And I did that after I created a bisexual research group.
So I wasn't a sexuality researcher, but as a bi person and a scientist, I was interested in the science of bisexuality.
And I couldn't really find it.
It was really hard to figure out what people were actually learning about bisexual people in comparison to other kinds of queer people.
And...
One of the things I've found is that the terms that are used are not necessarily bi.
And so it could be things like plurisexual.
So if you type into Google Scholar the word bisexual, you're going to get a lot of confusing things.
Also because bisexual is used for like two sexes where you have multiple sex or you can change.
And so they're bisexual.
Right.
Yeah.
Which is different entirely.
And so I think partly out of that.
Researchers started using words like plurisexual and omnisexual is another one.
And so if you're looking for research on this, plurisexual is probably the word.
It's just the same.
It's just another word where it's all.
Sometimes pansexual is also used.
And again, the idea being that it's all genders.
