Bisexual

This is a community for bisexuals, their allies, friends, family, anyone curious about us or our community, or just people who want to hang out.

Bisexual means different things to different people, and I'm not going to tell you what it should mean to you. But one thing I will say is that being bisexual does NOT mean being trans-exclusionary. We love no matter what dingles, dongles, or dangles you do or do not have in your pants.

Of course, there are the basic rules. No hate speech, no brigading, no doxing, no homophobia, no transphobia, no sexism, no racism, no illegal material. Rules will be added as needed.

At the moment, we do not have a hard and fast rule over NSFW images or posts, but I will say that this is a community about bisexuality, not for porn. Please don't make me ban NSFW content altogether.

Pan seems to be gender blind, i.e. attracted to people with no regard to gender or attracted to all genders.

Bi has one definition in being attracted to both men and women, both sides of a binary.

Bi also has a less common usage to mean attracted to more than one gender which may or may not include both halves of the binary or the entire spectrum.

So if I like the whole spectrum I'm pan? For fucks sake, what am I gonna do with all the bi stuff I made

Keep it? I think Bi is the big umbrella which contains pan, omni and poly/multi.

I heard of omni but what is poly/multi? I'm new to the terminology

S'okay. I'm pretty new to it myself. I'm reading articles and stuff as I write this.

Using this as a reference: Pan is gender blind, omni is all genders but gender does matter and may include preference, poly is more than 2 but not all genders. Bi is a big tent that includes all of these.
