~semi-~ Serious question, Idon’t get it. Most of us get why the hegemonic gender system is stupid, why subscribe to the binary role you were assigned? Also, why do straight people exist? Maybe it’s just me but I like to look and feel like my own perception of what is attractive.

Where did you hear that? Wikipedia disagrees.

Is this still part of the bit?

A monosexual person may identify as heterosexual or homosexual.

It is sometimes considered derogatory or offensive by the people to whom it is applied, particularly gay men and lesbians.

wdym, I'm not the one who used the term, I just don't see why Rasm disagreed with it. I don't know much about the word.

You said that Wikipedia disagrees but Wikipedia clearly agrees. Yeah you didn't bring up the term but it's weird to bring up Wikipedia and obviously misrepresent it.
