daarntootin replied to your post “I also read a post about bisexual = attraction to your own gender and...”
I’ve understood it to mean that bisexual people are attracted people of their own gender identity and those that have different identities. As someone who ids as non-binary and bisexual I’m confused as to how that definition excludes me. I’m nb and I am attracted to other nb people as well as people who don’t id as nb.
some non-binary people have very specific gender identities and many non-binary people struggle to fit into the ‘same-gender attracted’ model. non-binary is an umbrella term with a lot of specific identities sitting under that.
for example, a non-binary person who was attracted to men & women would not be classed as ‘bisexual’ under this definition.
or a trans guy who is attracted to women & non-binary people (but not men) would not be classed as bisexual either
