Bisexual
This is a community for bisexuals, their allies, friends, family, anyone curious about us or our community, or just people who want to hang out.
Bisexual means different things to different people, and I'm not going to tell you what it should mean to you. But one thing I will say is that being bisexual does NOT mean being trans-exclusionary. We love no matter what dingles, dongles, or dangles you do or do not have in your pants.
Of course, there are the basic rules. No hate speech, no brigading, no doxing, no homophobia, no transphobia, no sexism, no racism, no illegal material. Rules will be added as needed.
At the moment, we do not have a hard and fast rule over NSFW images or posts, but I will say that this is a community about bisexuality, not for porn. Please don't make me ban NSFW content altogether.

Bi can also mean attracted to the whole spectrum. Really, what it's come to mean is attracted to more than one sex/gender.
I agree with Fleur more that Bi means that you're attracted to multiple sexes/genders similar to pan, but pan is effectively genderblind whereas sex/gender is still a factor for bi folks, it's just not a factor that excludes most people.
But these definitions aren't entirely agreed on. If you feel more comfortable identifying as bi, that's fine. If you feel more comfortable identifying as pan, that's also fine. We're very, very similar to the point that it's common for people to not know the difference. The distinction appears to be more personal.
Even the Bisexual Manifesto, from the 90s, didn’t limit bisexuality to two genders. It hasn’t “come to mean” that recently. It pretty much always did.
