I hate how they say bisexual and not intersex. Even hermaphrodite would be better. God damn

    They did address it in a chapter that it was an accidental mistranslation

    Hey, not to be that person but bisexual has both the meaning to have both sexual organs and to be attracted to two or more sexes. The former has just fallen out of use and the latter skyrocketed in the public consciousness. I’m not saying they should have used it, it’s outdated. But using hermaphrodite to describe a human being is considered both outdated and offensive so it’s def not better.

    Anyways here’s a research article using bisexual, the opposite of unisexual. If anything, a case could be made that bisexual is equally offensive as hermaphrodite because in the biology context they are synonyms. But that’s not the point of my reply

    Yeah I put my tag as hermaphroditism cause it’s not bisexuality. Also to scratch up, even if that *was* the case, the politically correct term now is hermaphroditism as that’s what it would be called in medical records. Bisexual is in reference to sexual preference. Even if they use to be synonymous, they aren’t now.
