    i’m a big supporter of redefining sexuality as being attracted to masc/fem/andro people. I’m 95% attracted to masc/slightly andro presenting people who could Dom me. Without much care for their genitals. I usually just say I’m bi because I feel like more people get that

      For me, I’m much more into feminine people than anyone else, but genitals oddly do matter to an extent. A feminine person, either genitals work, but a masculine person, gotta be male genitals. However, it’s significantly rarer for me to be attracted to masculine people than feminine people, even if it does happen and the intensity isn’t any different. Androgynous people my brain just gets confused and goes with whichever it assumed first when it comes to attraction.
      Because of how complex that is to say, I don’t think those labels really work for me. Just saying I’m bi is much simpler and I can just elaborate if needed. Even if there was a label for “attracted to all 3 presentations” it doesn’t really fit for me because even though I am technically attracted to androgynous people, it’s only because my brain shoved them into a masculine or feminine box.
      That’s why I’m a fan of keeping the old labels too. There’s people like me they just work better for.
