“hetero” means “different” not “opposite”. The source would be any dictionary mentioning the root.

rockSlayer@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoDo you have a resource to confirm what you’re saying? Because homosexual means same sex and heterosexual is opposite sex. Bisexual would be both sexes by that reasoning

Your snarky comment about better understanding bisexuality and pansexuality does very little for my actual request for resources.

There you go. A website that says exactly the same thing I just said.

You’re getting too caught up in the dictionary definition of
hetero-. Yes I misspoke about what heterosexual means and was wrong about that, but that’s not the core of my misunderstanding. I’m asking for resources pertaining to the differences between pansexuality and bisexuality. I want resources that dispell my previous notion that bisexuality is about sex whilst pansexuality is about gender.

“Heteros” means “dfferent”, not " opposite"
