I have a lot of friends who identify one way or the other despite dating people of different genders, because they experience a lot of pressure to 'pick a side'

Yeah, plus I have bisexual friends who have partnered/married someone of the opposite sex, and boy do they feel erased and patronized a lot of the time. It's still difficult to be liminal, fluid, in modern society, both in gender and sexual preferences. //is watching Magicians fandom burn down in real time right now because TPTB apparently could not BEAR the idea of a bisexual lead
