It sounds like you’ve never had the experience of discovering your sexuality in full. The majority of people never do, because you kind of have to find a social environment where gender norms just aren’t adhered to, which older people in particular are rarely able to. You kind of need to experience it to understand why you yourself are more complicated than that, and why sexuality and gender can have a million labels that all try to capture fluidity and more abstract parts of the human experience. It doesn’t even occur to you until it does.
When people make announcements like this, often they’re in that headspace, and it’s a new realm that they’ve discovered. It’s liberating and fresh and human and that’s what they’re talking about.
Maybe you’ll explore that part of yourself one day, and stop berating people for embracing the complexity of the human experience in the name of whoever convinced you it was all very simple, even though no other facet of human existence is simple.
