I'm surprised that bisexuality is so high. You really don't see people talk about it much.

how lgbt+ heavy is your friend group? literally 60% of my friend group is bi which tracks with these numbers. think there are only 2 strictly hetero males in the group.

It's wholesome that you think I have friends

There's not too much to talk about. We blend in because people assume we are either gay or straight depending on who we date. Most don't think much of it, though. :)

Blessed with the carnal knowledge of dating multiple genders, I realized that love is the same regardless of gender or physical hardware. Honestly, I think many people would actually be compatible if they knew how close it feels to being hetero/homosexual, lol. Sex feels the same, love feels the same. At the end of the day, you will find someone amazing, and you dgaf what gender they are, because you make each other happy. :)

Love that. I think I was taken aback by the bi erasure of society that made me feel that it's rarer than it is.

There are a lot. But it would be interesting to see this broken down further by gender. I'd wager the majority of self-identifying bisexuals are still heavily weighted toward women.

I'm surprised trans is over 1% of the general population. Last time I saw figures on that, it was about 2 orders of magnitude smaller.

2 orders of magnitude lower would be vastly below even the naturally occurin intersex rate (~0.5% of births)
