[@lifeisafiesta94]

Thank you, Courtney. For the longest time I felt I couldn't use the term bisexual because my attraction to girls wasn't as big as my attraction to boys; it took me a while but I realized that bisexual doesn't mean 50/50 and now I feel proud to call myself bisexual

[@DirkAustin]

Welcome to the club!

[@silvertamagachi]

I feel this soooo hard. Sometimes I still think I'm just "straight with exceptions" (or, when I'm feeling meaner to myself, "straight person who wants to feel special over 'girl crushes'") but I'm working on being more comfortable with my sexuality and with understanding that these things aren't always just a clear cut down the middle.

[@depressedgaysassyitalianre5748]

Lucía Menéndez me too! I’m mostly attracted to men but ever so slightly still attracted to women so I can’t say I’m completely homosexual

[@luciaaragon3294]

Omgggg same

[@G2thesecondpower]

I think this is why Dan Savage coined the term "hetero-flexible" ;)

[@rey-hp8gm]

the bit about privilege is too real "why don't you just pick a side" like yeah that's so easy for you to say!

[@DirkAustin]

Its all part of bisexual erasure.

[@MrSasyB]

I don't feel bisexual but I wouldn't rule off the possibility of liking a woman someday, if the right one comes along. But still I think I'm mostly attracted to men, so I identify as gay. I do feel more fluid about my gender. I feel my body is just the vessel holding my soul, so I don't necessarily think of me as a man or a woman. I present as a boy, most of the times, and that's okay to me cause I don't really feel the need to look different, but I don't feel like 'definitely male' or 'definitely female'. It's complicated and I'm still figuring it out

[@DirkAustin]

Then youre bi-curious.

[@emymedina1947]

You can also identify yourself as agender, but is always Okey to not use a label if you prefer so 😊

[@DirkAustin]

That would be a gender, not a sexuality...And agender if anything like asexual would mean one is self-gendered which sounds dumb.

[@Becklestein]

It's definitely complicated especially when thinking about yourself, and there's a lot of pressure to pop on a label and be done with it! Think it sounds great that you're taking the time to feel through what's right for you.

[@DirkAustin]

Doesnt have to be much thinking, you fall in love with the same sex as you? Gay. Fall in love with the opposite sex? Straight. Dont care either way? Bi.

[@itbetay8490]

I love being validated 💗💜💙

I noticed that too and I'm super stoked because I can share this video with my deaf and hoh friends and family :)

[@brianna1004]

Omg I finally found a way to express my sexuality! I was so confused I thought because I like mostly men and find women attractive a little bit. I thought I wasn't "really" bi. Yay! I feel a lot more secure in who I am now. Thanks a lot, Courtney!

[@serienfreak132]

Thank you for this. I am bisexul, but am way more attracted to woman. I fall in love with woman and would sleep with them etc but I only have small crushes on boys and dont want to sleep with them. Its basically 90% girls and 10% boys. Some people think i´m gay but I still find men attractive I just dont nessesaraly WANT to date them. Thank you for validating all different kinds of bi´s ! 💖💜💙

[@DirkAustin]

Im more attracted to women and more selective with men than with women. Being bi is awesome tho we have such a bad rep because of misconceptions. Btw, i am attracted to men and women regardless of whether theyre trans or not!

High school is the literal worst

[@Littlemitashy]

I know I'm a few years late on this, but this video is SO validating. Like sometimes I was questioning my sexuality as a bi person again because I wouldn't say my sexuality is equally split (I'm a girl who tends to be attracted to women more over men but I have fancied boys before but none in recent years and dated one in the past), and I came across this a few months back by chance and it made me feel validated and that I'm still bi even with a preference.

[@WhereOceansMeeet]

I'm attracted to the female form whether they're cisgender, transgender, bi-gender or just crossdressers. I have no attraction to men strangely. I always say that I'm straight with shades of gay. xD

[@definitelynotabby8555]

I've seen people describe this as femmesexual - eg attracted to the feminine form regardless of bits and bobs which I'm pretty sure is what ur describing

[@WhereOceansMeeet]

Possibly. I've never really liked labels. For me it's just how my brain works.

[@johnnj3858]

I'm with you brother!

