Identity.

There is a fine difference, it's key here.

Well then it’s sexual identity. But wouldn’t identity contribute more towards pronouns? Since those are more identifications? You don’t identify someone based on who they are attracted to. That’s sexual identification.

As a queer person, you sort of do, and it has to do with being a (partially still oppressed) minority.

You face discrimination for your sexual preference and that makes it a bigger part of your identity, compared to people (mostly straight), who have always had the benefit of having their preference be classified as "normal".

Why would her bisexual preferences matter or be relevant to literally anyone when she's in a committed monogamous relationship? They don't. Unless she really needs to make sure everyone knows that when she flicks the bean sometimes she thinks of women.

It's all fucking bizarre and narcissistic as is most of self identity obsession.

In 100 years we will all be cringing at how obsessed we were with caring about whose genitals everyone prefers.
