basically what i n a lotta other bi ppl have desperately been trying 2 make ppl understand is that bisexuals r real, actual ppl. u cannot build ur idea of what bisexuality is like off ur imagination based on like, what privilege boxes u think we do or dont tick n just decide that this imaginary bisexual life uve created on ur own is the reality.
this is why yall r obsessed w bisexuals having “straight passing privilege” n shit like that, why u wont acknowledge biphobia is a real problem n not discourse, why u constantly act like bisexuals oppress u n ur punching up somehow by shitting on us… bc yall have NEVER ever looked @ bisexuals as real n wondered what our community ACTUALLY is like.
over n over again ppl paint bisexuals as primarily cis, white, middle class oppressors, even though the numbers show that bisexuals r more likely 2 b trans, more likely 2 b ppl of color n more likely 2 live in poverty. despite this, bi-specific spaces n resources r gravely lacking, n bisexual needs receive a fragment of the funding that the lesbian, gay, n transgender communities receive. in lgbt organisations, 7% of board members identify as bisexual, as opposed to 59% being gay or lesbian. this is despite bisexuals being the largest part of the lgbt community.
throughout all this bisexuals constantly talk abt feeling unwelcome in lgbt spaces, feeling we have 2 hide part of our identity, that we cant b out as bi in lgbt spaces, that were only welcome so long as we dont contribute n dont disagree..
bisexuals r constantly walking on thin ice in our own community bc of the biphobic image others in the lgbt community have built of us, an image that is provably contrary 2 reality. this needs 2 b a big deal. this cannot b discourse or “opinions”. this is real life n yall NEED 2 shake up.
ik only bisexuals r going 2 rb this post, bc its always only bisexuals talking abt biphobia. but i wish the ppl who r going 2 see this post frm a bi person they follow n not reblog it would @ least think abt it.
