Calls SS they in the body of post, but look carefully at the byline 🤣🤣 Oh dear Pink News. Looks like you do know what a man is after all. https://www.thepinknews.com/2024/08/14/no-sam-smith-hasnt-come-out-as-semibisexual/

I think semibisexual is a sexual orientation for the half-hearted. You’re attracted to both sexes but can only muster a semi for each.

😆😆😆

It's enough to see Sam crying on the doorstep, artfully lit, just like during Covid.

Sam Smith has come out as a desperate attention seeker, more like.

Guess what, knew that already.

It has finally been changed.
And the twitter post looks like it has been removed too

My furiously TWAW friend who I have clashed with recently after being sick of keeping quiet was talking about her friend who has a mtf trans child and referred to "him" throughout. It doesn't take much for the woke mask to slip.

I took it to mean gay but might shag Jennifer Lawrence in a pinch.

I was thinking analogous to a vegetarian lured by a passing bacon butty.
But really I just dont care!

I don’t think it’s productive to police whether people are “genuinely bi” or not. What level of proof is acceptable?

SidewaysOtter · 18/08/2024 09:27

I’m not sure how widespread a phenomenon that really is, whereas bisexual erasure is definitely a real problem.

That’s the thing, isn’t it? The “I wanna be in the queer glitter family” brigade, calling themselves bi when they’re not, does harm to those who genuinely are bi - people will just think they’re making it up to be “special”.

Someone needs to check on little Owen Jones. He will not be ok.

I read this in my head automatically in the task masters voice and cackled 😂

DontStopMe · 14/08/2024 18:26

Surely 'semi' is half, and 'bi' is two, so semi-bi- must be monosexual?

That is the joke. It is mocking people who claim to be bisexual when they are actually straight.

Literal violence! 😱 But does that mean bisexual on Mondays and Wednesdays? Oh wait, there’s no such thing as bisexual, because that would mean only two sexes! 😱😱

I suspect we are the only people clicking on the article! And none of us are about to demand it be changed 😁

Aye and there's no possibility of an early release for good behaviour.

Show quote history

I believe it’s a life sentence.

As for

"semibisexual is someone who is bisexual but is attracted to only one gender."

What in name of all types of holy fuck does that mean? Because it seems to read as “Straight as a fucking die but wants to be seen as “interesting”, in the face of all evidence to the contrary.”

Bisexual - attracted to both sexes. So semi bisexual - attracted to one sex.

There's already a word for that, homosexual.

Or heterosexual.

Scratch the straight bit - that doesn't make sense 😀

Bisexual - attracted to both sexes. So semi bisexual - attracted to one sex. A politically correct way for a gay man to indicate not interested in transmen or for a lesbian to say not interested in transwomen.

Show quote history

I got what you meant!

If ‘halfbisexual’ was a thing it would essentially mean the same thing as ‘monosexual’ - which is applicable to anyone attracted only to one of the two sexes whether that be a homo or hetero attraction is lesbians, gay men and straights male or female.

I’ve clearly read too much Queer Theory as I seem to be able to understand crazy PoMo nonsense (albeit more as a foreign language than a mother tongue).

The obfuscation of language. I took semibisexual to mean a gay or straight man who is only attracted to other males, or a lesbian or straight woman who is only attracted to other females.

Now that really does make no sense.

I really enjoyed Greg Jenner misgendering the very publicly bepenised pianist Jordan Gray on his "You're dead to me" podcast on LGBTQ+ life on Germany. All the way through he keeps up the shes and hers until the very end when Greg says "let's see what he's learnt" before the quiz and it really tickled me.
You know, Greg. We all know. Deep down even you know.

I can’t remember who it was now but a few days ago one of the Talk TV presenters called Owen Jones ‘a prisoner of his own stupidity’.

Queer definitely seems to be the new straight among the younger generation. I remember when it was a slur but language evolves I suppose.

Show quote history

Very soon straight will be the edgy, cool thing to be, once almost everyone is queer.

EmpressaurusDeiGatti · 15/08/2024 08:53

So really anythingsexual should be unacceptable.

But with an apparently infinite number of genders, what do you do? If everyone ends up being ‘queer’ then is queer the new straight?
