seriously though bisexuality being defined as attraction to men and women is a heterosexual’s definition of bisexuality actual bisexual groups and organizations have been defining it as attraction to two or more genders or same and other genders since the nineties and plenty of nb people actually id as bi and refusing to accept how we define ourselves is so absurdly biphobic and heterosexist and jfc it’s 2014 can other queer people fucking realize and acknowledge this

The purple stripe on the bi flag is meant to represent attraction to nb genders and the bisexual manifesto published in Anything That Moves includes the lines “Do not assume that bisexuality is binary or duogamous in nature … In fact, don’t assume that there are only two genders.” That was published in 1990. It’s older than a lot of people here, including me, and older than terms like “pansexual” and “polysexual” by at least a decade. Bi history is important.

Why’s it called bisexual if you can be attracted to more than two genders? Bc the root “bi” means two, not two or more. And then what’s the difference between bi and pan?

I agree with the person above me. I thought bi meant two and pan meant all? So what is the diff between bi and pan? Just curious

@crybbyxnympth @brittany-thegoodwitch there is no difference. bi has always meant “genders like and unlike” one’s own, as this entire post above you has just said, bi has never been exclusionary and bi came way before pan and all that. pansexuality and all those other “all” encompassing labels were mostly borne out of biphobic ideologies or ideologies that believed that trans ppl are “other” and cannot be included in bisexuality, which is both biphobic and transphobic.

they are diff words for th exact same thing.

Months are a good example for this. September means 7 but is the 9th month of the year, same case with November and December.
