Well, guess what I just ordered at MR Press! Thank you for bringing this to my attention ♥

I hear you on the feeling of comfort re: a broad definition. The essays and opinions I encountered from actual bi people and bi organisations have always been overwhelmingly open: they never said that sex was required to know you're bi, or that you couldn't be attracted to trans people. To the contrary. But I encounter a lot of misinformation and malicious stereotyping mostly from non-bisexual groups (including my "favourite," the grasping at straws/splitting hairs to create an artificial divide between bi- and pansexuality that historically and materially never existed) ... and it is exhausting.

ETA: oh great, they require a credit card. *sigh* Apparently I'll have to get one after all.
