Would you ever say that a heterosexual person is attracted to everyone of their opposite gender?

Bisexuals are only attracted to men or women.
There are bisexuals attracted to nonbinary people, and nonbinary bisexuals exist.
Like gender, sexual attraction is a spectrum, and theres no one-size-fits-all for one sexuality.
Bisexuals are equally attracted to men and women.
Because of the first stereotype, many people believe that bisexuals are equally attracted to men and women.
If you find a man attractive, youre supposed to find women just as attractive, and vice versa.
This stereotype is one of the reasons it took me so long to come out.
It wasnt until I met other bisexuals that I realized that attraction is not binary.
Sexuality is complex, and peoples feelings will always be valid.
Bisexuals are attracted to everyone.

Probably not, but many people seem to think bisexuals are attracted to everyone.
Bisexual means attracted to more than one gender, not attracted to everyone.
We all have our own preferences based on many factors, many of which are out of our control.
But thats not true.
There are straight people who cheat on their spouses, and it has nothing to do with their attraction.
That has to do with who they are as a person.
This goes with the assumption that bisexuals are attracted to everyone.
it’s possible for you to be attracted to multiple genders and still only want a monogamous relationship.
Its simply a matter of preference of what kind of sex you like to have.
If bisexuals date someone of their opposite gender, people think theyre straight.
If bisexuals date someone of their same gender, people think theyre gay.
Who you date doesnt change your sexuality.
Only you get to label your sexuality and choose whats right for you.
Bisexuality is a phase.
Sexuality is fluid for many people.
A bisexual person doesnt stop being bisexual because they grow out of it.
Dont let anyone invalidate your sexuality.
You are who you are.
And that can change over time, but its all up to younot anyone else.
No one can tell you who you are; you are the only person who can do that.
