Many comments in yesterday\u2019s post about self-identified bisexuals getting long COVID centered on a concern that self-identified bisexuals don\u2019t really date both sexes, and are just claiming to be bi because it\u2019s trendy.
Bisexuals themselves hate this and have written many articles and papers about why you shouldn\u2019t say it (1, 2, 3). But I especially appreciated a discussion in the comments between Nom de Flume, Ryan W, and others, giving a great statistical explanation for why it\u2019s tempting to believe this, but why it isn\u2019t true.
Suppose someone (let\u2019s say a woman) has exactly equal sexual attraction to both men and women.
