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.
Find your limitation, become a label.
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 bi and you have a type.
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, fuck who you like and who wants to fuck you, why must something as complex and messy as your slice of humanity be categorized?
Agreed.
The desire to subdivide ourselves appears to have been very beneficial to the ruling class in many ways.
Probably bisexual, but you've got a type.
Yeah. Let’s not overcomplicate it. They’re bi with a preference for femininity.
You're horny.
If you're looking for a technical term, you would fall under gynosexual. But even with the term: only you can truly define your own sexuality.
Yeah gynosexual or gynephilic is how I describe myself
I’d say I generally lean the same way, and I consider myself bi.
Sapphic, perhaps.
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. 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.
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.
This was the term I've heard, but damn does it sound terfy...
probably because it sounds close to gynophilia
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.
From Fetlife's Kinktionary:
Finsexual: Usually refers to a person who is attracted to femininity regardless of a person’s gender identity. Is sometimes considered more inclusive than Gynesexual (as the prefix "gyne" focuses on female anatomy).
Depending on your gender you're heteroflexible or homoflexible
which are 2 types of bi
Labels exist to describe what is. You don't need to fit neatly into a category. You like who you like, and you shouldn't apologize for it.
Like for me, I'm attracted to the late Andre Braugher portraying the gay man Captain Holt on Brooklyn 99 when he's pretending to be straight and describing his fictitious partner's heavy breasts. Nothing sexier than that, but the brain trust at Oxford hasn't come up with a word for that one yet.
Oh fuck you! I was not prepared to learn one of my favorite sitcom characters is dead. Fuck me, now I gotta Google how he passed.
My condolences. He died too soon.
Bi but with a type?
I'm assuming you're male? If so, this sounds like an exact description of my sexuality. If someone really wants specifics, I usually just say "I like femmes/femininity" or "I'm not into mascs." But 99% of the time I just say I'm straight. Seems accurate enough to me
