Thought experiment time (perhaps this happened to you in real life as well): suppose you saw this attractive female body from behind. Then as she turned around, you noticed she was a man. Doesn't that mean you are also attracted to men in some way? At that point it's no longer binary—it's just a matter of degree.

I'd say that proves the opposite - the moment of realisation is when your brain identifies the sex of the person, and then discounts them as not being of interest.
Not being of interest yes, but it doesn't take away the fact that you found them sexually attractive in some respect.

Before they turned around, you had a mental image that filled in the rest of the picture.
