But I\u2019ve really never felt like \u201cbi\u201d applied to me, even if it might be arguably technically correct for anyone who isn\u2019t a solid Kinsey 0.<\/p>\n<p>So I think \u201cstatistically straight\u201d is a good way to put it. All of my relationships have been with people who (at the time, and as far as I know, carrying into the present) were and are cisgender women, so a graphed trend line would certainly go that direction, but the totality of my experiences plus my awareness of my own self would definitely introduce some wobbles into that theoretical trend line \u2014 certainly enough for a qualifier of some sort on the \u201cstraight\u201d designation. Hence, \u201cstatistically straight\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Bonus shots: My Pride Converse.
