I remember Diyonysus, that's the God who was mapped onto Bacchus (or vice versa), right? Associated with mirth and wine and all that?

Anyway, the problem is we already have terms for the concepts of being bisexual and intersex. I would not find it useful to utilize a term that doesn't current directly mean anything specifically but which would start out as a metaphor for bisexual and/or intersex.

I'm very much about the idea that my body is male (not somewhere in-between) and my gender is feminine (not somewhere in-between). My orientation doesn't include erotic appreciation for male bodies or a desire for sexual attention for males, and that is also relevant (we have some cultural notion of feminine male-bodied people who are quite feminine and quite male-bodied, but they are strongly mapped onto assumptons that "what that's all about" is a same-sex sexual orientation) so I'm also very much about the idea that my identity happens to be one that has fallen between the cultural cracks so far, neither conventional cisgender hetero male nor gay or bi nor male-to-female transitioner but something else.
