and God can be identified with by everyone
Also I am an individual neopagan, not a Catholic any more.

A theory is something that can be tested by searching for
evidence, as mine could be by surveys/interviews.

I use bisexual by nature since some bisexuals (attracted to
both genders) are straight by lifestyle choice (choose
to have sex just with the opposite sex), and also
unfortunately some gays and lesbians try to act bisexual
or straight (though this is forced in some societies/religions).
Also I think bisexuals are far more common that surveys
might indicate.
Perhaps purestraight is not a good term, since they are not
particularly pure, especially when they have a series
of relationships with bisexuals of the opposite gender,
but are when they get hooked up with a purestraight of
the opposite gender. But in my theory I have two types of
straight: purestraight, optimally compatible with purestraight
of the opposite gender, and fourth orientation, compatible
only with bisexual(s) of the opposite gender, and also
many bisexuals say they are straight.

I think those are what I call multispirit individuals, though
some may be simply transgendered.

1MT would be optimally compatible with 1F but might have
to settle for 3F. When I say watch for I mean in
seeking evidence for the theory.

So yes, it is based mainly on my own sexual experiences and
attractions, but the matches that I intuited from late March 8
to early March 20, 2019, including e.g. 4F Joni Mitchell
with 3M Tom Waits, are testable.

Yes, if you survey people and some bisexuals say they
are straight and some lesbians say they are bisexual.
That would have to be accounted for in testing the
theory; orientation must be based just on who one
is attracted to.

I commented on asexuals more in another followup a little
while ago
