Sexuality doesn't exist. We're attracted to people, not genders.
Anyone I've ever been attracted to was a girl. I've never been attracted to someone who is of my gender....
1. I am wiling to bet that there are women out there that you find unattractive. This would suggest that you are not exclusively attracted to gender.
2. I am also wiling to bet that if you met a male who looked exactly like a woman, let us assume a woman with attributes that would normally seem attractive to you, then you would like their physical appearance. This suggests that genitalia has less to do with attraction as does physical attributes.
3. You could suggest that it is exclusively female attributes you find attractive, but that alone suggests that a simple 'left, middle or right' system does not account for the full spectrum of sexuality.
4. Until you have met every man who has ever existed, you cannot claim to say that you will never be attracted to a man (I know you didn't make that claim, I'm just grasping at a point). It is possible that there is an individual out there whose physical attributions and behavior are attractive to you, and that individual may just happen to have a penis.
Ultimately, when I say sexuality doesn't exist, what I mean is that the three sexuality's that society at large claims to exist are unhelpful and overexposed labels at best. Sexuality is a great deal more complicated than penises and vaginas.
Sorry for the essay.
