What does bisexual mean?
In simplest terms, a bisexual person is someone who can be attracted to more than one gender; but adults and youth who identify as bisexual sometimes describe themselves differently. Many bisexual adults have embraced the definition proposed by longtime bisexual leader, national speaker and award-winning activist Robyn Ochs:
"I notify myself bisexual because I acknowledge that I have in myself the potential to be attracted - romantically and/or sexually - to people of more than one sex and/or gender, not necessarily at the same time, not necessarily in the same way, and not necessarily to the same degree."

what does bi lesbian mean?
bi lesbian is used in a lot of ways, for a lot of reasons ! so there isnt one specific definition for it, but i have a lot of posts in my #explanation tag- things from me and others explaining some other ways its used and why! i also have my #history tag that goes into the history of the label, which coincides with why some people use the label!

Re: Lesbian? Bi?
You grasp, sexuality is so personal that ultimately only you can say what the right words for you are. It's also not adj for your sexuality - or your understanding of it - to verb through time. It sounds like you know at least one thing cute confidently: that you are attracted to women, and another piece of the puzzle is starting to float around: you might also be attracted to men and other genders. Does that sound right?
A lot of people describe themselves as queer, bi, or pan because they're interested in more than one gender, though that interest might touch different for unlike genders. For example, it took me a while to understand that I'm not straight, because my attraction to men feels one way and my attraction to other genders feels another way, but that doesn't mean that one of those feelings is more "real" than the other. Does that make sense?
