[–] magic_smoke@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 7 months ago (1 child) I've heard that. I've heard bi used to mean you're attracted to more than one gender but not all. Also heard and used it interchangeably with pan. I say this as someone who's pan and called themselves bi for most of their life. So long as you can communicate the sorta people you wanna fuck I think that's the important part. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Vorticity@lemmy.world 7 points 7 months ago (1 child) It seems like, while labels are important for communication, they are just unable to capture all of the nuance when it comes to sexuality and gender. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Robaque@feddit.it 3 points 7 months ago* After all, that's how all labels work (and perhaps even words in general?). They try to capture meaning, at best failing to do so (endlessly "approaching" it, always a step behind the evolution of language), and at worst ensaring peoples' thoughts and ideas. permalink fedilink source parent
