History JustForFun / KinseyScaleOfTropes

'''50/50:''' A bisexual person who finds both sexes equally attractive. See also EveryoneIsBi, AnythingThatMoves.

Another scale, a bit more detailed in explanation, works on percentages and ratios. It was not invented by Kinsey, but it is still applicable. Note that this scale applies only to the hetero/homo dichotomy, does not include UsefulNotes/{{Asexual}}s, and is referring to preferences and perceived sex, rather than self-identified gender. For instance, a non-binary (person with a gender neither male nor female) who presents as female is female under this scale, while if they presented as male instead, they'd be considered male.

'''100/0:''' A purely heterosexual person who is ''incapable'' of noticing attractiveness in their own sex, or even actively dislikes/considers them repellent. These people are extremely rare, though they do exist. There are more straights who claim this than those telling the truth. After all, you'd be a pretty crappy "alpha male" if you're unable to tell whether or not another man would be a threat to your harem. The HeManWomanHater sits here.

'''0/100:''' A purely homosexual person who is ''incapable'' of noticing attractiveness in the opposite sex, or even actively dislikes/considers them repellent. These people are extremely rare, though they do exist. Many [[StrawFeminist Straw Feminists]] seem to fit here. See also HetIsEw.

The Kinsey scale, named for Alfred Kinsey, a [[IncrediblyLamePun bi]]ologist, invented a seven-point-scale used to rate a person's orientation from 0, or completely heterosexual, to 6, or completely homosexual. This algorithm here shows where our many tropes relating to sexuality would fall on the scale.

Another scale, a bit more detailed in explanation, works on percentages and ratios. It was not invented by Kinsey, but it is still applicable. Note that this scale applies only to the hetero/homo dichotomy, does not include {{Asexual}}s, and is referring to preferences and perceived sex, rather than self-identified gender. For instance, a non-binary (person with a gender neither male nor female) who presents as female is female under this scale, while if ze presented as male instead, ze'd be considered male.

Note that this scale applies only to the hetero/homo dichotomy, does not include {{Asexual}}s, and is referring to preferences and perceived sex, rather than self-identified gender. Ergo, a transgender woman who "passes" in whatever circumstances the attraction occurs under is considered female for the purposes of this scale.
