themeaningofbisexuality:Bisexuality is the attraction to two or more gendersDefining bisexuality as attraction to “both” sexes is intersex erasure and unscientific.Also this a definition often used by those who wish to misgender trans binary people and non-binary people by coercively defining people by the sex they were assigned at birth, and therefore equating sex to genitals.Both sex and gender are social constructs, and neither genitals nor chromosomes define someone’s gender identity.If a bisexual person defines their personal attraction as being to both sexes, they are intersex erasing and misgendering trans people and so should examine their definitions and learn not to erase and misgender people.If someone who isn’t bisexual uses this definition then, on top of the things I mention above, they are also being biphobic and it isn’t their place to tell the bisexual community how to define their sexuality. -- source link
