This is nothing more than a case of self serving definitions. Traditionally acknowledged sexual orientations involve sexual attraction to a sex or sexes. That is not what makes it a sexual orientation. If we're to set the traditional orientations in brackets and ask what makes them unique above and beyond pedophilia, presenting a definition of sexual orientation that can only apply to traditional sexual orientations is simply sidestepping the question.
How is it though? Sexual orientation being words to the effect of "the sex and/or gender one is attracted to" is overwhelmingly what "sexual orientation" means by most peoples' definitions, it is considered a spectrum between "attracted to men" and "attracted to women" and it can't really go anywhere else from there. I haven't invented anything new in what I said. You're the one shifting the goal posts and changing up what "sexual orientation" means, not me.
I'm done here. I said my opinion and that is my opinion, if it's "bigoted" then it's gonna have to be bigoted on today, I don't accept it.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
