'''Homoflexible''' or '''Anisosexual''' is a variant of [[Bisexual|Bisexuality]] that is occasionally used as a more accurate label for those that are attracted to the same sex and opposite sex, but feel a very strong lean towards the same sex, additionally, the term [[Heteroflexible]] is used by those who feel the same way, but with a strong lean towards the opposite sex as opposed to the same sex. |
|||
'''Homoflexible''' or '''Anisosexual''' is used to describe an individual who is generally [[gay]]/homosexual ([[vincian]] or [[lesbian]]) and primarily experiences attraction to the same gender/similar genders, but has very occasionally tendencies to be attracted to other genders. |
|||
Both of these terms are controversial in the Bisexual community, and many view them as biphobic, due to the labels adding to the stereotype that, to be bisexual, you must experience a more or less, if not total, evenly split attraction to at least two genders. This is a common misconception about bisexuality, and is completely erroneous. |
|||
Another common way to use this term is people that are homosexual, but from time to time can experience attraction to the opposite gender. When they do experience attraction to the opposite gender, the attraction often has nothing to do with the persons gender, only the person. This definition is common for gay people who have a partner that has come out as [[Transgender|trans]], who they still love and want to be together with even though they are now the opposite gender. |
|||
People who identify as homoflexible may identify with this label only, or they may also identify as gay or lesbian. Homoflexible people may also identify as or be considered [[bisexual]] or otherwise [[multisexual]], however for some homoflexibles their attraction to the opposite gender is so rare that they do not consider bisexual to be an accurate description of their orientation in most situations. Its counterpart is [[heteroflexible]]. |
