Hey, not a problem! I enjoy seeing the discussions here and thank you for your contributions as well!

Yes, I'm not a fan of the word "queer", it used to be used as an insult towards us. In school, I was called other derogatory terms such as f*ggot and tr*nny. I don't know why they want to revive a terrible word.

I've met some old school bisexuals that are completely unaware of the "queer", culture--lucky them! But...they had their own issues(e.g. drugs. )

I found it interesting that the Super Movement lasted as long as it did on reddit and curated a LOT of attention and members! They weren't even mean about not being attracted to trans people. They called trans people like Blaire White allies.

Personally, I'm not attracted to trans people but if others are than that's fine--as long as I don't get called a "transphobic bigot". I can sympathize a bit with regular trans/transmedicalist people since I used to be one until I detransitioned. I know there's some people who wouldn't want to date bisexuals either, and I'm not offended at all. I tell the people I date beforehand that I am so they're not caught by surprise.

It's true that there is a lot of support from bisexual people towards TRA. Tbh, I think bisexuals are also the backbone of the LGBTQ+ in general. I posted a video earlier about "Leave out the B" or something or other from BisexualRealTalk YouTube Channel---and basically this bi guy was stating how we're the majority from the group but have the LEAST amount of resources. We're always supporting other people instead of each other. Hardly any media, or entertainment and I have yet to hear of a "bisexual bar".

I can relate COMPLETELY with thinking I was a bisexual lesbian for the longest time!! I envied men and wanted to be like them, while I ONLY had attraction towards women since grade school. So, I thought in order to be "normal", I had to transition. I agree with you that in order to be bi, one most be attracted to both men and women. That's it, that's the ONLY requirement. I found out later in life that I liked men after nearly two decades of liking only women and thinking I was asexual at one point(it was due to depression, found nobody attractive lol).

Your good haha, I enjoy seeing comments like these! I tend to ramble a lot too, so sometimes what I wrote may be a bit incoherent.

Ah, I forgot to mention within my rambling---I feel mostly positive about the SuperBi movement but ..It feels too young for me...I cannot relate to them very well with their "Hecking valid uwu" types of posts and their...furries...I joined their SuperStraight discord channel and it was awkward. I don't normally use platforms like discord, but using it to talk to a friend.

Edit: Word lmao
