Demi/grey ace attracted to multiple genders, but only one sex

I am on the asexual spectrum. I lean more toward demisexual or grey asexual rather than full blown asexual. Personality and emotional attraction takes precedence over sexual attraction. I am cool with all gender identities, but I want nothing to do with male genitalia. Is there a word for that? Maybe demipolysexual lesbian? Or is that a contradiction? 

 

Edit: I am a cisgender female dating a person who is non binary and trans masculine (born female). I dated a cisgender guy before my current partner. Penises do nothing for me. I'm not a fan of vaginas either. If I was single, I'd be cool being in a romantic relationship with a cisgender female, an AFAB who has not had sex reassignment surgery, or a AMAB who has had sex reassignment surgery. Basically I don't care about gender identity. I could be with a guy, but not a penis.

I think since gender isn't determined by body parts, you would be pan-demisexual/greysexual who doesn't want to have sex involving a penis.

Or just demi-homosexual (assuming you're female and/or have female equipment).

 

Sexual orientation is most commonly interpreted using sex, not gender.  (Unsurprisingly.)

 

If you got male equipment and you want to screw other people with male equipment, as far as the vast majority of society is concerned, you're gay/homosexual.  Gender doesn't factor.

There's definitely a debate to be had here, but it might be more convenient to just act like gender is determined by genitalia for the sake of labeling yourself. The rule isn't usually defined by the exception.

I'm not sure about that. Since most people are cis, the question of whether they can be attracted to trans people of their preferred gender might not ever come into question for most people. But if we define gender by genitalia, we run the risk of misgendering trans people. And since you can't see someone's genitalia by looking at them, it's not really the genitalia people are attracted to.

Sorry, I didn't really mean what I said about defining gender by genitalia. Of course you shouldn't misgender trans people. I meant it might be more convenient a woman who is only attracted to (biologically) female genitalia to label herself as homosexual, rather than "a woman who is only attracted to female genitalia".

Well, yes. This definitely applies for romantic orientations. But for sexual orientations, genitalia definitely plays a role in whether you're attracted to someone.

In most cases, probably yes. But it seems like the OP is willing to be in a romantic relationship with people of any genders.

Often, yes. Not always, though.

Yeah, so that would make her a pan/bi/omniromantic homosexual, right? Am I missing something here?

Well, maybe, but it seems like the sexual attraction extends to multiple genders as well.

Oh okay, the original post was a little unclear. In that case, yeah, I guess the OP is a just a bi/pan/omnisexual person who's only attracted to (biologically) female genitalia. :)
