What is a BaB
A BaB, or battle-axe bisexual, is a bisexual who fights against biphobia in all of its forms.
This includes the concept of a multisexual spectrum, or m-spec for short.
M-spec
identities
The multisexual spectrum is a "spectrum" of sexualities attracted to multiple genders, this includes bisexual, polysexual, omnisexual, and pansexual.
These are harmful to bisexuality because it forces it into a box, when its really meant to be a fluid identity encompassing all attraction to multiple genders.
