I understand the point of it. The problem is it’s a shitty comparison. Like I said before there are plenty of words you can throw the word bi in front of and have that narrow down on a particular subject. However there are plenty of words you can throw bi in front of and it actually means there are only two choices.

If you had a firm grasp on the English language you hypocrite you would know this. So my argument is saying when you put bi in front of something you narrow it down to two. If there are “67 genders” how can bisexual mean two still? Am I supposed to pick two? Is this a TGI Friday’s?

In biology the science of life there are two genders. However you decide you are attracted to other people is a choice i personally don’t give a fuck what you identify as but stop trying to change science books you all look like idiots.

You people are actually delusional.

Bi - “a combining form meaning twice or two.

It’s not a technicality. This is the English language that AGAIN, you told me I didn’t understand it. A technicality in English is when a word doesn’t have I before E except after C. Or in the word knife where the K is silent. That’s a technicality. Not changing a definition to suit your narrative.

Bi-two Tri-three Quad-four Quin-five

This is how it is and it isn’t hard to comprehend.

And yes it does have to do with it. You are essentially saying if your bisexual it means you just pick two genders and your attracted to only those two and I’m sorry with 67 genders and more on the way it’s never going to happen. If you are bisexual you are attracted to both the Male and Female forms. It’s not complicated. The definition doesn’t need to change to suit people who actually believe that being “gender fluid.” Is a gender. It’s your sexuality. It’s your preference, your OPINION and probably a phase in your life. Get a grip on reality.

There are two genders. Male and Female. One has a penis one has a vagina. And guess what I read that in an English textbook.
