would've been really immature of me to say that, which is part of the reason why I didn't, but...
Have any of you ever had anyone try to come up with "reasonable explanations" as to why you are the way you are?

All the time: I must be asexual because I underwent some sort of sexual abuse. Actually, I was asexual before I underwent sexual abuse, so yeah.
I do have a theory that may be somewhat offensive, that there are some people who were naturally bisexual, but more interested in same-sex, who were completely turned off the opposite sex by a horrible experience. I say this only because I've met several gay men with horrifying mothers and several lesbians who were sexually abused by men. But it's certainly not the deciding factor in sexuality - it just seems a more reasonable explanation to me for the stereotype of gay men having domineering mothers who "make them gay".

One of my best friends canNOT get it through his head that I'm not a lesbian, and I'm not a girl. Cannot. Accept. It.
The dumbest part about that particular friend is that one of hisfriends is mtf. I don't know if he does the same stuff to her, but still, you'd think he'd at least be familiar with the concept.
Part of the problem with this guy, honestly, is that he's always joking and never wants things to be serious, unless it's unavoidable. When it comes down to serious shit, he's a great friend, he's let me vent on the phone about the whole trans thing before and said he doesn't give a shit what I am. As soon as that's over though, it's like he resets or something, goes back to calling me a lesbian, goes back to almost outing me constantly. I'm worried that one of these days he's gonna say it at the wrong time and I'm gonna go apeshit about it.
He's also given me the stupid "Why the hell would you want to be a guy, they're all asses, blah blah blah"
So first off, you lose man points for being one of those "guys all suck, women are perfect" freaks. Also, it's not a choice, it's not something that's fixable. Fuck, if I could sedate myself enough to not mind these fucking tumors on my chest and checking that goddamn "F" on federal forms, trust me, I'd do it in a heart beat.

I've start thinking of myself as a bi-gender/gender neutral type. Bi-gender because yes, I do switch back and forth between different "gender" mannerisms (usually to adapt to specific situations), and gender neutral, because all in all I don't actually identify with male or female.
And sometimes the above is really confusing, especially since I'm only attracted to males. xd Sometimes I feel perfectly fine, and other I feel...I dunno, gay for liking guys. Makes sense? Not really. xD

^ I've always felt gay for liking guys, probably one of the reasons I claimed to be a lesbian for way too fucking long. When I finally got over myself, admitted I was trans and bi, it didn't bother me anymore. I just get pissed when I'm out with my weird bestfriendboyfriendthing and people automatically assume I'm a girl. Fuckers.
