Straight or curved?

"Lip Service" made me realize, don't take it for granted that you have to be straight, maybe we just haven't met the guy who bent us. We fall in love with someone of the opposite sex or the same sex, maybe just because they happen to be the opposite sex or the same sex, so we think we are straight or curved. It seems more appropriate to maintain an openness to self-understanding when the latent us are not yet awakened. It is possible that only concepts such as "male" and "female" are pure, and there are no pure men and women in this world. Each of us is a mixture of "male" and "female" in different proportions, we are both men and women. As Weininger argues in Sex and Character, each of us is a hermaphrodite, and if this premise holds (of course he offers plenty of anatomical, psychological and even philosophical defenses), "the straight Differences like "curved" and "curved" are meaningless. "Sex and Character" is really a masterpiece. After many years, my understanding of gender issues has not exceeded the conclusion of this book, because its persuasiveness is too powerful.