[@G2thesecondpower]

Straight with shades of gay, lol. ;)

[@Nickferal]

Gender is an illusion, an esthetic, just the outside layer of a person. Welcome to bisexuality :) I love how you write: "I like women" like say "I'm attracted to blonde people" that's just beautiful

I know this not much to do with the video (which is awesome and much needed so thank you) but I also want to thank you for putting subtitles on this video, I'm deaf and it made me so happy to see that the captions just came with the video. It made me feel included so I thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing that

[@chenissamimms6574]

Yes! And I prove this message... can’t wait for this show. Come on E!

[@Spongebobs4Life]

Hey, Courtney, just a quick note to say thank you for making my, not close minded mother, but a Mam who has been really quite naive on the topic of gender and sexuality, more educated and open minded. This will sound stupid but I got a new car and I said it’s name is Maxxie and she asked if it was a boy or a girl and I said “I’m not sure it switches” and she quite proudly said “its gender fluid?”. Now I know it’s a car, and it’s genderless anyway, but just the fact that she knows what gender fluid means and accepts it as truth and reality is a huge thing for me. I’ve kind of spent years trying to ease her into the mindset that bisexuality is a real thing and not ‘greed’ or ‘confusion’. You’re really helping. She loved you on big brother and she likes your videos on here and I can’t wait for her to really understand pansexuality so she can properly understand me. Much love to you 💕 xxx

[@JosieSaysSTFU]

courtney, i love you so much. it's really rare to find videos/resources about bisexuality that are so helpful and inclusive and accessible, and i especially liked the bit about language being something that grows with time. this gives me a lot of hope for the bi life as well, i'll definitely be tuning in.

[@Vxlntvne]

She explains things so fucking well like she’s not too hostile on either side of the explanation and it’s extremely helpful for people who don’t completely understand! Thanks for being awesome Courtney

Love you so much Courtney! Love how this video boils it all down so simply!

Courtney, thanks for educating. I didn't know Sept. 23 was Bisexuality Day, Bi Visible Day. I do know that Maggi Rubenstein got the "B" put in for GLB, LGB. And her 88th. birthday is this Sept. 28. Maggi's birthday is public knowledge since San Francisco Supervisor Bevan Duffy submitted RESOLUTION NO.419-10 which the Board of Supervisors passed, "Declaring September 28, 2010 as Dr. Marguerite Rubenstein Day in San Francisco to recognized her commitment to health education and her lifelong service to San Francisco." She founded the SF Sex Information Hotline 1972 which still flourishes; co-founded the SF Bi-sexual Center, and late Bi-Pol and the Bay Area Bi-Sexual Network. She got her Ph.D in Human Sexuality, served many years as Dean of Students as well as 11 years served at the New Leaf Outreach to Elders advisory board. In 1992, Maggi was Grand Marshal of the San Francisco Pride Parade. She says to call her "Maggi".

[@ianhowe3269]

As a bisexual, I'm obsessed with this. I love that Courtney made such a quick and informative video about bi+ folks. Gonna send all my monosexual friends over here to watch this

[@Julianakun]

Thank you! Bi and Pan are so similar they're pretty much synonyms. We that use the original term are not transphobes. I'm so sick of Tumblr kids calling us that.

[@ANA_youre_enough]

I must think of being bi differently than most. I'm bi but I only am attracted to cis (personal preference) masculine men and (personal preference) feminine women. To me it makes more sense that bi would full under the pan umbrella of EVERYTHING. To each his own and I still appreciated this video!

[@xotbirdox]

sharon whiles Don't worry, me too! I feel like pansexuality was created to fill the need for a label for people who liked all genders so I don't get why people are trying to change bisexuality. I learnt about it as being attracted to cis men and women when I was 12 and instantly knew it was me and it took me 2 years to come to terms with my sexuality so to see people trying to change the label kinda makes me sad a bit. I know it's just a label but it feels ingrained in my personality at this point and I feel like I fought really hard to come to terms with being bi after years of having crushes on both and not really knowing where I fit in. I am literally so not transphobic so I hate when people say that the original definition of bi is transphobic. Imo, I don't think it's transphobic to not be attracted to non-cis people. I will absolutely be friends with those people, I will accept them fully 110%, and I completely see them as the gender they have told me that they are, but I am just not attracted to them personally. I don't see the problem in that. I love very masculine features (in both looks and personality) on men and very feminine features on women, and I always have. Why is that so bad?

