Is there something wrong if I kinda of identify as bisexual to a certain degree? Like I've never felt the urge to sleep with someone of my same gender, but there's that weird/fantasy/kink-ish zone that it appeals to me. There's never been enough real world attraction that I really have ever wanted to act have sex with a lady. If that makes sense.
Yeah, there are degrees. I, for instance, an pretty solidly in the centre, but most people (including most bisexual people) do not. I would say that while you may be predominantly heterosexual, that does not make you exclusively so.
Yeah, that's what I figure (which I honestly find to be a weird thing to experience. While I believe that that sexuality is flux, I feel I've been told so much that it's strictly one or the other, if feels difficult to get out of that mindset). That's why I've just called my sexuality...sexuality since I don't really know or feel like putting a label on it. Just because I don't feel like calling myself heterosexual since it doesn't feel exclusive but I'm not sure if bi is the best word to use.

You don't have to rationalize it. Sexuality is irrational. It's wrong to identify as something if it leads to actions you don't really want ("Gosh,I'm bisexual, better have sex with a lady."), but there's nothing wrong with fantasizing about women while dating a dude.
I think I am rather close to bisexual, if in a weird way. Namely, I consider female body much, much more sexually attractive than a male body, and seem to be attracted to females - in as far as I a capable of sexual attraction. Yet when I think of sex, my "default" mental image is sex between male and female. Even though the male does not greatly interest me, it takes conscious effort to imagine sex differently.

so i guess his argument is that you can present as whatever you want and he'll respect you for it but that doesn't change the physical reality of your body

"My reaction when I feel backed into corner is to be an asshole. It’s essentially how I defend myself. It’s been that way since was in elementary school. I’m 36 now. Maybe it’s finally time to try and let some of that shit go."
This isn't without precedent so I don't know why people are surprised. Apologizing might make it okay if he wouldn't do it again, but he probably will.

I don't think he's ever set a precedent for transphobia though. Just acting like an idiot when he says something stupid and people call him on it. I do that all the time and you guys don't hate me.
^^^^ Well, isn't that forcing someone to prove a negative? That's a damned if you do, damned if you don't arrangement, and I prefer not to put people in that kind of bind even if what I think that they did was stupid, rude and hideously insensitive.

in particular stood out.
And I distinctly recall us, well least most of us, agreeing everybody pretty much overreacted about that.
