listen, not to be dramatique but i’d be fine with the terms omnisexual, polysexual, pansexual, etc to describe people’s experiences if they weren’t a continuation of the lgbt+ community’s biphobia and desire to avoid the term bi

like you can id however you want, it isn’t my place to police anyone, but please think critically about why there are so many terms for identities of attraction to multiple genders, but there’s generally one accepted term for most other sexualities

honest to god, everyone in the comments trying to limit the definition of bisexuality is pissing me the hell off

don’t deign to tell me what I can’t be without even doing any research off of tumblr

bisexuality has and always has been the attraction to TWO OR MORE genders, REGARDLESS OF WHAT THOSE GENDERS ARE

within bisexuality there are a lot of separate experiences, however all fall under “bisexual”

https://www.binetusa.org/bisexuality/being-bi/1990-bi-manifesto

please go read yourself the 1990 bi manifesto, which sought to eliminate harmful misconceptions about bi people in 1990, including that bisexuality only involves two gender attraction or only involves attraction to binary genders

it honestly hurts that all of these still exist today and that so many of them have been echoed on this stupid post

also if I ever have to read “bi means two!!! :)))” again I’m gonna actually scream

listen

THE BISEXUAL COMMUNITY DIDNT NAME ITSELF

THEY CLAIMED A MEDICAL TERM THAT WAS USED AGAINST THEM IN PRIDE

therefore any argument about “but they named themselves 2!!!!” is bullshit, bc no they didn’t

doctors who were trying to “cure” them oversimplified bisexuality into “two”, the bi community never claimed to be so simplistic
