semi- Serious question, Idon’t get it. Most of us get why the hegemonic gender system is stupid, why subscribe to the binary role you were assigned? Also, why do straight people exist? Maybe it’s just me but I like to look and feel like my own perception of what is attractive.

    I don’t agree with this one-drop rule for straightness. I have incidentally found men attractive, but at the end of the day, that’s the exception: I have found thousands of women attractive for every such incidence. It is disingenuous to call me as bisexual as a result—or at least renders the term meaningless.

        I don’t dispute that, but it doesn’t change its usefulness as a metric. I guess the question is where does ‘straightness’ end and ‘bisexuality’ begin? I’d argue that a Kinsey 1, for example, is still a straight guy. Labels are less like algebra and more like statistics—there’s always a bit of fuzz around the edges, or outliers you need to ignore.
