actually, in some circles, the word was interchangeable! can't speak on japan's behalf, but you can still find a few american queers of older generations who ID as bisexual as in genderfluid, not necessarily for who they're attracted to. this may have been reflected in the translations, or a similar phenomena could have been the case over there, i wouldn't really know.

Shout out to pre-2000s anime with completely unintentional trans rep because the writer genuinely thought that being bisexual and being genderfluid were the same thing.
