Yeah as a trans woman I’ve never seen someone identify as bi and thought “I shouldn’t hit on her” because of that label. And if I also found men attractive I’d almost certainly use that label.

teslekova@sh.itjust.works 1 day agoNah, that’s the annoying myth that bi people hate. My partner is trans, and transitioned during our relationship, and I always joke that as a lazy bisexual this is perfect for me.
Really it’s just old people (millenials) call it bi, and you young whipper-snappers with your eight track tapes get all pedantic about the sound of the word.

I’m into more than two, but not all genders.

“bisexual” doesn’t mean “men and women”. It means “homo and hetero”, as in “those of my gender and not of my gender”.
Which is exactly what “pansexual” also means.

I’m into My own gender and some other genders but not all other genders. I’m not pan, because I’m not into all genders.

The bisexual erasure’s final form: generational.

Yeah, generational, it grew branches. The phonetics of “bi” matter and the language is evolving. But we totally get the Bi doesn’t mean two genders for that generation of queers that reached for that word.