[@ANA_youre_enough]

@@xotbirdox yes! Exactly! Its personal preference for each others attraction. Isn't that the whole point in LGBTQ? I'm not going to go up a a straight person and call them homophobic because they're straight. They may be, but that isn't a fair assumption to make. Pan just makes more sense because it's definition is literally ALL. While bi's literally breaks down to 2. No hate!

[@Nickferal]

I thought I liked manly men and feminine women, now I think I'm more into blondes for some reason. Whatever your taste is, monosexuality can't explain your taste. Each bisexual is a snowflake, because we are all unique, is the label for people that think of themselves as different than most, maybe we are the most

[@olga_g56]

I don't know why I never realized that falling in love with girls, but being more physically attracted to guys also qualifies as bi. I always felt like I'm a "fake bi", so "better not to tell anybody". Or "I'm not 100% straight, but I have no idea what I am". Now I have a lot to think about, but I kinda feel relieved. We change, we learn, even if it takes a lifetime. Courtney is so amazing. ❤️💜💙

Queen of...why not both? #bisexualpride

[@hexmaniacciaran]

My only thing is the idea of pan, bisexuality has always been inclusive of nb people, the flag has pink and blue at opposite ends with purple line that represents the the space in between and ultimately non binary people and a host of other identities

[@JosieSaysSTFU]

i hear where you're coming from - bisexuality *has* always been inclusive of nb folks, but not everyone's always been aware of it, so some people prefer it as a more explicitly inclusive label. also a lot of bi people are only attracted to two genders (whether that's women and men, women and nb people, etc.) rather than *all*, so i still think bi and pan as separate labels have value. and some people (like me!) identify with both.

[@pandapaws6174]

HexManiacCiaran I know a lot of bi people who are VERY anti trans, and tbh most people I know are very anti- non binary, the same as some gay people can be. (And yes I do challenge this as much as I can) So whilst a lot of people say that it is inclusive, there some that will hate on you if you say your Bi but don't care about 'gender norms' or date a trans person, that's why I moved more to the Pan label.

[@DirkAustin]

Bullshit, im bi and i dont care if someone is trans or not or whatever else. I date by personality. Doesnt make me any less bi.

[@silvertamagachi]

I always thought bi was attraction to any gender, while pan was attraction to people regardless of gender. Is that totally off?

[@silvertamagachi]

Lucoa, in theory doesn't that mean that a bi person and a pan person can be attracted to the exact same number/types of people, despite identifying differently? Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, of course, but if they're attracted to the same things I'm not sure what the difference is, beyond what people prefer going by. (Also potentially more ignorant question: When we say "all genders" . . . there's male-, female-, and nb/genderfluid-identifying people, right? Ignoring trans -- because trans men are male and vice versa -- are there more than just the 3? Looking it up on Google obv resulted in a lot of transphobic bs....)

I've always called myself bisexual because I've never understood sexuality. I've had sex with both and both are good and who says no it's a liar and hasn't really tried to make a connection. Thought I was a full time lesbian too till I've realised that we are only thought by our experiences what's enjoyable. As a child I've only thought the emotional connection matters and sex is something enjoyable but not something necessary, now that I have a family I'm just afraid that I can't protect my children from others sick stupid opinions. I don't want them to feel what I've feeled all my life.

I started to notice my sexuality at around middleschool, but the past few years, I have been almost unraveling this weird sexuality of mine but I guess I needed affirmation to how to describe it. I use to think that there was a strict label that you needed but now I know it doesn't have to be a label or a very strict one at that. I can proudly say that I am bisexual and a homosexual romantic. Women are so beautiful and sweet 😍 I can see myself living the rest of my life with a woman.

[@512Bunny]

[@beans9479]

Courtney thank you sooo much for making this video, you have no idea how much it means to me. I'm the complicated case of falling in love only with men but being sexually attracted to most genders (I'm female). I've never felt quite comfortable calling myself bisexual because I'll never introduce a girlfriend to my parents, only boyfriends, so they'll think I just say I'm bi cause I wanna be cool. Also, I felt like to lesbian girls I might seem like a bi-curious straight girl that uses them for sex without wanting a relationship, thus I never felt like I belonged in the LGBT community. But I think after your video I'll maybe have the courage to explain myself and call myself bi. Thank you.
