Blade Bi - Blog Posts

bisexuals of the blade 💜 ⚔️ 🗡

meaning: a solidarity movement made up of bisexuals who support all of our m-spec siblings, whether they’re pan, ply, omni, or beyond!

I’m really tired of following bi positivity blogs only to find out somewhere down the line that they’re part of an exclusionist group called the “battleaxe bis” (anti pansexual/polysexual/omnisexual/any multi-gender-attracted label that’s not ‘bi’), so I thought I’d try spreading a message of support and acceptance instead!

- FAQ -

what makes someone a ‘blade bisexual’?

all you have to do is acknowledge and uplift pan/ply/omni/etc. people!

are there any symbols we can use to signify we’re bi people who support other m-spec orientations?

yes! personally, I’ve been using the following:

sword (of any kind)

double/dual-wielded swords

purple heart

official flag (see above image)

I wholeheartedly support pan/ply/omni/etc. people. what can I do to join?

to show your support, put at least one of the previous symbols somewhere in your bio using emojis!

that’s everything I can think of! if you have any more questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! 🌈

there actually already exists such a thing as “bisexuals of the blade”, which follows the same notion, however i love your idea that it’s inspired by the iconic bi4bi wives — plus, this flag is more distinctive (in my opinion)!

Blade Bisexual! 🗡️💖💜💙🗡️

Inspired by: the Bisexuals of the Blades (iconic bi wives) who were commonly mistaken (even by their own wedding photographer!) as lesbians. Bisexuals are a force to be reckoned with <3

While Battleaxe Bisexual is a panphobic notion (and the flag doesn’t resemble the bi flag as well as it could!) I do appreciate the idea of a term for bisexuals that look at the nuances around how bisexuals are treated. Blade Bisexual is not against pansexuality, however, is critical of how pansexuality has been far too often seen as a “better alternative” than bisexuality. I think that a few well meaning bisexuals who are exhausted with biphobia can be swept up into the Battleaxe Bi community. It is no excuse, but vulnerable ppl can be taken in and influenced by harmful notions. Blade Bisexual advocates for bisexuals without it being a footnote or stepping stone to gay/lesbian, or an “outdated version of pan”. And swords are just as cool as axes!

Being exclusive is not always a bad thing!! While pride is open to everybody- queer ppl of any time, cishet allies, ppl who are questioning, etc. there are also queer clubs, communities, bars, that are lgbtq ONLY. And that’s so necessary. Lgbtq ppl need a space away from cishets- while joining vast communities is so important, we do not need that all the time. I also think that bisexuals need their own spaces (just as gays/lesbians have their own spaces) for their solidarity.

Blade Bisexual is against biphobia, and is less about “all lgbtq should stick together all the time!!!1!” and more about “while the lgbtq is all valid and is not a choice, there are too many biphobes within cishets and the rest of the queer community as well”. Blade Bisexual is about bisexual solidarity, bisexual love and bisexual romance, bisexual friendship, bisexual pride, and that well earned bisexual rage ;) Blade Bisexual is just a less hateful version of Battleaxe Bisexual tbh.
