OH MY GAW YES!

This is exactly the problem with this (and also with the dismissive “everyone’s a bit genderqueer/fluid/etc” genderqueer and fluid people get). I could never put down my annoyance with the idea in words- but that’s exactly the problem. Yes. Thank you.

If past sexual experiences were the determinant of sexual orientation, a lot more people would be bisexual and all virgins would be asexual.

You know what I find more frustrating? “All girls are bi, but no guys are.” I’m a woman and supposedly that’s supposed to make me feel vindicated but unsurprisingly it doesn’t.

Mmm. I know a couple of people who were angry with themselves because they “didn’t believe in gender” and thus tried to enforce “everyone’s bi” on themselves – and were ashamed of their inability to transcend their monosexuality.

Not only does it trivialise bisexuality, but it erases the potential acceptability of not being bisexual. I’m far more familiar with it being used as a tool of sexual coercion – “c’mon, everyone’s a little bit bi, you should try, open your mind” – than any sort of liberation from limitations.

I recognise that some of that is backlash against the stupidities of a monosexual world, but that doesn’t precisely make it less of a problem.

Nobody asks heterosexuals if they have to have sex with a MOTOS to answer whether or not they’re straight – that question is exclusively asked of bi and gay folks.
