i'm tempted to say "they're dating" but of course the whole point is they're not and that's the tragedy of a century. they are platonic partners, allies in arms, besties for life, love & light in solidarity!
Les4Les:
A lesbian who prefers to date other lesbians rather than other sexualities due to shared experiences. This does not mean they won't date someone of a different sexuality, they just have a preference for dating the same sexuality.
Bi4Bi:
A bisexual who prefers to date other bisexuals rather than other sexualities due to shared experiences. This does not mean they won't date someone of a different sexuality, they just have a preference for dating the same sexuality.
The problem with commercial F/M romance is that it's written by the most heterosexual women alive and reading it you feel yourself slowly suffocating from the Gender of it all like a fish in a eutrophying lake. And what we actually need as a culture is F/M written by insane bisexuals violently allergic to heteronormativity
People who get really bothered by the fact that bisexual women like men are so funny to me . “Bisexual women be like I am into a man 😂” yes that is something that often happens when a person is bisexual
gotta highlight the ones that infuriate me the most from what i’ve seen:
remaining ignorant about bi discourse
only speaking on biphobia when bi people use terms or speak in ways you don’t like
if you are unaware of bi discourse you are biphobic
if you are unaware of the major ways the media and certain prominent gay creators and activists are biphobic you are biphobic
biphobia isn’t just really overt stereotypes and hatred like “bis need to pick a side” ‘bisexuality isn’t real" “bi women are disgusting because they’ve slept with men” “i’d never date a bi person”
it’s also remaining silent about bi issues
remaining ignorant about bi discourse
remaining silent when biphobia happens
speaking in ways that indirectly erase bi people
speaking in ways that imply bi people are more privileged or powerful than gay people
remaining silent when bi erasure and biphobia happens in the media
only speaking on biphobia when bi people use terms or speak in ways you don’t like
speaking with authority on biphobia when you are not bi
denying the importance of bi spaces and bi community
remaining silent on the higher levels of substance abuse, unemployment, mental disability, abuse and sexual assault of bi people, esp bi women
ignoring the unique aspects of the bi experience
etc
if you have never blogged/reblogged about biphobia except to call out bi people you are biphobic
if you have never spoken about biphobia other than to critique bi people’s discourse you are biphobic
if you are unaware of bi discourse you are biphobic
if you think bi people’s experiences are not unique or important you are biphobic
if you are unaware of the major ways the media and certain prominent gay creators and activists are biphobic you are biphobic
if you ignore the ways in which gay people have shut bi people out of their communities and erased bi people and undermined bi solidarity you are biphobic
and even if you are multisexual and you do these things; it can be internalized: you still are biphobic
it’s not always about what you do, it’s also about what you don’t do
bi people have suffered and died due to biphobia in the gay community and you don’t care
that makes you biphobic
For lesbians and bisexual women who have an interest in older/classic (until around late 20th century) WLW culture, labels, lexicon and development. Based off flowers symbolising sapphic love.
Violet: speaks for itself Off-white: lilies Dark purple and yellow: two kinds of crocus flower (which Sappho described draping a beautiful woman), specifically the breeds that grow on Lesbos. Deep orange: saffron, which is harvested from crocus (see above.)
Happy bisexual visibility month 💙💜💖
As a nonbinary bisexual in a long term relationship with another nonbinary bisexual this is important and I’m v tired of the biphobia and transphobia coming from the “bisexual people are only attracted to (cis) men and women” take I’m sure we’ve all seen too often
