A week later, the actress returned to Twitter to clarify her comments, explaining she had only just recently come out as bisexual to her family and friends.

It's the most fitting description, short and concise, and really to-the-point." In the same interview Cho also said "Bisexuality, for me, is probably the right term, too; however, because I am also very attracted to transgendered people, that concept is limiting. To say that there are only two sexes is not true for me in my life, as even I feel somewhat transgendered myself." Photo: Ray Tamarra
