Well...

... on the one hand the term "bisexual" was applied to us and reflects some rather outdated notions of sexuality and gender that didn't exactly describe us. So a lot of people are not comfortable with "bisexual" as a term.

... but on the other hand anti-bisexual prejudice exists, and the term was widely redefined by bisexual communities in the 80s and 90s to be inclusive of non-binary gender and sexuality.

... but back on the first hand, etymology.

... but back on the second hand, etymological fallacy.

... but back on the first hand, some bisexual people are transphobic or have problems with non-binary people.

... but back on the second hand, some pansexual people use the identity as a way to throw bisexuals under the bus for t-chasing credibility.

Your points are all very valid. I just think that for all intents and purposes, the "bisexual" label works just fine so why reinvent the wheel.

[sarillia]

I feel the same way but I can understand some people being uncomfortable with it and I think it's fair for them to use whatever label they are comfortable with. My only problem comes when they're making incorrect generalizations about the people who do use the label they rejected.

[cbrachyrhynchos]

Oh yeah. I describe myself as bisexual because anti-bisexual prejudice exists, and also I've never been in a case where my sexuality was attacked separate from my perceived gender. My real-life experience is that cocksucker = fucking fairy, and it's a bit frustrating to get shoved back into the gender binary as if it was all Tom of Finland vs. Hilda on a point of etymological order.

You see, if people feel uncomfortable calling themselves bi, that's fine. But when they try to tell me my label is wrong, not fine at all. Bisexual means I might be attracted to you whether you have man or lady parts - it says nothing about people's identities since I can't know that when I get attracted to them.
