Re: Can people really define these words for themselves?

(Anonymous) 2013-06-14 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
First example, it sounds like they could be operating off differing definitions of the word bisexual. Most bi people I've known have used to mean that they're attracted to any gender. That's also the [usual] definition of pansexual. However, there are a fair number of people [bi and otherwise] who use the definition that someone whose bi is only attracted to two genders. So...you can make the argument both are right, since both are definitions that are used for the term.

That girls friend needs to screw off. Unless they has some really in depth knowledge of asexuality *and* all the reasons behind their friend's lack of interest they really have nothing they should be saying there. Even if they do have both, the most they can really say is 'Hey, it really seems like you might be...'

Demisexuality is hard because it basically seems to boil down to 'I'm only attracted to my friends', which, as Noodle said, can be summed up in a lot of other ways too.

It's possible they haven't openly discussed the women she's been interested in, or simply hasn't discussed it with *you* for whatever reason. Honestly, aside from demisexual, queer is probably the term with the definition that stretched the farthest, so there's a lot that fits under it.

As a rule, most labels have definitions that can stretch to some extent, but also have some pretty obvious limits.

For example, lesbian *can* include women who've had sex and possibly even feelings for a guy...but probably not someone who currently still attracted to multiple men [since, imo, that falls more under bisexual], or someone whose only ever been interested in men [seeing as that would be far closer to 'straight'.]
