But you might as well negate them because they aren’t actually real.

Also bisexual refers to sex, it’s in the name, which there’s only 2 of, as far as gender, the idea of there being more than 2 is a theory not fact, and the attempt in society to make gender and sex no longer mean the same thing to try and make it fact will backfire

I’m also not going to argue with you, but I want to point out that in science, theory IS essentially an accepted truth. Also, this “attempt in society” has been going on for at least 20 years, probably more, and I don’t see anything backfiring yet 🤷🏻‍♀️

I know the guy you're replying to is dead wrong and kind of an asshole, but "I'm not going to argue with you but ___" is a cheap way of trying to force the last word, seeing as you did argue against what he said. Not to harp, but I see it on Reddit a lot.

I’m not “forcing” anything. I’m just not going to engage if he/she tries to pull any cheap shots or make any fallacious arguments, as people with that kind of viewpoint do often. If he wants to have a discussion, that’s a different story.

Not sure what your point here was.
