in short - the whole thing is too minefield-y and makes my head hurt and, coward that i am, it just means i opt out. there's perhaps a little more to it than that.
also, i simply don't identify as bi, in my head, except in the formal way of being asked to identify to conventional categories for statistical purposes or something. otherwise, the point for me is that gender isn't a constraining thing with sexual attractiveness - it's a non-thing rather than a thing.
i think i've always been one to avoid organised stuff - i was averse to student LGBT, and i slightly cringe at the thought of BiCon. i'm not entirely clear why that is....
also, i'm not actively poly, and in a hetero-mono relationship, i'm not out to my family, i'm happy to be out at work or to friends, but don't advertise. therefore, it's just a bit academic for all real purposes. it just feels entirely inappropriate for me to 'participate'.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
