Abstract: To understand the contemporary use of sexual categories in shaping subjectivities, we must situate them within their historical and cultural context. The category ‘bisexual’ has faced rejection and erasure by Spanish feminism and the hegemonic LG movement. However, we are currently observing a resurgence of the label among younger generations. This paper examines the narratives surrounding bisexuality among Spanish youth within the framework of Spanish transfeminism. The qualitative analysis reveals narratives that emphasize bisexuality within a binary gender framework, alongside others that align with a broader spectrum of plurisexuality. This analysis also maps these subjectivities onto an ontology/epistemology matrix, helping us understand sexual identities through a political lens of identity.
