IAWTSSM. Bisexuality has a lot of different levels to it. If you label yourself as gay or straight, you're saying by definition of those words, "I'm strictly attracted to the opposite OR same sex. There's no room for funny business outside of that." And then to say "But I'd do him or her," you're admitting to liking something outside of that norm you've ascribed yourself to.

Welcome to bisexuality.

If you flexible or fluid, you're bisexual or bi-curious. Bisexual people can lean mostly towards one side and only find a handful of the other side (or even just one) attractive, and you still can't logically claim you're 100% straight or 100% gay.

I always thought most people were bisexual, anyway. Calling yourself straight or gay is just so . . . well, "Heil!" Most people don't fit that strict definition of gay or straight.

Liking one person of that gender doesn't mean they'd be attracted to others.

Sexuality isn't logical or an either/or basis, it's more complex than that. Only the individual can be sure if his/her own sexuality, and wouldn't consider him/herself bisexual or anything else.

Does it really matter if they like others? I'm rarely attracted to many people at all. By your defintion, I'm asexual.

No one is attracted to everybody on the planet, so yes, even one person counts in my opinion.

And you're repeating what I said: sexuality is very complicated.

Re: 139

[identity profile] lifeofgatsby.livejournal.com 2008-12-19 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
You say it's complicated but you're quick to pigeonhole everyone who has had maybe one thought about another into bisexuality?

I think you misinterpret my comments as encompassing an entire group as a whole, and I'm not making judgments on a full group. I'm just providing a valid point of view that may apply to SOME cases. :)

Omg, accidental anonymous post!

I'm going to pretend that last paragraph of yours isn't there.


People can identify as they choose, for a variety of complex reasons. I know women who identify as lesbians even though they're technically bisexual, because for reasons OTHER than sexual attraction, they are not ever interested in a relationship with a man.

Also, it's really condescending of people in this thread to speak as if all the people who aren't calling themselves bisexual don't KNOW exactly how their sexuality works. Some people might be a bit clueless or confused, but other people identify themselves as they see fit with full awareness of their own sexuality.

(And I AM bisexual, thank you.)

I don't like labels. As it is, I could say I'm a pineapple. Doesn't make me a pineapple. I think you should encompass everything a person is attracted to, every single little thing, and through that, a person's true sexuality is shown. Not by whatever label they WANT to put on themselves.

Taking that in account, I do respect anyone's wishes to refer to themselves however they want. It doesn't change the fact that, technically, they're incorrect labeling themselves as such. But they have a fundamental right to call themselves whatever they see fit.

But I don't like labels, as I said.

And I'm bisexual, too. ;)

Totally agree. :D

Seconding all of that!

Oh, that's just FABULOUS. Are you one of those people who also thinks that transsexuals aren't the gender they say they are, because, "just saying it doesn't make it true," despite whatever neurobiological evidence there might be to the contrary?

Sexuality. It doesn't have set, immutable properties for many people, and therefore any labels they are going to put on themselves are going to be filtered through - gasp! - the greater whole of their experiences and values.

AND IT'S NOT AN OBJECT. Nor is it comparable to one.

Why this isn't obvious, I don't know.

Re: 139

I don't know why you're arguing with someone who agrees with you. Peace out. :)
