Sexuality poll: It's all just spores anyway.

We must know!

Also, if you are trans-anything, then use the gender you identify as as your own gender, in this case.

Truly, I was going to make a physics joke, but I have decided against it.

I'll change the poll later for alternate gender identities.

Unless you mean other little data points.

I just don't want to dilute the poll too much.

What if one is agender? Wouldn't that mean that, no matter what, that person is attracted to another gender? (unless theyre only attracted to agender people and the only agender people I know are pansexual anyway but whatever)
What if the person is bigender? If they're attracted to women it would be the same gender while they identify as female but the opposite when identifying as male. I think maybe you should rephrase the poll in hetero/homo/bi/asexual terms because that way it's easier for people to just pick the sexuality they identify with despite definitions.
Even if you don't, I think you should still add a pansexual option to the poll (attracted to anyone regardless of gender identity)

...I think it's easier just to keep it simple. ::)
If we were gonna include every ultra-specific label that gets thrown around these days we'd end up with a list of poll options several screens long, half of which would have one or two votes, tops. I guess renaming the options hetero/bi/homo/asexual would be okay if that makes it easier for people somehow, but I think the current ones work fine.

Nope, you're not the only gay in the village ;).

I like every body type. Preferably at the same time.

They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

The bisexuals I know tend to either like very masculine men & very feminine women or androgynous men & women. They're like two distinct sexual orientations.  Not saying that the poll needs to be changed, just a random observation :)

My favorite appearances seem to hover around the 2/3 androgynous 1/3 masculine (or feminine) range. I like the gender to be obvious but not overexaggerated. Then again I HAVE been attracted to bears and hourglasses too, so it's not a hard rule.

Speaking of bears and androgyny, one time I was walking down the street and noticed an unlikely pair walking toward me.  One guy was a big burly bear and the other was a skinny emo twink.  At least in San Francisco, the gay subcultures don't mix much, so I definitely took note of the pair.  They were both really attractive, though the difference in body type between both men was definitely greater than the difference between the twink and many of the women in the same vicinity.

I just want you to know, I read this literally at first.

I'm pretty solidly in the heterosexual camp. Can't think of aught else to add.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.
