Is bisexuality really "not gay and not straight?"
Bisexuals pls educate the class, I assumed it's just like the middle of the sexuality spectrum not an entirely different axis
It's both 100% gay and 100% straight
Fully gay and fully straight, like some sort of Christological formula, lol.
You need fully trans in there for the triune sexuality
The first Tricumvirate
More like tricumpirate yargh my pegussy lmao gotem
”Not gay and not straight”
Bisexuality
Asexuality
most monosexuals think like this because of bi erasure and the idea of a gay-straight dichotomy. it's like if you're from a culture where "purple" was never really a color, and then when it catches on people start thinking of it more as "red-blue" than a color in its own right. also, a little more complicated than that:
think of a bilingual person who speaks both spanish and english. are they somewhere "in the middle" between spanish monolingualism and english monolingualism? no, that would be like, spanglish. bilinguals know both, leading to their own unique experiences/challenges/ways of thinking
edit: also, despite the prefix, bisexuality isn't restricted to 2 genders
I guess I just saw the spectrum as a measure of exclusion, so I figured a bi person would be in the middle.
(My stemlord ass immediately was like "oh so it's like codominance instead of incomplete dominance")
