CALLING BISEXUALS
I’m developing a dating-sim style game about bisexuality for my Gamification of Learning class and if you reply you would be helping me sooo much
What is the most offensive or uninformed thing someone has said to you or someone you love regarding your sexuality?
boost!
A gay man: "Yes, I also went through a bisexual phase."
A straight woman: "I know you're bisexual, but I think you're going to end up with a woman" "But you're really a lesbian right?" "What do you mean, if you fall in love with a man?"
Countless pansexuals: "Bi means two! Bisexuals like two genders, unlike pansexuals who like ALL genders. Bisexuals are binarists!" (Ignoring that the 'bisexual' term was not created by bisexuals. It was createdby Charles Gilbert Chaddock, in his 1892 translation of Kraft-Ebing's Psychopathia Sexualis, in an attempt to pathologize bisexual behavior, and many bisexuals are trying to reclaim and redefine the term.)
The RAE's dictionary (The official Spanish dictionary) definition of bisexuality: "1. Hermaphrodite. 2. A persona who alternates between homosexual and heterosexual practices." (Implies it's impossible to be monogamous and bisexual, completely ignores sexual attraction t focus on "practices" (And what does that even mean, anyway?))
