Bisexual: may use the same definitions as a polysexual, omnisexual, or pansexual person
Polysexual: overlaps in meaning with bisexual
Omnisexual: overlaps in meaning with bisexual and pansexual
Pansexual: overlaps in meaning with bisexual and omnisexual

Jesus christ people, get a grip on yourselves and stop over-complicating the shit out of everything.

And neither of them describe a legit bisexual flavor, the one which is trans exclusionary.

I skimmed the comments and see some of them got a little sense.

Man I love this community but if a infographic is necessary maybe its getting a little pedantic

If I'm understanding this correctly there are infinite valid sexualities with complicated, nuanced shades of meaning that differentiate one from the other but you can just call yourself anything and that's still valid uwu because it's up to the individual.

Make up your minds, cretins.

Unless you call yourself SuperStraight/Gay/Lesbian/Bi. That is invalid, because how dare you exclude us from your dating pool!

It’s almost like sex is a binary system that leaves only four possibilities for sexual attraction regardless of how many words you make up to describe those four possibilities.

bi literally refers to "two"

"bisexual means attraction to more than one gender"

???

Huh, don't get me started... I once got an argument in that stupid subreddit with someone who told me to educate myself when I told him that bi in Latin means two.

Another time another user said that "two" means "two type of genders": your own and all the other ones.

They are so goddamn stupid.

I genuinely don't know what they mean by "attraction" when talking about it in this context. It is clearly not sexual, despite the names, because gender apparently has nothing to do with what you have on your body.

I remember when I tried to explain the purported distinctions between these to someone else after hearing about them for the first time and I just realized that this was unexplainable nonsense. You are bisexual if you’re attracted to both sexes but if you’re only attracted to one sex and whatever gender criteria, own your heterosexuality (more likely) or homosexuality, get a goddamn grip, get out of your head, and move on with your life.

As a lesbian I don’t really feel the need to parse out an even more specific definition for myself based on what hypothetical women I would or would not fuck. If your sexual orientation depends on increasingly unlikely hypothetical scenarios, then you probably aren’t having sex anyway, so maybe focus your energies on something more productive?
