Why does this comment start with "despite"? Aren't all [something]sexualities "attraction-defining terms"?

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Traditionally speaking, the terms heterosexual and homosexual tend to be exclusive by omitting attraction to the opposite sex. I was clarifying that a sapiosexual is not exclusively attracted to intellectuals.

*Now that sexuality is defined as a non-binary spectrum, some may disagree with my use of “opposite sex.” I admit I don’t know the correct way to convey the idea. I don’t mean to offend.
