bisexual identity
Attraction both ways
Bisexual identity is a person's self-understanding as bisexual—attracted to more than one gender.
The term emphasizes identity as distinct from behavior: someone may identify as bisexual without currently having partners of multiple genders, or may have such partners without claiming the label.
Her bisexual identity was something she came to gradually.
The phrase often appears in discussions of visibility and erasure within LGBTQ communities.
