All these "just say you're bi lol i promise it is okay to be bi" posts are always written in bad faith. They act like bi people who id as something else do this out of malice rather than struggling with their identity in the society that hates bisexuals. These people dont care about bi people feeling comfortable with their bisexuality, they just want us to "stay in our lane". Not to mention these posts always make internalized biphobia something that is our own fault.
you're absolutely right, and i was only trying to be reasonable because i'm afraid of confrontation. i actually already had that blog blocked from my main so i have no doubt OP was a biphobe who portrays our every interaction with lesbianism as forced and malicious anyway. the tags were about mspec lesbians, which i don't talk about here, but nobody ever assumes innocent until proven guilty with bisexuals, and anyone who identified that way must be doing it to encourage corrective rape and conversion therapy rather than because they struggle with an internal identity or even just genuinely believe it's right for themselves, whether true or not.
this is very true 100% and i wish more people would openly say they're bisexual instead of something else, but we need to examine the actual underlying reasons that this overwhelming denial exists instead of just demonizing these bi ppl for pretending otherwise.
straights, lesbians, gays, and pans all hate bis more than each other and it couldn't be more blatantly obvious. regardless of which gender(s) we date, we are morally bad and inherently red flags who don't experience pain but only inflict it. we're too straight for gays and too gay for straights. it's not really a wonder when you think about it why many bi sapphics would hope blending in with lesbians is a good idea (those with internalized homophobia and/or religious guilt who don't really interact with the queer community much may be more likely to do the same with straights). i'm not saying they're right to do so, just as a lesbian with comphet would be wrong to both bisexuals and themself to try believing they're bi instead, but it is a common logical thought process to assume the grass is greener on the other side. it's not exclusive to... any given concept, really, let alone queer struggles.
some of you lot will say ANYTHING to avoid admitting that youre just bisexual fr huh
bisexual sapphics are allowed to be assigned lesbianism, but never may they have autonomy to label themselves.
The thing is, radfems (and other biphobic lesbians) DON'T have a problem with bisexual women using "lesbian terms". Not really.
They see a woman talking about her attraction to women, and call her a lesbian with no further thought. They see a masc woman, and they call her a butch, or the d-slur (affectionately). They see a pair of women in a relationship, they call them a "lesbian couple". They see no issue with these things. If you have a problem with it, maybe you should figure out why you have such a big problem with the word "lesbian"!
It's good, when it's used for bisexual erasure. Thus, the only conclusion we can draw is that their real problem lies in bisexual women having the autonomy to call themselves these terms.
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
Like, look at it
It looks like a sunset

#the sky is bi confirmed
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

all biphobes ever do is lie, and this is perfect proof lmao
Here is a sapphic songs spotify playist for bisexual women with songs made by bisexual women 🩷💜💙 (just to be clear, it's not my playlist. I'm just highlighting it)
I love this flag and term, and my hecatic flag was inspired by it!

If a bisexual woman disagrees with me I will immediately change my views. I have no principles

Bi women can’t talk about being in relationships with men because that’s seen as forcing heterosexuality upon gay and lesbian people. Bi women who previously identified as something other than bi can’t talk about the process of realizing they were bi because that’s seen as forcing heterosexuality upon lesbians. Bi women can only talk about being in relationships with women if they add 15 caveats about how they hate other bi women now and have discarded their bisexuality. Bi women in relationships with bi men or with lesbians have to swear up and down that they aren’t fetishizing their partners.
Bi women can’t talk about being happy (either single or in a relationship) because then people will take that as us having no problems in the world. Bi people can’t talk about mundane issues such as media representation or language about bisexuals because that’s too trivial. Bi women can’t talk about their sex lives or wanting to be polyamorous because that’s seen as too dirty and too gross and too predatory. Bi women can’t produce or consume “sappy wuhluhwuh content” because that’s seen as defanging and disrespecting lesbian identity and yet they can’t talk about bisexual social alienation/trauma/invisibility/loneliness because “invisibility is a privilege” and because “those things are just stolen terms from gay and lesbian people”.
Bi women can’t talk about being unicorn hunted on dating apps because apparently they don’t face that issue and instead perpetuate it and force lesbians to have threesomes with their male partners (apparently). Bi women can’t talk about intracommunity biphobia without being told that we aren’t radical for dating men and that LGBT spaces are safe gay spaces that we’d be invading.
Bi women can’t call themselves gay even when they’re in gay relationships. Bi women can’t call themselves tops or bottoms even when they’re having regular gay sex. Bi women can’t call themselves queer because that’s a slur but oh wait, it’s okay when other people weaponize that word against us. Bi women can’t call themselves masc or femme because they’d be stealing those terms from lesbians but oh wait they can’t call themselves tomcats, does, or stags because those terms are cringeworthy imitations of butch/femme. Bi women can’t talk about gender expression without being told they’re appropriating “real” gay culture. Bi women can’t talk about femininity without being told they perform it for men and bi women can’t talk about masculinity without being told that being bi makes it impossible for them to be masculine.
Bi women can’t talk about how unique relationships between bi women and bi men or bi women and bi women or bi men and bi men are. Bi women can’t call their relationships “bisexual” relationships because that’s somehow “anti-materialism”. Bi women can’t talk about loving their male partners because that’s anti-feminist but they can’t talk about hating men as a class or their trauma with respect to men without being told that it means they must actually be “lesbians suffering from comphet”.
Bi women can’t talk about solidarity with LGBT people without being seen as selfish, nor can they talk about just bi women without being seen as selfish.
Bi women can’t talk about the material, systemic, and sexual violence we face because apparently it isn’t real, no matter how much empirically validated proof we offer, and if we do talk about it, we’re stealing lesbian specific experiences or erasing lesbian specific experiences or trying to claim gay and lesbian specific experiences.
Bi women can’t talk about our place in overall LGBT history (because we were apparently invented in 1998) and we can’t talk about bisexual history (because that’s *spins wheel* taking the focus off the REAL radicals in the community).
Bi women have to be politically perfect all the time and have to allow people to scrutinize their personal lives and interpersonal relationships and sexual histories/traumas but it’s okay for people to not be in solidarity with us or to even offer us an ounce of empathy (and if we ask for it we’re whiny, selfish, and crying about non-issues). Bi women have to hate themselves and each other and hold each other responsible for all the world’s problems 24/7 but can never hold people responsible for biphobia.
Bi women can’t even talk about any of these things on their own blogs, in their own spaces, on their own time, with other bi women, because that’s just too much.
There really is no winning.
Image description: A Twitter thread from @BlizzardAvis that reads,
[Tweet 1] "If your criticism of bi women is 'well sometimes they bring their homophobe boyfriends to gay bars' oh boy do I have news for you about *your* transphobic and racist same sex partner in gay bars."
[Tweet 2] "You don't care about the safety of queer people in gay bars, you are just bimisogynistic."
[Tweet 3] You know what! Let's add to this. Why is your first instinct to blame the bi woman, who is very obviously in an abusive relationship and suffers from his homophobia more than any of you combined? Why aren't you offering her help? An escape? Resources to help her leave her abuser?"

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
