I don’t mean morally wrong, I know that sexuality is a spectrum, that everyone is different, and I shouldn’t let anyone tell me how to describe myself, I mean wrong terminology.

Like how a man who’s attracted to other men wouldn’t call himself straight for example.

I’m certainly not straight, even if there’s one woman I’ve ever liked and the rest were men, I still liked a girl.

I would definitely date regardless of gender but only one women has really been attractive to me. Although I’d date and love regardless, other genders don’t really give me the spark men do.

If I dated a man who transitioned to nonbinary or transfem, I would still love them regardless and wouldn’t lose my interest in him.

I consider myself attracted to women maybe ~5% of the time, 95% other genders (most of the 95% is male but IDK the exact percentage on that part)

Would omni/bi be a better description?

    I don’t get why labels are so important to people.

    If other people label you, they think you have to act a certain way.

    If you label yourself, you think you have to act a certain way.

    “I like what I like” why does it have to be more complicated than that?

      Labels are useful for when you’re questioning things and looking for where you belong in the world. They provide key words that can lead you to more information and communities of more people like you. This user is just looking for where they belong without feeling like an imposter or fraud.

      I do agree that people shouldn’t hang on labels and revolve everything around labels though. They’re tools and guidelines but ultimately only the individual can define how they really feel and who they really are.

        I agree with you that it is useful in the context of finding information.

        But the way people use them seems more like a prison then a guideline.
