🧵We don’t endorse a queer theory reframing of #bisexuality as being “an attraction to two or more genders”; this definition in too ambiguous as to be meaningless. People aren’t attracted to a subjective concept like gender, they are attracted to others based on their sex.1/4

Only recently the identity of bisexuality was considered transphobic by some, leading to the microlabel pansexual. Innate sexuality is not bigotry. There are many bisexuals who feel unrepresented by organisations that define their sexuality as based on gender as opposed to sex./2
Many bisexuals feel there is pressure on them to accept trans partners regardless of their personal attraction, as bisexuals are stereotyped as “up for anything.” That is not a situation that is conducive to meaningful consent and can lead to great harm./3
We disavow the stereotypes and misconceptions surrounding bisexuality. As an LGB Alliance we have bisexuals in our ranks and supporters who do align with the definition of bisexuality as “a sexual orientation to persons of either sex.” They deserve representation as well.4/4
