Data from a recent report, which shows which types of relationships bisexual people are in. So you all can stop with your biphobic ‘bisexuals are always in M/F relationships’ nonsense.

(Note: binary trans people are included in the first graphic. The last two graphics are just created to be exclusively about them.)

Disaggregated data, which can look deeply into the lived experiences of marginalised people, is a key demand of LGBTI and other human rights

it's very strange to me that people can be given evidence of futch being used as an identifier by at least the 1990's, that they can see people say again and again that they feel an alignment that isn't just "neither", or isn't something they'd feel totally correct in describing as soley "androgyny", and that feeling has been resonate amongst various members of the community for decades at the very least, and yet they still refuse to admit that what the infamous fucking scale did to "high femme" & "stone butch", it also did to the term "futch" itself. especially when the conversation gets turned to social &/or romantisexual roles.

like, be for fucking real, are you honestly telling me you think that a person can't express alignment to both masculine & feminine social roles in a way that directly intertwines with their lgbt+ identity & with how that impacts their experience of attraction? you really truly think that the only option is utter neutrality? is your thinking that simplistic & binary?

like, wow. congrats on being both so ahistorical, & so fucking boring.

I kneel at my place of worship, the bathroom sink, as you preach your love to me, the buzzing vibrations of my clippers caressing my head like your gentle hands.

The offerings fall in dark brown clumps, so thick they choke the clippers at times, but it never waves.

I guide your hands as you sculpt me, reshaping this ductile form of mine into something new. I yield to your tenderness.

I am reborn again and again under your hands, my body made livable by your love and care.

It really makes my heart full seeing my community become more vocal. When I first realized I was bi, I was immediately met with the notion that the B in LGBT was less important than the L and G. And of course, it made sense, we were basically half straight anyway right?

Now I’m older, and purposely obnoxiously bisexual - and angry. A lot of bisexual people are now.

But we still need to be careful that in the process of questioning the casual biphobia in the LGBT community, we don’t ostracize or attack the L and G. You can be angry, you can be hurt, you can stand up for yourself, and you can point out the flagrant biphobia that’s there, but the moment you step into “monosexual privilege” territory and your love of being bisexual simply becomes hate for gay men and lesbians - game over.

I don’t want to interact with you or know you, and don’t you dare call yourself a “bisexual activist”. The reason we’re fighting so hard for our history and sexuality to be recognized, accepted, and respected, is because while I not only love my bisexuality and my community, I want to be able to share that. We will never be divorced from the L and G communities, so we have to strive to make our bridges stronger.

We’re not at war. You don’t fight biphobia and misinformation with lesbophobia and homophobia.
