Controversal opinion, I don't think it's really ever appropriate for people to theorize about groups they're not apart of.
That's how you get things like "non binary people aren't oppressed" and "trans men are exactly like cis men in every way and therefore have male privilege" and "asexuals aren't LGBT" and "bisexuals have straight privilege" like maybe like, include the group you're theorizing about to talk about their experiences because it always ends up exclusionary otherwise.
Here is a sapphic songs spotify playist for bisexual women with songs made by bisexual women ๐ฉท๐๐ (just to be clear, it's not my playlist. I'm just highlighting it)
Happy Pride Month. I've always loved the two crent moons in the bisexual community. Also may tribute to the OG bisexyal symbol the 2 triangles.
Based on the original from this post, which is about how gnc women can still be women and don't have to id as nonbinary just bc they are gnc. I posted this in a reblog to that post, but felt it deserves its own post as well.
To be clear, I get why you may not want to call yourself bisexual even if it technically fits. I'm bisexual, too, but I've felt like that plenty of times in the past several years. Using only other terms for your sexuality is fine as well, or you can call yourself bi and other terms (e.g. bi and pansexual).
gotta highlight the ones that infuriate me the most from what iโve seen:
remaining ignorant about bi discourse
only speaking on biphobia when bi people use terms or speak in ways you donโt 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 isnโt just really overt stereotypes and hatred like โbis need to pick a sideโ โbisexuality isnโt real" โbi women are disgusting because theyโve slept with menโ โiโd never date a bi personโ
itโs 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 donโt 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 peopleโs discourse you are biphobic
if you are unaware of bi discourse you are biphobic
if you think bi peopleโs 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;ย ย it can be internalized:ย you still are biphobicย
itโs not always about what you do, itโs also about what you donโt do
bi people have suffered and died due to biphobia in the gay community and you donโt care
that makes you biphobic

Bisexual Woman flag <3
I chose pink for- not femininity as all women are beautiful whether theyโre masculine or feminine- but for femaleness. Purple for sapphicness and womanhood. And green since itโs an international womenโs day colour. I am so proud of this flag :)
