Wiki Education assignment: Research Process and Methodology - RPM SP 2022 - MASY1-GC 1260 201 Thu

This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 27 February 2022 and 5 May 2022. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): YC5039 (article contribs).

Question

Cite: "The Kinsey scale says that having a higher level attraction to one gender results in less attraction to the other, which some studies do not support.[39]" How does the Kinsey scale say that? It doesn't seem to say anything about "how strong" attraction is, it just measures if its more towards female or male. Does it really say that people in the middle of the scale can't be equally uninterested in men and women? Doesn't the message stay the same? "More people than you'd think are capable of feeling attraction towards male and female bodies."

this page was obviously made by a transphobe using words like "attracted to both males and females" which isn't the actual definition of bisexual
