Which term refers to a person attracted to both men and women?

Transgender
Intersex
Homosexual
Bisexual

The correct answer is: Bisexual

The term that refers to a person attracted to both men and women is "bisexual." Bisexuality encompasses the capacity for attraction to individuals of more than one gender, thus recognizing and validating the experiences of those who find themselves attracted to both male and female individuals. This term acknowledges the fluidity of sexual orientation and reflects a spectrum of attraction that is not limited to a single gender. The other terms, while related to aspects of gender and sexuality, represent different concepts. Transgender relates to a person's gender identity that differs from the sex they were assigned at birth, not directly about attraction. Intersex describes individuals born with reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn't fit typical definitions of male or female. Homosexual specifically refers to attraction to the same sex, either male or female. Therefore, bisexually distinguishes a broader eligibility in attraction compared to these other terms.
