The LGBTQ+ Handbook

Poised Polysexuals

Oh, lovely! The more we get into, the more weird this gets.

So, a polysexual. No, they aren't attracted to Polly Pockets, why would you even ask that? A polysexual is someone that is attracted to more than two genders, but not all of the genders.

And once again, we get the "What does that mean?" question.

Yes, it does get annoying to explain exactly what you are, the genders you are attracted to, and that there are in fact more than two genders. I should just suggest that everyone make pamphlets, bring extra note cards for questions, and just in case, make an emergency PowerPoint.

A lot of people assume all polysexuals are attracted to the same genders.

That is not true. That is far from the truth. Just because one polysexual is attracted to males, demi-males, females, and agender people does not mean that your other friend, who is also a polysexual, is attracted to the same thing. For God's sake, go and look up something once in your life, so you won't be so infuriatingly ignorant!

Coming out is also difficult. Oh dear.

You've not only got to explain what polysexual means, but you've also got to explain that there are more than two genders. Then you've got to explain what genders you are attracted to! I suggest leaving at least an hour or so free in your schedule so you can have the whole experience.

Yay! Wonderful! I do believe that the next chapter will be about coming out, no matter who you are. If you want to share your coming out story, just message me, or comment! We can help each other, and be good members to society!

I don't think that I will write every single different gender in here, as I need to fully understand everything before I can. That will take a long time, and Netflix keeps calling my name. If you want me to make a chapter on a specific gender or sexuality, however, I will do it.

If you want to help me write a chapter, or just talk to me, just message me! Strangers are fun to talk to!
