Why does it bother you if all humans were bi?

I can't speak for Cheri. For me, it wouldn't bother me at all if all humans were bi, though given I'm married I'd be less able to take advantage of the situation.

However, it is somewhat bothersome that someone decides what reality is for everyone else.

I'm not saying I haven't on occassion doubted the orientation someone has told me they were, but I'd never presume to tell them they were wrong. If they are, they'll figure it out for themselves sooner or later.

The vast majority of the time, it seems to me people know themselves better than I know them; and even in the minority of the time when I think they're mistaken, I'd not presume to speak for them in such a personal fashion.

I realize you were stating a general principle you believe to be true about humans in general, but given that it contradicts some folk's understanding of themselves - well, I am on the side of folks getting to decide for themselves what is truth for them.

Orientation can't be measured from the outside.
