Just wondering how many peeps shared my personal definition:
I tend to think of bisexual as attraction to two or more genders. Poly = many, and pan = all. parallelogram - rectangle - square theory.

Or is that wildly inaccurate? (I dunno, a lotta bi folk are gonna say they're not exclusively attracted to cis-gendered humans, and then you're gonna take ages drawing the line)
