Pronunciation

History & Etymology

Hemi-bisexual was coined by Discord user (and FANDOM user) Musephile on the 8th of June in 2021.[1]

Hemi-bisexual is also called media-bisexual, because "Media" translates to "half" in Spanish.

Originally this term was supposedly to be a recoin of Semi-Bisexual but no longer is due to the coiner's change of decision.

Flags

The hemi-bisexual flag was created by Musephile.[2] It is a more cooler tone from the original bisexual flag, the cooler tone and noise filter indicating the "feeling of hesitation of sorts" and along the "desire of wanting to be open about it."[3]

An alternate hemi-bisexual flag was designed by FANDOM user Uncertified Funny on June 11th of 2021.[4] It has no confirmed meaning.
