- I've heard similar comments from TS members of the Edinburgh Bisexual Group.

- Could you clarify what you mean by "genders" here? Are you referring
- to karotype, or what? Some TS's refer to themselves as a third sex,
- are they included in your definition?
-
- It's interesting to compare this approach with the approach that Alan
- uses in his glossary of terms about sexual and gender identity. Would
- either of you like to comment?

- I think it depends on what you take the word to mean. The reality is more
- important than the words we use to describe it. If we make the bisexual
- community open to peope of all genders , then that is what the word will
- come to mean.
