我是雙性戀嗎？

我是雙性戀嗎？

If you"re asking yourself "Am I Bisexual?" then here"s a handy checklist:

如果你在為「我是雙性戀嗎？」這個問題糾結，以下是能夠幫助到你的一個便捷的清單：

Thinking about the people you"ve been attracted to, so far in your life, were they all of the same gender?

想想迄今為止在你生命中為你所吸引的人，他們都是同一性別嗎？

If you answered "No", to any or all of the questions in our list above then we feel it"s okay for you to call yourself bisexual. We don"t care how attracted you are to the genders around you - you"re bisexual as soon as you stop being exclusively attracted to only one sex.

如果你的答案是「不是」，那麼以上我們清單中所列出來的的任何一個問題都能讓你自稱為雙性戀。我們不關心你痴迷身邊人的程度，但是一旦你停止被一種性別的人所吸引這種行為，那麼你就是雙性戀。

That"s it. It really is as easy as that.

就是這樣子，就是這麼簡單。

How you chose to self-identify is up to you - you can call yourself bi-curious, or pansexual, or biromantic, or omnisexual if you feel more comfortable with those terms (see our article "Is Bisexuality Mandatory?" for more on this).Some people identify as straight and have same-sex attractions. Some identify as gay and have different-sex attractions. How you label yourself is a matter of personal choice, but no matter what you add into the definition of gay, straight, or how you define bicurious or pansexual, the definition of bisexual as a sexuality remains very simple. It doesn"t matter if you"d describe yourself as "attracted to men and women" or if you see gender as more fluid - we don"t say "more than two" or "at least two".

你怎樣選擇自我認同感是你的自由——只要是你覺得合適，你可以自稱為泛性主義者等（見文章「雙性戀是強制的嗎？」獲取更多內容）。某些人被認為是直的但同時有同性傾向，某些人被標籤為男同可能同時也為異性所吸引。你怎樣標註你自己是你的自由，但是不管你怎樣定義同性戀，直男，或者你怎樣定義泛性主義等詞語，作為性向，雙性戀的定義依然很簡單。這與你怎樣描述「為男人和女人著迷」沒有關係，與你認為性別具有不固定性也沒有關係，我們不會說「多於兩個」或者「至少兩個」。

Many people have attitudes about bisexuals, based around myths and assumptions, and these have been tagged on to the definition of bisexual over the years.

很多人對於雙性戀的態度都是基於迷或者假想的前提，而這些已經作為標籤附在雙性戀的定義上很多年了。

It"s time to strip those off. The greatest tool in awareness is language, and bisexual has a very clear meaning.

是時候將這些都揭除掉了。認識最偉大的工具就是語言，而雙性戀應該有一個很清晰的定義界限。

Don"t worry about not being a "proper" or "true" bisexual - it"s okay to have a preference or to only be attracted to one gender at a time for parts of your life. The dictionary definition does not say "currently", or "equally", or "simultaneously" or "only", and neither does ours!

不要擔心是一個「真正」或者說「確切」的雙性戀——有傾向是一件很好的事情，或許在你人生中的某個階段你僅僅只為一種性別的人所吸引。詞典里的定義不會用「一般地」或者「同樣地」、「同樣地」、「僅僅」等詞語。我們應該也一樣。

This is how we define it: A bisexual is someone who is attracted to more than one gender. You might care about the gender of your partner a lot, a little, or not at all - but their gender doesn"t prevent you from being attracted to them.

以下即是我們怎樣定義它的：雙性戀是指某人被多於一種性別的人所吸引。你可能對於你同伴的性別很關心、或者一點點關心、甚至於很冷淡一點都不關心——但是他們的性別不能阻止你為他們所吸引。

That"s all it takes, seriously. Are you bisexual?

以上就是全部，嚴肅的說。你是雙性戀嗎？
