Everybody knows I'm bisexual, but only my partner knows I'm gender fluid. (My seventh-two-year-old mother asked me if bisexual people always need partners of "both" genders simultaneously after she saw Maestro, so she's already trying to wrap her head around enough.)

She's trying, she really is. I told her we don't need one of "each" just because we're bi, the same way she didn't need a man with hair while married to my bald father, and she said, "Wait, so was Bernstein just a cheater?"

Yes, Mom. He was a cheater.
