Draft for a proper multisexual article bc it currently is just a redirect to "bisexual community" claiming that all multisexual identities are bi, which is incorrect.

Multisexuality is an umbrella term for the spectrum of sexual orientations where one is attracted to multiple genders.[1] It is the opposite of monosexuality. Terms such as bisexual, pansexual, omnisexual, and polysexual fall under the multisexual spectrum, as well as microlabels such as disexual and trisexual.[2] Multisexual spectrum may be shortened to m-spec.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).

Multisexuality is also known as non-monosexuality or monodissidence.[3]

The most common alternate term is plurisexuality, and individuals using that term may refer to themselves as plurarians.

History and Use

The term multisexual first appeared in the 1970s. It has been used as a scientific term since then.[4] It gained popularity for casual use in the 2010s during the rise of online discussions, and was shortened to m-spec.

Multisexual is frequently promoted as an alternative to the terms multiple gender attraction (MGA), bisexual spectrum, bi+, and bisexual umbrella. Proponents of the term say that it is more inclusive of non-bisexual identities.

As compared to monosexuals in the LGBTQ+ community (such as homosexuals), multisexual individuals have higher rates of mental health difficulties and lower rates of acceptance from others.[5]
