What Bisexuality means to me: Okay so here is a definition of Bisexuality from the Human Rights Campaign: “A person who can be attracted to more than one gender…” This means that someone who is bisexual is attracted to more than one gender. The thing about being bisexual (or bi for short) is that you get a lot of questions like: 1. Is this the same as pansexual? 2. Are you just gay and not willing to admit it? 3. So there’s a 50/50 chance that you could still be straight, right? 4. Are you in love with my sister/brother/me? (Okay this one’s easy to answer, but we’ll get to that in a minute.) So what I’m going to do here today is try and answer them but *disclaimer* these are how *I* answer them, meaning that the answers to the questions will be answered differently by everyone bisexual person you meet :) 1. No, this is similar to pansexuality, but not the same. If you are pansexual, you are probably attracted to people because of their personality, not their appearance or gender and (correct me if i’m wrong on that) and with that, there’s a whole spectrum! 2. NO! If someone comes out as Bi to you, that doesn’t mean they’re gay. This might only be the case if their family or someone they know doesn’t support gay/lesbian people but support bisexual people, which in this case they would be using to protect themselves. 3. No. If someone says they’re bi, then they’re bi, and even though they might be in a typical “straight” relationship, they are still bisexual and that does not change. 4. Unless I say I have a crush on your siblings or you, then I probably don’t or just don’t want to tell you. Just because i’m not straight, doesn’t mean I don’t have standards. Well, that about wraps it up, but I do have another disclaimer. I myself am on the bisexual spectrum, meaning that I like both boys and girls and anyone on the gender spectrum. For me, bisexual fits the most, but I sometimes flux between pan, bi, aroace, and gay. I hopes this message on what bisexuality means to me clears up some confusion and I hope you have a great day :D
Just general trigger warnings I suppose :) If you have any questions, I’ll try to answer them!!! Please no hate. If you comment something inappropriate or hateful, I will report you :D
