I'm bisexual and I exist.
I'm happy that we're talking about GL(BTQ) issues, but that doesn't mean we should erase bisexual, pansexual, transgender, transsexual, genderqueer, queer, questioning, and two-spirit folks.

We all face different challenges, but a lot of our challenges are the same.

4. We're all bisexual.
There are more 1s and 5s on Kinsey than there are 0s and 6s.

8. I had to rec this for honesty
I feel that is not a choice you make just as anxiety is not a choice I made. We're born the way we are and thats the way it is. Everyone needs to learn to live with it. All of us or most of us have our little quirks only difference is some of us are honest about it. :hi:

12. If I understand what he's getting at...
It's the belief in many tribal societies that one person can have both a male and a female soul, with all the attendant outlooks and personality that could conceivably bring with it. It's a little different than TS, as rather than being one gender i nthe wrong body, it's being both genders at the same time.

I could be off-base, just making a guess.

...... "he didn't understand it."


People need to get over their bullsh*t. As George Clinton says, "Free your mind and your ass will follow."
