| ⚫ | [[File:Mutlisexual.png|thumb|203x203px|The multisexual flag.]]'''Multisexuality''' or '''plurisexuality''' is an umbrella term for any form of attraction to more than one gender. It is synonymous with [[pluralian]], and [[:Category:M-Spec|m-spec]] (multisexual spectrum). It can describe people who are [[bisexual]], [[pansexual]], [[polysexual]], [[omnisexual]], etc, or can be used as a stand-alone identity if one does not wish to specify their sexuality further. |

| ⚫ | '''Multisexuality''' or '''plurisexuality''' is an umbrella term for any form of attraction to more than one gender. It is synonymous with [[pluralian]], and [[:Category:M-Spec|m-spec]] (multisexual spectrum).

The term for someone who has a fluid or changing sexuality towards different genders is called [[abrosexual]]. |

==Multisexual vs. Other Terms== |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
Multisexual or m-spec is the most neutral and include term to describe all sexualities attracted to multiple genders. Some people have pushed for "bisexual umbrella" to be used instead of multisexual, however this push was largely started by [[M-Spec Exclusionist|m-spec exclusionists]], and the use of "bisexual umbrella" can often come with the implication (intentional or not) that one sees other terms as "just bi" or that "no other terms are needed other than bi". |
|||
Many non-bisexual m-spec people do not want their identity watered down to "a subtype of bisexual". These people commonly identity with terms other than bisexual because those different terms allow them to communicate their personal experience of attraction with more accuracy. While some people who use other labels do identify as bisexual in addition to that other label, some people do not connect to the label bisexual and don't feel comfortable using it. They would rather be the sexuality they are, rather than being forced into a label they do not identify as. |

The flag was made official on February 13th, 2019 and the creator went by "synp." |
|||
Using multisexual as an umbrella term also allows for all groups to have unifying term while also having separate communities. Non-bisexual m-spec people would not have to feel like an after thought in things labeled as bisexual, and bisexual communities can have their own history and community. Additional, it allows for more visibility of various m-spec identities, rather than making bisexual the sole focus. |
