You are bisexual and you know it

Neither confused nor promiscuous nor indecisive. Bisexual people, say the committees that represent them, are victims of myths derived from the ignorance of a society that ignores them because it cannot fit them into closed categories. This is the vision against which this group fights and that especially today, in its day, that of Bisexuality, rescues new and old scientific studies that put us all in the same bag.

In Three essays on the theory of sexuality (1905) the cathartic Freud wrote that we are all born bisexual, although we later decide one way or the other as adults. The American sexologist and sociologist Alfred Kinsey repeated it when developing a scale in 1948, which showed that very few people completely identified with the extremes. He stated that it will be difficult (impossible) to find someone who matches homosexuality perfectly, just as it would also be difficult (even more so) to find someone who can scientifically certify his full heterosexuality.

It's a shame that when it seemed like we already had it quite clear, that's okay, that's good, that we are all even a little bit bisexual, new voices come out to shake up the truths. Because monosexuals (those who can relate erotically and lovingly with only one gender, whether of the same or the other, although if it is the same, and I have understood it correctly, we should call them pansexuals) rebel, also feeling apart. Solosexuals don't fit either (are they lifelong masturbators?). And even less are those who defend the disappearance of the categories between men and women. If there aren't any, what is your gender and what is the opposite? So, sexually, what are you?

The smartest are those who warn that we would have more time (and more desire) for loving things if we stopped so much paraphernalia. Because, let's not fool ourselves, all of this was already happening in ancient Greece and ancient Rome, and among the bonobos, the orca and the bottlenose dolphin. And that's what some seagulls, a lot of fish, bison and flatworms do.

What was said. That beyond airing intimacies on Instagram and looking for flags and names for everything, we have not invented anything.
