@justalonelypix@Scatterfong@alIthemadmen and that’s the kind of bullshit OP was talking about. if bisexuality meant (and it doesn’t) attraction to only cis people, it would imply trans men aren’t men and trans women aren’t women.
@SomeDrawerGirl@alIthemadmen and despite the harmful nature of labels on confining behaviour, they are also used to create and find community and are a way of expression. through labels we show that experiences and groups actually exist.
@SomeDrawerGirl@alIthemadmen bisexuality has been used to define attraction to all genders since the late 80s. if we are going to “respect the original meaning of the words”, the term was originally used in english to describe intersex people.
