    As a parent, I agree, I try to give my girls freedom, but the minute they did or messed up I brought the rope back in. Trust is earned and they learn this quick. Now that one is 18, the other two is 17, they tell me everything and still get freedom and they are good kids. Their friends on the other hand they lie and sneak out. Now do my kids lie yea I’m sure not naïve cause I know I did as a teen. But open communication and trust. That’s where it is at.

      Energy isn't identity.
      If a person talks publically about their sexual attraction to people of more than one gender, it's not a stretch to look up to them as an icon for people who can experience sexual attraction to more than one gender.
      You're right that identity labels are a different thing, which is why I and OP were careful about the wording.
