#bisexualerasure

I love being attracted to people regardless of gender. I love having a fluctuating preference, or no preference at all. I love all genders. I love being bisexual.

I just wanna say to all the people that made fun of me throughout my school years and that wouldn’t understand why I didn’t want to date anyone or tease me that I’m gay and but I actually wanted to date boys but also was confused because I always had (unknown) crushes on some girl friends but my first relationship was with a boy but my first sexual experience was with a girl and maybe I AM gay?? But no I’m straight??

Anyways, fuck you guys, turns out I’m bisexual.

just a thought

bisexual erasure isn’t just “you’re just gay/straight” or “you probably cheat on your partner”. Cis people say this kind of shit all the time but almost completely disregard any thinly-veiled biphobia, to the point where they are pretty much the only perpetrators. I say perpetrators because the kind of things cis people say about bisexuals spread to other members of the lgbtq community so that they’re not the only ones with those kinds of shitty beliefs. It’s so incredibly common for non-bisexuals to spread misinformation and just general bullshit that it’s unbelievable (except we all know it isn’t) Saying things like “bisexuality enforces a binary”, “bisexuals don’t like trans people” and “bisexuality is less inclusive” is JUST as bad as the “you’re a cheater/in denial” kind of shit. it’s so damn hard for bisexuals to have a voice anymore and to me, it just feels like mostly everyone else just... talks over us. as bisexuals, we know that we are so much more than what cis people regard us as and our history is rich and cannot be ignored. anyway have a nice day :-)

yo can someone pls tell me why people think it's acceptable to ignore bi history? to redefine it and to disregard it completely? you preach "remember stonewall" and "remember your history" but when it comes to bisexuals yall are silent. it's suddenly fine to act like bisexuality is exclusive or transphobic or whatever. your personal feelings on this really doesnt matter, im sorry. history is more important. i hate that i even have to remind people that.

David Bowie and Freddie Mercury had both said repeatedly that they were Bisexual! And everyone kept and still do, trying to erase their bisexuality. It's so irritating!! Not to put myself in the same plane of existence as these two rock legends but we're BISEXUAL NOT GAY!! STOP TRYING TO ERASE US!! #lgbtqa #bisexual #bisexuality #bisexualerasure #bipride David Bowie - Interview - Afternoon Plus - 1979 (at North Highlands, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtR0VTeh_mQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p7ilv633l3lr

I gave this TEDx Talk on bisexual invisibility, erasure, and the importance of identity at TEDxOshkosh in November 2018. The video was released last week and has since been featured twice on the TEDx Facebook page.

Mine is chiefly a fandom blog filled with reposts of other people’s context, sometimes with my comment but often not. I don’t generally include or address my personal life in this forum.

However, I know that so many folks I follow or interact with are members or allies of the LGBTQ+ community, and you know this particular struggle. Please know you’re seen, heard, and loved as whole, valid individuals.

I'm black bisexual married woman (open marriage, but still)... and its lonely. I hate everything about bisexual erasure. Like, who can I talk to? What 'safe spaces' am I allowed to occupy without fear of being ignored or shot down?

Its just one of those nights where I'm questioning everything about myself. Self-examination gone wrong, if you will. I'm just answering questions with more questions, and its incredibly frustrating, like bitch, how you still got THAT many damn questions about yourself and you over 30? Or maybe I've just deluded myself into thinking that people my age have it all together and I'm the only one failing at life.

Neither answer brings me any kind of peace.

Ugh. Hellllppp.
