So I think I might be bi? But if I am it changes almost nothing about my life because I am happily and monogamously married. But if it doesn't really matter, why do I have so many feelings about it???? Anyways, I am asking you because it seems like there is a 50/50 chance of a delightful and pithy answer or a picture of a bird as an answer.

“why bother writing bisexual characters if they just end up in a m/f relationship”

my dude

my guy

my pal

stop talking forever

[catboy-prussia]

Oh I have never reblogged faster in my life

[hugealienpie]

Watching my bi friends’ identities get erased when they‘re in m/f relationships makes me think it’s even MORE important to write bi characters in m/f relationships and then be REALLY BLATANT about the fact that one or both of them is bi.

Why Is "Bisexual" Such A Charged Word In 2019?

As the language around gender and sexuality broadens, what it means to be bisexual broadens, too—making it all the more important to attend

“Language is fluid and changes to reflect our growth as people and as a society. It should both serve to unify and clarify. We all deserve words to describe the nuances of our experience and to speak about our commonalities.”

I hate men as much as anyone else but it’s rly annoying that bi women have to like constantly downplay their attraction to men to be taken seriously in the lgbt community and god forbid be in a relationship with one…. annoying

[bisexuanal]

Ok I wanna expand on this

Bi women are kinda expected to just not be with men if they have like. Common sense or something. You see it everywhere. Victim blaming attitudes towards bi women with men from within the bi community usually along the lines of “if she hadn’t been with a man that wouldn’t have happened”

And a recent examoke is the anon I got the other day saying (to what degree of seriousness who knows lol) sleeping with men makes u a class traitor.

So anyways these attitudes can force bi women to choose between community and a relationship that can serve in some cases where the man is abusive to further isolate bi women.

And I’ve seen some people say welll ok if they’re with men then why don’t they go to str8 resources. And it’s like ok. Well for one they aren’t straight that should be enough but let’s go a bit further. Bi women experience unique types of abuse at the intersection of misogyny and biphobia and connected to misconceptions about bisexuals in general. They are also more vulnerable to abuse than straight women because again - they face abuse unique to bi women.

some say the solution is for bi women to just. Not date men. Especially when a bi woman dares criticize or express anger towards men. Which literally isn’t possible for some who for example may live where they can’t be out as a bisexual, where there isn’t much of an lgbt community. And umm sometimes you just fall in love with a man because that’s the whole thing with bisexuality lol.

By not allowing bi women space in the community when in relationships with men including space to talk about those relationships and their partner. And with obviously exceptions have their partner with them in community spaces if they choose to bring them - you further isolate an already very vulnerable group of the lgBt community and are a contributing factor to our high rate of abuse.

as pride month comes to a close, i want to give a shoutout to all the closeted people who stuck it through. it’s so hard to see everyone celebrating pride when you can’t say or do anything to show you’re pride. if you’re closeted, just know that you are loved🌈

[hamimagines]

I really really needed to hear this

[bismuthbisexual]

it’s okay not to come out!

[aubreeno]

Happy pride month :P
