Vielfältige Liebe entdecken

We center heterosexuality as the sun of our sexual solar system, blinding our exploration of other sexualities.

Jonathan Ned Katz argues that "the idea of heterosexuality is a modern invention, dating to the late nineteenth century."

Kinsey introduced "bisexuality as the foundational norm from which monosexuality derived"

In other words, it is not practical for most of us to get rid of labels entirely, but we must also not attribute too much power or elegance to them.

Robyn Ochs eloquently put it in 2009 :[Bisexuality is] the potential to be attracted, romantically and/or sexually, to people of more than one [gender], not necessarily at the same time, not necessarily in the same way, and not necessarily to the same degree."

..., I use "bisexual", or "bi", as an umbrella term that includes those who identify as bisexual, pansexual, plurisexual, polysexual, sexually fluid, bi-curious, and questioning...

It is not literally feeling that you are another gender, at least not for me. It's more that I feel like a mix of what society has decided are masculine and feminine characteristics.

Consistent with this, Rosie Nelson found that bisexual people see gender and sexuality as connected.

..."plurisexuals see their gender and sexuality as connected, and many reference the ways they transform outfits and impressions through feminisation or masculinisation"...
