I Was Recently Made Aware Of The Trillium Grandiflorum! A Gorgeous Species Of Flowering Plant Native

I was recently made aware of the Trillium Grandiflorum! A gorgeous species of flowering plant native to the eastern half of the USA and Canada. It is a beautiful flower with a three pronged petal shape framed by three leaf like bracts (a modified or specialized leaf, especially one associated with a reproductive structure such as a flower, inflorescence axis, or cone scale) and it blooms from late spring to early summer in the mountain ranges and hills of the Appalachian upland forest.

In 1998 - 99, The creator of the bisexual pride flag, Michael Page suggested these flowers as a symbol for bisexuality, as the flower was reminiscent of the bi-angles (a set of three triangles in the bisexual colors) and it was a perfect example of sexual dimorphism (meaning it contains both male and female structure, which in older scientific literature was often referred to as being botanically bisexual).

It is also written about: ‘White trillium often occurs in dense drifts of many individuals.’ which calls to the vast unity of the bisexual community.

Many thanks to @lxdybi for introducing me to this flower and to its significance to the bisexual community.

At this link there is a collection of other bisexual symbols and motifs that have been used through the history of our community so if you’d like to learn more take a look! Im excited to use some of the symbols in my future bisexual art and design projects, and i hope some of you will join in with me too! it’s quite nice to find a bit more of bisexual culture <3

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

i just realized smth and idk if it'll make sense but

if 'bi' as in bisexual means two, and 'tri' as in triangle means three, then surely this symbol is inconsistent (yes it's actually just meant to be two triangles and the third one isn't real, but this is about the number of sides, just stay with me here)

that being said, just like how bilingual doesn't mean there's only two languages, bisexual doesn't mean there's only two genders

bisexuality is inclusive ─ boys, girls, other, all, in-between, neither

bisexuality is not limited to its prefix
