The obsession with sexuality is really weird Heterosexuals aren’t expected to define their exact preferences So why should bisexuals have to why can’t they simply fuck whoever they want without being analysed

Sometimes I feel like the only reason I have a “word” for my sexual orientation to begin with is the fact that people are obsessed with classifying it. I could go “unlabeled,” but I guess that’ll get people wondering who could be a potential partner for me (plot twist: I don’t care about gender at all. I’m pan.)

Honestly this is why I just say everyone that isn’t extremely straight is queer. Definitely controversial but if queer means “not straight” then everyone who isn’t straight is queer. And most folks agree queer is just “not straight.” I dunno what the fuck I am but I ain’t straight so I’m queer. It’s enough for me and for lots of folks I know. It’s much clearer this way I think

I dunno I’ve had plenty of folks (usually who identify as gay or lesbian) say they aren’t queer, they’re gay or lesbian. I think it’s just that crowd of old guard exclusionary gays usually.

It’d be pretty cool if we could get to a point as a society where we stopped talking about sexuality as discrete categories all together, and everyone was just super laissez-faire about having relationships, romantic or otherwise.

The good kind of laissez-faire

Every person must be categorized as precisely as possible so they can be properly judged by class, race, gender, sexuality, disability, ideology, religion, fashion, etc. Otherwise how would I know how much visible disgust to show when looking at them?

Once at an STD screening I told a nurse I had had male and female partners (and NB partners but didn’t think that was relevant to the question) and the nurse said “so you’re bisexual then”.

I shrugged and said “I think I’m just a slut”.

She was amused.

Actually bisexuality has almost nothing to do with geometry

What is this meant to say?

my reading is that gender is a spectrum with fuzzy edges and therefore bisexuality is also a spectrum with fuzzy edges. and realistically, so is cisheterosexuality as well, when unshackled from reactionary notions of gender and sex.
