Identity

identity

Hey, so I want to preface this by saying that I’m supportive of everyone, however they identify. 

It seems like my fellow multisexuals haven’t created clear definitions of words, and it annoys me sometimes. I’m attracted to men, women, and all sorts of non-binary people, and depending on who I ask this would make me either bi or pansexual. At this point, I don’t know which label I should use. 

A lot of people I know, who identify as bi, are attracted to (and have dated) nonbinary people, but, a lot of pansexuals distinguish themselves from bisexuals by saying that bisexuals are only attracted to binary genders, so according to them those bi people would be pansexual. I feel like people who are attracted to all genders identifying as bi is valid. Because of that, I don’t want to say I'm pansexual and not bi BECAUSE of my attraction to nonbinary folks, because I feel like that would invalidate bisexuals who date nonbinary people. Either way, I fit under the multisexual umbrella, so I’ve been using that label for now, or just switching between the three terms. Which leads me to my next point;

Why does no one use the term multisexual as an umbrella term? Whenever people talk about the multisexual umbrella, people just say bi, whether the person is Omni, pan, bi, or otherwise. What's up with that? Is bi the umbrella term?

At this point, I'm beginning to hate labels, which sucks bc my lizard brain really likes to put labels on everything, especially me... maybe I should work on that.
