The attraction to 1) people with the same gender and 2) people of other genders. This is often confused with pansexuality, but bisexuals are often differentiated by things like having different tastes in one gender vs. others (e.g. being a woman who likes loud women, but quiet men) or not being attracted to all genders (e.g. being a man who likes people who are agender, bigender, and other men, but not being attracted to women).
Sometimes, I'll be walking and I'll notice a handsome man and then I'll see a gorgeous woman and I'll just smile to myself and be really glad for bisexuality.

When somebody is attracted to people of both sexes. Yes, some people claim to be bisexual for attention, but there are many people who are genuinely bi. I'm not sure why people don't think bisexuality exists when it clearly does (it's well-established).
Hattie's bisexuality made her less popular in her homophobic school but she still kept up her bisexuality because she was bisexual, not because she was attention-seeking.

A fluid identity that encompasses sexual attraction to any number of genders between two genders and all genders, with or without preferences to gender. Bisexuals do not have to have a preference, nor do they have to strictly love two genders. Bisexuals are allowed to love any number of genders as long as it's two or more. Can be defined in one of the following ways:
- Two or more
- More than one
- A fluid identity for two or more
- However the person wants to define it as long as it's more than one gender
Some misconceptions of bisexuality include:
- Must liking only two genders
- Cannot like more than two, or that is automatically polysexual.
- Similarly, cannot like all, or that is automatically pansexual or omnisexual.
- Must choose a side.
- Avoiding being Gay and Lesbian.
- Wouldn't date trans, nonbinary, GNC, or anyone who isn't cisgender.
- Promiscuous
Bisexuality is a very fluid identity, and many types of attraction are included under it. It isn't limited in any regard apart from the minimum attraction being to two genders, and all genders are included in bisexual attraction.

Someone who loves guys and girls. Not a confused hetrosexual and not a confused homosexual. Not sex hungry.
Have to prove they aren't more likely to cheat on their partner with someone else just because they are attracted to the same sex.
