1.?MYTH: Bisexuality Is Just "Experimenting".
謬論一:雙性戀者只是在“試驗”其性向。

To be bisexual does not inherently imply a state of flux or "figuring yourself out." There is no magic formula that will ever force a bi person to lean in one particular direction more strongly than another. To imply bisexual people are just experimenting is to undermine their identity entirely and invalidate their understanding of who they are.
雙性向的本質反映出來并非是一種變化或“尋找自身”的狀態(tài)。能迫使一位雙性戀更傾向于某一性向的方法根本不存在。“雙性戀者只是在試驗其性向”的暗示其實徹底削弱了他們的身份認同感,并駁倒其對自身的理解。

2. MYTH: Bisexuality Is Greedy.
謬論二:雙性向者性貪。

What is greedy about love and attraction? Don't we all experience it? How can it be greed if it exists so abundantly in the world?
什么會貪圖愛與魅惑?它難道不是我們都體驗過的嗎?倘若這個世界充滿著愛與魅惑,那它又怎能被稱為貪欲呢?

3. MYTH: Bisexual People Are More Likely To Cheat On You.
謬論三:雙性戀者更有可能對你不忠。

That you're dating someone who is into more than one gender doesn't mean they are more likely to go out and pursue everyone. The definition of monogamy changes from couple to couple, not from one sexuality to another. If someone in a committed, monogamous relationship that both people have agreed on, it's problematic to assume that a bisexual partner will not honor that commitment.
你正在約會的對象是雙性戀,并不意味著他(她)更有可能去追求每一個人并與之發(fā)展關系。不同夫妻對一夫一妻制的定義迥異,然而不同性向對一夫一妻的定義卻無差別。如果某人處于雙方皆認同并承諾的一夫一妻固定關系,假想雙性戀的一方不會遵守承諾,這就有問題了。

4. MYTH: All Bisexual People Are Interested In Casual Sex.
謬論四:所有雙性戀者都愛瞎搞性關系。

Experiencing attraction to multiple genders does not automatically imply high sex drive, all the time, with everyone. Relatedly, bisexuality also doesn't automatically translate to "interested in a threesome." Some bisexual people may be into threesomes, but others may not. Assuming that everyone in a specific group is never a good idea.
雙性戀會被不只一種性別的人吸引,這并不等于雙性戀在任何時候都會對所有人產生強烈的性欲。同理,人們也不能下意識地將雙性戀理解成“樂于搞3P”。一些雙性向的人也許喜歡3P,可也有一些可能對3P不感興趣。把每個人都設想歸入某特定群體絕非一個好想法。

5. MYTH: Bisexual People Can't Be Religious.
謬論五:雙性戀不能信宗教。

Of course bisexual people can be religious. They can also have?myriad?other identities that are in no way determined by their sexuality. Surprise!
雙性戀當然能信宗教。他們還能有許多其他的身份呢,這些身份可決不是由其性向決定的。驚訝吧!
