Hi Jurassicwars,

I assume you mean porn featuring trans women (the term "shemale" is considered offensive)? If so, trans women are women so being attracted to them means you're still attracted primarily to women. Are there other instances that are making you wonder about your orientation?
And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.

Some folk have different body type/aesthetic preferences for different genders. Can be valid as bisexual even if you only like feminine dudes as well as girls.

Iwanthelp is right: you can be bisexual and different preferences depending on the gender of the person involved. Ultimately, it's up to you to label your sexual orientation as you see fit. This article is a great place to start with that: The Rainbow Connection: Orientation for Everyone

Then it certainly sounds like you're experiencing attraction to multiple genders, which meets most people's definition of bisexuality or pansexuality. But, as I said above, it's ultimately up to you to decide what term you feel most comfortable using to refer to yourself.
