I think you have to classify yourself - or not - as you feel comfortable. Me, I feel comfortable calling myself bi, when honestly I mostly fancy celebrity blokes only and eye up women far more often. I think a part of that is for the lack of complication for everyone else I've told if I do settle down with a guy - even though my mother still doesn't get it and insists I keep changing my sexuality, reinforcing her argument that it's just a phase. :/ Sexuality should have as many different names as it needs, dammit. If we can take the time to name all the colours...

I am teal, I have decided. The specific ratio of girls to guys that I fancy makes me teal.

Hey, teal happens to be my favorite color. :D

♥ I approve of your new classification.

[perardua.livejournal.com]

Teal is an excellent colour and, I have no doubt, an excellent state of being!

If we can take the time to name all the colours...

Agreed, and I think the same (in a different way) goes for gender expression.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

Yes. And you should get to choose your colour, too, different meaning for every person. So then you can say 'I am burnt umber' and they don't get to make assumptions about what burnt umber means, how much sex that means you're having or how many partners or what positions. Instead they have to ask, if they want to know. If you're close enough that it's any of their business.

I'm pretty happy with it. :D Today is a peacocky kind of teal day, bouncy and shiny and rainbow-necklaced.

Teal is a lovely colour. ♥

[requiem2adream.livejournal.com]

And now I'm just loving your icon :D

[villainny.livejournal.com]

THEN CLEARLY IT IS PERFECT FOR ME!

*twirls*

That is very funny that you are teal because the colors I have for you on my flist are dark teal on light teal. Apparently I know you v.v. well!

[villainny.livejournal.com]

I am so stupidly delighted that you still have that icon, okay. :D

♥ for you

[jumperkid.livejournal.com]

I will keep this icon until I am released from my minionhood or I die.

*smishes respectfully*

[villainny.livejournal.com]

I AM KEEPING YOU HA

[torakowalski.livejournal.com]

Teal is an awesome colour &hearts

I feel more like a dark orchid myself.

[villainny.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, purdy.

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

I approve. *hunts for swatch-chart*

[soupytwist.livejournal.com]

I think teal is an excellent choice!

I think I am probably a plaid of some kind.

[crysothemis.livejournal.com]

Teal! So pretty. It suits you well.

[chkc.livejournal.com]

Teal is such a pretty colour. I am glad that you created a classification that you are comfortable and happy with. <3

[schiarire.livejournal.com]

I like it! ♥

[ihavecake.livejournal.com]

Very yes.

This. Although I occasionally call myself a massive dyke when joking with my lady.

I think I'm oxblood.

. Instead they have to ask, if they want to know.
Though I don't use facebook, I do actually like their use of the phrase "It's complicated", because a natural question from that word is "well, how is it complicated?" - and that just leads open discussion, hence greater understanding.
