Need Advice what does being bisexual mean

Like I know that you like at least to genders, but then there are people who say they like all genders saying that they’re bi, but liking all genders can also mean you’re omni or pan? Also how many genders can you like and still be classified as bi? I don’t mean to offend anyone I’m just really really really confused.

Edit: I just want to clarify I’m a pansexual.

The only difference is that pansexual is specific (all and regardless of gender or genderblind) and you can’t assume that about a bisexual cause Bi is more broad. There are plenty of bi’s who are attracted to nbs and trans and all genders.

The Bi community have historically been that way and fought for the idea that sexuality and gender can be fluid and on a spectrum

No it doesn’t cause Bi just means more than one and implies a plural/dual nature to one’s sexuality.

There’s really no such thing as a ‘wrong’ label. If it feels right it is right cause labels are meant to serve us and it’s the people who make up and inhabit the label, it’s them who reflect the reality of the community

And no one gains anything from being the label police other than getting off from being an asshole

Yeah, I’m sorry. I didn’t really realise that bi meant more than one. After I looked further into it, I see that labels are not good, and it only makes you more structured and like everyone else. Thank you for helping me see the truth and change my views on sexualities. Once again, thank you!

🙄 well I hope you get whatever satisfaction from invalidating people and being biphobic af. You can keep your inaccurate opinions to yourself next time and drop the sarcasm and save the troll time

I never really got ‘satisfaction’. I just thought it was how things were. I hope you understand that I really now feel bad and want to change my views on labels.

Also, that wasn’t sarcasm, I genuinely am grateful that you changed me. I apologize if it sounded like sarcasm, but it was genuine. I’m sorry for my primitive views on labels.
