I’d say your sexuality is “I like traditionally feminine people”.
Straight = opposite sex
Gay = same sex
Bi = both sexes
You’d be bi.
This is why I don’t like the IA+ LGBTQIA+. Q was a good stopping point because queer is such a great way of saying “it’s complicated but not straight.”
Queer is a nice big tent we can all get under instead of performative labeling or over complication.
You’re bi and you have a type.
I love this answer. It’s perfect.
That’s me
idk I don’t wanna call myself bi cause I’m not into most men I’ve ever met, I don’t wanna mislead people
The thing about labels is that their usage depends on the particular context at time of use. I have a friend who is non binary, for example, but finds herself weary of explaining how someone can be femme presenting, use she/her pronouns, and be non binary. This means that when talking to people who aren’t LGBTQ, she finds “lesbian” is the most effective label to communicate, even though it’s a label she has largely outgrown the truth of. For some people, how they engage with identity labels is quite straightforward, and they present the same labels out to the entire world. For other people, more nuance is needed, and that’s okay too.
That is to say that if you read the above comment and thought “bi but with a type sounds like me, but I don’t want to call myself bi”, that’s fine. Labels like “bi” can help make oneself be more legible to the world at large, but you do not owe the world that. You are allowed to have complexity that doesn’t neatly fit into simple labels, and even if you did strongly identify with a label, you’re not obligated to divulge this freely.
You’re heteroflexible?
Neither are more gay men and straight women.
I wish people didn’t hyperfixate on labels so much these days. I feel like it causes more problems than it solves in terms of creating an identity someone needs to stick to instead of letting people just be themselves.
Agreed.
The desire to subdivide ourselves appears to have been very beneficial to the ruling class in many ways.
Agreed, fuck who you like and who wants to fuck you, why must something as complex and messy as your slice of humanity be categorized?
Probably bisexual, but you’ve got a type.
Yeah. Let’s not overcomplicate it. They’re bi with a preference for femininity.
labels are useless last a certain point. you’re you and that’s all that matters.
if you absolutely need to pick a label (for a doctor’s form or whatever) bi would be what I would choose since what they’re really asking there is what genders do you sleep with.
You’re horny.
Sounds like bi with a femme preference
I think trying to define it is fairly pointless. We love what we love and we lust what we lust. Rather than defining it, I wish we could all just accept that and stop hating people for having different preferences.
Yep, but sometimes you want to communicate about your preferences, and then you need understandable terminology. Giving names to phenomena is generally useful. Discussing things is useful. Understanding natural diversity is great and important.
Fair point but I’m not sure that naming every permutation is possible. We might be better off trying to make do with charts or something.
Yes.
Yep. We don’t give names for people who like red and their second favourite colour is yellow.
Just be yourself, be kind to others and move on.
This was the term I’ve heard, but damn does it sound terfy…
probably because it sounds close to gynophilia
There’s also ‘neptunic’, which sounds like what you’re describing, plus attraction to androgyny.
Fucked if I know the new terms but for my entire 20+ years of sexually active life, you would be classified as bi. But like I said or implied, Im old as fuck and have no clue what the currently accepted term may be. If I need to know the new sexuality/gender terms then im fucking a woman who is way too young than I should be fucking with. Thats a statement of the types of people who live in my area and not a blanket statement that no older individuals use current sexuality identities.
Sapphic, perhaps.
Find your limitation, become a label.
