Transexual isn't a sexuality, also in the context of this proposed situation where people are volunteering to become homosexuals to prevent population overflow becoming pan sexual or bi sexual wouldn't have much benefit.
It was a joke, honestly. By this point I thought people weren't taking the issue very seriously, so I threw in some implications of rampant promiscuity, which is a stereotype of pansexuals and bisexuals (as I'm only too familiar), and of misguided collectivism (transexuals not being an orientation as you pointed out). Did I not convey the irony very well? It doesn't always translate so well online without the body language and tone.

I am sorry if I gave some sort of offense or said something insensitive
I didn't find it offensive funny or insensitive or unfunny or anything basically i had no emotional reaction to what i saw you typing, i just basically thought, that's wrong, then typed my reaction.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
