People say that having no sexual urges is being "asexual." I think the usage is a bit off, but ANYWAY. let's leave the term as is in order to avoid more confusion.
So I have no desire for intercourse with anyone/anything.
But I've had crushes on people so far who are both male and female. I don't know any of them to have been transexuals.
So the underlying question is, would you qualify someone to be bisexual if they liked SEX with either gender, or if simply attraction/other feelings would suffice.
What I would also liked answered based on that is how you would group someone like me:
+doesn't want sex
+is attracted to male and female

because I'm struggling with the definitions myself.

Your guardian angel is here to ask what she considers to be the Asexuality Litmus Test:

Do you masturbate? Do you reach orgasm from it? Do you get reach orgasm from it?

Because self-sex is sex. There's just a huge difference between wanting to have sex with yourself or with someone else. There needs to be Type 1 and Type 2 Aexuality, Type 1 being "sex with myself, you aren't invited" and Type 2 being, "absolutely no libido for a hand, vibrator, or another person what so ever."

And clear this up for me, because last time I checked, "attraction" referred to sexual attraction, meaning that the thought of sex with someone aroused you.

I guess someone could classify you as bi-curious.

Considering how young I think you are, your just confused.

But if your 18+ your probably just bi.

Thank you guardian angel.
I just use "attraction" as attractive people in terms of good looking...
answers.com had this to say:
In the case another person is attractive we have interpersonal attraction. One form of attractivity, not necessarily sexual, is appeal of facial features. If interpersonal attraction is mutual it may lead to friendship or a romantic relationship that may or may not include sexual relations.
