When we said 20biteen we meant bi as in bisexual not biphobia
sorry to ruin yalls fun but dismantling biphobic stereotypes (specifically those targeting women) shouldn’t be considered “low priority” on your list of issues facing the lgbt community.
in the CDC’s report on ipv and sexual violence by sexual orientation, the top two key findings stated:
1. “Bisexual women had significantly higher lifetime prevalence of rape and sexual violence other than rape by any perpetrator when compared to both lesbian and heterosexual women.”
2. “Bisexual women had significantly higher lifetime prevalence of rape, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner when compared to both lesbian and heterosexual women.”
The two most common stereotypes facing bisexuals are:
* Bisexuals are unfaithful. They cannot commit to one gender/one person/one relationship *
• 1/3 bisexual women have reported stalking victimization at some point in their life, compared to 1/6 heterosexual women.
• 61.1% of bisexual women report physical intimate partner violence (compared to 43.8% of lesbians and 35% of heterosexual women),with 49.3% reporting severe physical violence (compared to 29.4% of lesbians and 23.6% of heterosexual women.)
37.3% of bisexual men report physical intimate partner violence (compared to 26% of gay men and 29% of heterosexual men)
Stereotypes surrounding bisexuals ability to remain loyal to their partner results in toxic and abusive relationships. Bisexuals in relationships are met with possessiveness, jealousy, distrust, stalking, and abuse.
* Bisexuals are promiscuous/slutty/down for anything *
• 46.1% of bisexual women have experienced rape (compared to 13.1% of lesbians and 17.4% of heterosexual women)
• The lifetime prevalence of sexual violence other than rape for bisexual women was reported at 74.9% (compared to 46.4% of lesbians and 43.3% of heterosexual women)
• 47.4% of bisexual men report sexual violence other than rape (compared to 40.2% of gay men and 20.8% of heterosexual men)
Enforcing the idea that bisexuals are inherently “down to fuck” promotes the idea that we do not have sexual boundaries and therefore consent is not necessary. This stereotype works to deny bisexuality as an identity and promote bisexuality as a “behavior.”
Simply writing these statistics off as misogyny or homophobia erases the real effects biphobic stereotypes and stigma has on people, and prevents us from addressing the root cause of this culture of violence.
The stereotypes we joke about, the stereotypes we do little to effectively combat are directly linked to the violence we face.
Being bisexual is weird because like I don’t know about other bisexuals, but bi-erasure is so strong that even I think I’m faking it sometimes?? like one day I’ll wake up and be like “I’m obviously living a lie I’m a giant homosexual??” but then a second later I’ll be like “Am I just a straight person lying to myself???” Its like I forget my own orientation exists
this is legit how i feel sometimes, and the guilt i feel when i wake up with the ‘living-a-lie’ feeling when i see my husband beside me… like wow.

Reblog if you’re a man-hating bi girl
Take a breath
Say it. Normalize it. Strip the pornification away from it. Erase your embarrassment.
“bi”
bi women, repeat this to yourself: your sexuality is not a “performance” for anyone. it’s one incredible aspect of you as an individual woman with the ability to manifest whatever you’d like. your desires are your own. your sexuality is for you and only you!
Things bisexual girls aren’t: - half lesbian and half straight Things bisexual girls are: - bisexual - really cool
maybe im just projecting but i feel like a big part of being bi is just like………….. having gender forced on you constantly.
of course this technically applies to everyone because we live in a society but i feel like with bisexuality there’s a specific way its done, like, as a punishment for being holier than thou and trying to act like you’re “above” recognizing gender.
like being asked what gender you prefer, looking for patterns in your dating history and sex life, bi women’s attraction to women being treated as a performance to attract men, bi men’s attraction to women being seen as a façade to hide their attraction to men, categorizing us based on the gender of our (current, potential, or completely made up) partners….. it all feels so similar to the times people have gotten mad at me for not modifying my behavior after being told “girls are supposed to do x”or “that’s what boys do”. like there’s some code we’re all supposed to live by and by saying i don’t take it into account im either naïve and don’t understand how the world really works or im consciously abstaining specifically to prove that im better than everyone else
I have nothing much to add to this but I relate really hard
Pink + Yellow Valentines Febfems 💕💛
i hope every bi girl is having a nice day & i hope when u go to sleep u have nice dreams too
Bi girls who don’t want sex: 💝💯✨🎉🌹 Bi girls who want a lot of sex: 💖💯✨🎉🌹 Bi girls who only want sex inside a relationship: 💓💯✨🎉🌹 Bi girls who want casual sex with friends or strangers: 💟💯✨🎉🌹 Your bi-ness does not dictate your sex drive or preferences, and whatever you want or choose is a-okay! Whatever you do, have fun and be safe 🎆
If I’ve said this once I’ve said it a hundred times but being a woman who is bi enables you to pursue other women! Your bisexuality grants you the ability to love and cherish other women romantically and/or sexually!
Bi women pursing/dating/engaged/married to women can do that Because they are bi! Being bi isn’t always a stepping stone and the bi women who continue to identify as bi while dating women aren’t hindering themselves or leaving themselves open to dating men in the future.
You’re engaging with women BECAUSE you are bi and being bi enables you to do that!
honestly in an ideal world i would live with my wife in a house with a vegetable garden and we’d make our own furniture and take a couples pottery class and i’d work as some kind of a herbalist/counselor mashup
‘Bisexual’ is such a beautiful word, and the colours of the flag are beautiful too.
And it is a beautiful thing to be biseuxal.
To all the bisexuelles struggling with dysphoria…
Your strength is inspiring and your worth is beyond words. It will get easier and you have a community supporting you 💗💜💙
