Is there a geneticist in the house?

Any suggestion that people's genes are fixed in one particular way from the moment of conception is wrong. The expression ''bisexual''—I am never quite sure what it means—is now a commonplace in the language. It suggests that people can change their sexual proclivities at different stages of their life. That is a fact of life.
*boggle*
I think I'd support his "[not] sure what it means" wholeheartedly. As for the rest...
