名词
性偏好
a term that refers to an individual's choice or inclination in sexual partners, often used to describe heterosexuality, homosexuality, or bisexuality. This term is sometimes considered outdated or problematic by some LGBTQ+ advocates, who prefer 'sexual orientation' to emphasize that it is not a choice.
示例:
•
The survey asked participants about their sexual preference.
该调查询问了参与者的性偏好。
•
Some people prefer the term 'sexual orientation' over 'sexual preference' to avoid implying choice.
有些人更喜欢用“性取向”而不是“性偏好”，以避免暗示选择。
