The obsession with sexuality is really weird Heterosexuals aren't expected to define their exact preferences So why should bisexuals have to why can't they simply fuck whoever they want without being analysed

Sometimes I feel like the only reason I have a "word" for my sexual orientation to begin with is the fact that people are obsessed with classifying it. I could go "unlabeled," but I guess that'll get people wondering who could be a potential partner for me (plot twist: I don't care about gender at all. I'm pan.)
Why hello there Pan nice to meet you!
Oil me up, buttercup! 
Duh, gotta get you seasoned. 
That's good for you I hope you find someone that can fulfill you emotionally and sexually
Oh, I already found that person! Guess who it is?

Who?
Honestly this is why I just say everyone that isn't extremely straight is queer. Definitely controversial but if queer means "not straight" then everyone who isn't straight is queer. And most folks agree queer is just "not straight." I dunno what the fuck I am but I ain't straight so I'm queer. It's enough for me and for lots of folks I know. It's much clearer this way I think
I think this is objective fact 
I dunno I've had plenty of folks (usually who identify as gay or lesbian) say they aren't queer, they're gay or lesbian. I think it's just that crowd of old guard exclusionary gays usually.
To be more charitable there are also lgbt people of older generations who may've had "queer" used as a slur against them, which is important to consider imo.
But I generally tend to view "queer" as an umbrella for all legbutt stuff, so 
For sure. When an older gay tells me they aren't queer I'm not a dick about it, I'm happy to accept any label they want. I just think that normalizing a broader umbrella usage of queer is important long term.
Exactly i would argue most people are a bit queer and that's fine
comrade...Every person must be categorized as precisely as possible so they can be properly judged by class, race, gender, sexuality, disability, ideology, religion, fashion, etc. Otherwise how would I know how much visible disgust to show when looking at them?

That's what it feels like man
Once at an STD screening I told a nurse I had had male and female partners (and NB partners but didn't think that was relevant to the question) and the nurse said "so you're bisexual then".
I shrugged and said "I think I'm just a slut".
She was amused.
Actually bisexuality has almost nothing to do with geometry
Tell that to all the hot time cubes
Almost nothing
What is this meant to say?
my reading is that gender is a spectrum with fuzzy edges and therefore bisexuality is also a spectrum with fuzzy edges. and realistically, so is cisheterosexuality as well, when unshackled from reactionary notions of gender and sex.
This has been left as an exercise for the reader.

The gradient just shifts and I'm getting more comfortable with that.
wtf is that gradient, HSV? Use a perceptually uniform color space, thanks.
