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.

My apologies for posting again. I’m actually just curious.

Bisexuality tends to refer to liking both men and women, and more practically speaking, many bisexual people simply have attraction regardless of gender, without a specific label changing that in any drastic way (e.g. they're also attracted to some nonbinary individuals, for instance)

If you find yourself exclusively attracted to one gender, then you probably wouldn't want to call yourself bisexual, because you only find yourself attracted to a single one, unlike what I think most bisexual people would say qualifies you as bisexual, which is attraction to more than one gender.

I said this on another (now removed) post: This account looks pretty sus. Lots of click-bait and rage-bait questions and contradictions in a short time.

To expand: In one post it's a cis woman only attracted to men/boys, in another it's trying to find a woman to date, then it's wondering why people are upset that it poses as a gay transmasc man online in another. Now apparently bi but not attracted to women. [record scratch] Plus it can lift like an Olympic athlete but won't prove it and can shoot hoops like nobody's business but tall women get in it's way. Or something, I stopped paying attention to the details at some point.

And now, in one post identifies as straight, maybe bi curious and doesn't care about homophobia because as a bi person she doesn't experience it, and then minutes later in another post is a lesbian who only likes men.

If she's real, she's got some incredibly powerful OCD and should maybe stop thinking so much about labels.

I'm mostly betting they're a troll though.

The "I don't want to be straight, anything but straight" talk was a dead giveaway. I don't know how people took it seriously.

(I guess this post continues that same "anything but straight" line.)

By definition, no.

No, but there's not shame in not being bi. Everyone is different and diverse in their own way, and that's beautiful. You should be true to who you are.

It's up to each person to define their own sexual and romantic orientations, and no one has to explain or justify it.
