Hey as long as we’ve got experts here, could a purely non binary person be considered gay or heterosexual in any configuration or are they always bisexual? Even if only as a limitation of the language?
To elaborate on that I am nonbinary and bisexual myself and without missing a beat it’s like every non-binary person I meet is also bisexual. And that’s all good and all feels very natural, and nobody should feel pressured to be anything else
But like, if I was trying to not be bisexual, what would that look that? Would I just start listing specific preferences and the orientation just wouldn’t have a particular name?
How about you stop force-labelling people and just love what you love and let others love without judgment?
Oh, are you one of those people who just skim over random words from a paragraph and respond based on the vibe of what you think was said?
Nope. Responded to your whole message.
Please elaborate what you are hinting at.
There is no hinting. I am directly accusing you of interpretive cherry picking, with the added politeness of suggesting that it may be unintentional. I will continue to be polite in this fashion, although I have growing doubts as to your sincerity.
Since you read that, what about it sounded judgy and prescriptivist?
Ah. After writing my comment I thought that I should change "judgment" to "labelling".
By judgment I did not mean negative judging, but judging an orientation to everyone, which in retrospect I realise is not grammatically correct at all.
My point was, why must all orientations need labels?
I see, thank you for clarifying
Continuing from this clarification, I have not suggested anything that anyone must do
As I reread my initial message and the many relaxed and positive replies from others, I feel like what I’m saying is clearly very different from your summary, which is what makes me believe we are experiencing some type of linguistic disconnect
I may just be having a bad day. Sorry for the negativity.
Be awesome to each other!
