"For me it’s less an identity and more a description of behavior — and to the extent it is an identity". Hear hear. The politicizing of one's attractions pisses me right off! I am as you have described, someone who is *usually* attracted to more feminine women and more masculine men. There is an utter hypocrisy in making attraction about societal's gender norms - this attitude is the mirror image of societal norms. I am head of household, I am the person who fixes the washing machine. I am also more on the feminine side, but not super feminine. Duality is part of my life. If it's the energy that attracts one, both the masculine and the feminine, then one *may* tend to go for the more concentrated expressions of these elements.
biphobia on bluesky? good to know the grass is not greener on the other side!

Great stuff - love your capacity for this intellectual fencing, funny too
- though it baffles me how anyone gets enough peace and quiet to think and write in New York - easily the noisiest place I have ever been.
