When I was in fourth grade, I was sitting with my cello, waiting for my orchestra concert to begin. The cello was on the floor, but I was seated in my section in a long dress with my knees spread wide, and my elbows on my thighs. My mom - in the audience - gestured to me for five minutes to sit “properly,” and when I didn’t follow her instructions, she came up...

Well, no, not only intersex people.
Keep in mind that gender is an identity, not a biological sex. You are reffering to only biological sexes.
There are many genders people can be attracted to:
male
female
bi-gender
a-gender
genderqueer
third gender
ect.
So no, some people are only attracted to people who associate themselves with their biological gender, or those who only...

Binary and Biphobia →
vegansexy:
More arguments on the “bisexuality as a term reinforces a gender binary” conversation.
Gathering my thoughts, will post something soon-ish on the subject.
Really it is not all that big a deal. Shouldn’t we all be concentrating on more serious issues than fighting to the death over what word to use?
Also with greatest respect but BISEXUALS define what bisexuality is. No one...

sempiterna:
As is bisexuality. Bisexuality is often portrayed as a phase and bisexuals often get portrayed as confused.

Straight, Gay or Lying? Bisexuality Revisited ... →

gws642:
How many of us have seen this terrible article from a few years back? It’s about a badly done study on bisexuality, and it claims that bisexuality doesn’t exist in men. Sadly, it’s still the fourth link that pops up when you google “bisexuality.”
:( It’s the second for me… Ugh…
This article is the reason my parents don’t seem to believe in...

Faux bisexuality is incredibly (annoying) Untrue! →
bisexual-community:
katleroux:
I’m a strong supporter of gay rights. I protested on the no side when religious extremists and Mormons everywhere were using out of state funding to make gay marriage illegal in California. I have friends and family who are from the LGBT community, as well as followers on here… and of course I love them all.
What seriously pisses me off is faux bisexuality.

inconsequentialramblings:
At all times I am attracted to both genders. But my crushes swing one way or another at different periods of time.
For two years it was quietly girls then over the summer HORMONE EXPLOSION and it was girls girls girls on the mind 24/7.
Then in the last two months it’s been guys. I have a mad mad crush on a guy for the first time since 8th grade. But I have never had...

I really shouldn't have to say this again but
yeahitsokay:
BISEXUALS define what bisexuality is. No one else. If you are not bisexual and want to provide someone with a definition of bisexuality, link to something like this from a bisexual advocacy organization than attempting to make up your own. You may get something wrong, and it’s also kind of busted to try and define any group you aren’t a part of anyway.
Really people it...

You know we see that question a lot, so we put our answer here. Then just today we saw this cool picture and explanation from a Spanish person who lives in Denmark whom made this wonderful graphic that shows how Bisexuality is an umbrella concept.
Hope it helps.

WHAT DOES BIPHOBIA LOOK LIKE? →
mausii:
Copied from here because I wanted it to be in a text post, so people would read it.
I’ve bolded statements that bear extra truth. The experiences I’ve had today after letting slip in an office full of straight (or straight acting) people that I’m bisexual has worn me out.
Biphobia, funnily enough, seems to be OK. I imagine if I’d come out as gay, things might have been a little...

Bisexual isn't about there being only "two sexes" →
frozen-in-tyme:
Some people get hung up on the ‘bi’ and protest that gender isn’t binary. They claim that identifying as bisexual is tantamount to saying trans people don’t exist, or that you’re not attracted to them, or that you’re only into masculine men and feminine women. However many people using the identity “bisexual” disagree.
In traditional dictionaries:
Homosexual is defined as...
