DiscussionDoes anyone else feel weird describing themselves as their sexual orientation, because the words have become so watered-down now?

I say I'm interested in both sexes to avoid the bigenderal 'sex is a spectrum' bullshit.

Since bisexuality manifests differently from person to person - preferring one over the other, only wanting to do one thing with women and another thing with men - it started off being pretty watered down already. I don't associate with men much, which lets me avoid the men who 'discovered' they were 'bisexual' after watching BDSM sissy porn or some shit, and I'm happy about that because I found they tend to be misogynistic (having sex for the sake of it, having sex with any hole). I don't talk to minors for casual conversation, so I'm mostly around bisexuals who aren't looking for attention and don't think it's a cool label.

I found that there are women at any age who will say they're bisexual but are obviously straight.

I am pissed that despite bisexuality literally being the most inclusive sexuality, TRAs and libfems managed to spin it so that it requires even more intersectionality.

I am in the UK btw. People here a bit more sane, queer isn't really a thing, but I see organisations pushing for it. It might be more of a thing in universities, but I wouldn't know that.
