Bisexuality implies choice; implies that gender is not fixed but flexible. One can engage in sexual relations with John or Jane; the choice up to the ego.
Clearly, this would fly in the face of current hypothes is concerning gender orientation. This would imply that far from being "wired" into our brains, sexuality is a choice.
Is it a choice? Is there such a thing as true bisexuality? Or is it a "beard" to deny homosexuality?
Many homosexuals speak of the early years when they claimed to be "bi" as the pressure of society (actual and inferred)and their own ambivalence (or need to conform), put them into relations with the opposite sex.
Their interest in same sex coupling was "always" there, but they resisted the temptation, because they wanted to be "straight".
At some point they participated in homosexual relations,ran back to the "safety" of heterosexuality, until such time they could accept the fact that they were homosexuals.
This would confirm the postulate that gender preference is fixed and that attempts to "redirect" are doomed to failure.
If there are mature bisexuals, then the entire comprehension of "fixed" sexuality would be disproved.
Attempts to "change" a person from one preference to another would be possible; the ideas of "emotional woundedness"currently in vogue, and the citing of homosexuality as a symptom of this damage would have a solid basis.
One can not, (no pun intended) have it both ways. If sexuality is fixed, then one is either/or. If sexuality is not fixed then homosexuality is a choice.
attacks. Good talking points.
