[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FFS. When I was a kid, I was constantly being told that being bisexual was “trendy”, “a fad”, “you’ll grow out of it”.  I’m in my 30s, still 100% bisexual.  I had several trans& gender non conforming friends as a teen growing up in Herndon.  My parents modeled respect, and kindness and it wasn’t a big deal even pre-marriage equality and repeal of DADT.  My dad had a coworker in 1993 transition over the Christmas holidays, she came back and said “My name is now ___, my pronouns are she/her” and it was nbd bc she was great at her high tech job.  More people are trans nowadays, they’re just spending less of their lifetime hiding in shame and distress.  That’s a good thing.[/quote]

Yes. But how is this relevant ? Being bisexual doesn’t involve you making permanent changes to your body. [/quote]

Exactly. Moreover, it is unclear that ppl who transition can ever have a real sex life (orgasm) and may become sterile. Not a parallel with bisexuality. Bisexual ppl are much less likely to be depressed or suicidal after they come out too.[/quote]
