    Bisexuals are not always attracted to men and women. A bisexual is simply someone that is attracted to two or more genders. That typically includes men and women, but doesn’t have to.

      I’ve heard of bi as experiencing both homosexual (same-gender) and heterosexual (different-gender) attraction. That’s the definition I like, as it’s not necessarily non-binary exclusionary and so accurately describes how I experience attraction.

        That’s definitely one way to be bi :)

        But there are also bi folk who aren’t attracted to men for example

          Oh yeah totally, and that’s just how I interpret it for myself :)

          I think it being not necessarily exclusionary is the key - experiencing heterosexual attraction doesn’t mean that you’re attracted to every other gender (although it can mean that as well)
