it shouldn't really be surprising if there are more bi people married to/partnered with people of the opposite gender than with people of the same gender
But that's not what he said--he said they're with men. He didn't say they were women.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't know what label fits me. At any given time, I might like everything, or I might not like anything. Is there a term for "aloof and capricious"?
Pansexual?
"But in this ever changing world in which we're living..."
This is not what they are saying?!?
I'm pretty sure not.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I thought it was
in this ever-changing world in which we live in
which makes me gnash my teeth. There's a U2 song with the lyric
and the sun in the sky makes a shadow of you and I
and every time I yell, "I don't care if it rhymes! It's WRONG!" but Bono does not listen to me.

mmmMaybe. Except for the "not liking anything" times.

Oh, I can be very specific.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Well, he said they were with men, which makes people assume they are straight. So I am assuming he is talking specifically about women, unless I am totally misreading his post.
edit: OK, now I'm going back and looking at Gud's post again, and I don't actually see him saying that people are assuming they're straight, just that they're not bi. So I am fighting a slightly different fight here. Oops! Carry on...

Well, I think there are times that most, if not all, people fall under "not liking anything," but I don't think it makes them cease to be straight/bi/gay, unless it becomes a permanent thing.
But I got NO idea of what to even call myself, so don't take my addlepated advice.

No, he said they were with men which makes people assume there's no such thing as bisexual.

My male dataset is one. I think from reading the bits leading up that there was a discussion of the perception that bi means have-experimented-but-am-actually-straight for women, and actually-I'm-gay for men. I'm just saying I can see how that perception can be formed if my dataset is prevalent.
