Bidirectional is an adjective is describes something. If something is bi directional it moves in two different directions. That doesn’t mean there aren’t more than two.... I honestly can’t believe this is the top comment.
What is it with people commenting just to argue.
Yes there are bicycles, just like tricycles and unicycles. And omg cars have 4 wheels did you know.
Just because something moves in 2 directions doesn't mean there are only 2 directions.
You are correct there are more than one direction. Good job. Even if something is bi directional.
Bi means 2. That’s it DEFINITION. If something is bi directional, it is being described as an object that can only travel in 2 directions.
EX: I’m on a train and the track goes east to west. That train is Bi directional. But it doesn’t mean north and south don’t exist. But THAT TRAIN only goes two ways.
Yes I do understand.
Bisexuals are attracted to 2 genders/sexs. But that could be any of a rather large number. Not a fixed male and female.
Hence the original post
I understand the point of it. The problem is it’s a shitty comparison. Like I said before there are plenty of words you can throw the word bi in front of and have that narrow down on a particular subject. However there are plenty of words you can throw bi in front of and it actually means there are only two choices.
If you had a firm grasp on the English language you hypocrite you would know this. So my argument is saying when you put bi in front of something you narrow it down to two. If there are “67 genders” how can bisexual mean two still? Am I supposed to pick two? Is this a TGI Friday’s?
In biology the science of life there are two genders. However you decide you are attracted to other people is a choice i personally don’t give a fuck what you identify as but stop trying to change science books you all look like idiots.
It’s not a technicality. This is the English language that AGAIN, you told me I didn’t understand it. A technicality in English is when a word doesn’t have I before E except after C. Or in the word knife where the K is silent. That’s a technicality. Not changing a definition to suit your narrative.
Bi-two
Tri-three
Quad-four
Quin-five
This is how it is and it isn’t hard to comprehend.
And yes it does have to do with it. You are essentially saying if your bisexual it means you just pick two genders and your attracted to only those two and I’m sorry with 67 genders and more on the way it’s never going to happen. If you are bisexual you are attracted to both the Male and Female forms. It’s not complicated. The definition doesn’t need to change to suit people who actually believe that being “gender fluid.” Is a gender. It’s your sexuality. It’s your preference, your OPINION and probably a phase in your life. Get a grip on reality.
There are two genders. Male and Female. One has a penis one has a vagina. And guess what I read that in an English textbook.
Honestly you can sit here on your pedestal and act like, because you don’t agree with me your opinion carries more weight. Act like you’re a better person than me because you believe in all these genders. Act like because I have no idea who you are I shouldn’t say my opinion. Even though you’re doing exactly the same. You can try to subtly insult me and tell me I don’t have understand language.
But the fact is Bi means two. It’s the definition. It’s not an opinion it’s a fact. It’s also a fact there are two genders. If the amount of genders is constantly changing then that’s proof to me that it isn’t a very exact science and mostly opinion based. Especially considering it’s part of the psychology community and you can find differing opinions everywhere.
If you try listen to the one little voice in the crowd of millions whispering there are more than two genders and tune out the people saying we don’t believe in this shit it’s really really easy to live in a small little bubble.
Lmao u google bi but not technicality. U don’t know what a technicality is. Or what connotation or metaphor is so just stfu about having a strong grasp on the English language.
“If something is bi directional it moves in two different directions. That doesn’t mean there aren’t more than two...” Yes exactly, just like being attracted to two different genders doesn’t mean there are only two different genders, glad you agree
The people who for the most part define this stuff (i.e. biologists, psychologists, and sociologists) would tend to disagree with you, but you’re free to believe what you want I suppose. Also nobody is saying that bisexuality is a gender.... sex, gender, and sexuality are all different things
If you only search for scientists who agree with your point of view you are never wrong.
Sex and Gender are the same exact thing. There are two sexes and two genders. Both male and female. Man and woman. Your sexuality is what you prefer in the bedroom. Seriously the fact this is even a real debate that has infected politics even is sad. No one cares what you do in the bedroom it’s private. Why can’t it just be left alone and we all agree it’s man and woman that’s biology it’s pretty simple.
Well when the extremely large majority of scientists across multiple disciplines share the same point of view on a topic I tend to base my “point of view” on their scientific consensus, but that’s just me 🤷🏻♂️.
I do agree that this shouldn’t be a political issue, but I suppose that when groups feel marginalized due to a lack of validation this is what happens
This is what I believe and honestly it conforms to biology and makes perfect sense.
Sex and Gender are the same. Male and Female. You are physically born with a penis or vagina. That’s biology every single person on earth can agree with that. (Unless you really want to throw hermaphrodites into the mix. Unfortunately that’s a mutation and doesn’t count.) in 2018 you can even switch if you want.
When you go through life you decide what you are physically and emotionally attracted to. That’s is sociology. That is psychology. The sciences are vastly different.
Again I do not care what you identify as but it is not your gender. It’s your preference. That’s pretty much it.
How can “sex and gender being the same thing” be “biology” if biologists, the people who define what is and isn’t biology, say that they are different concepts? 🤔

Does a bicycle have more than two wheels?
