bi + flag colors
Bi: Attraction to two or more genders; Attraction to same and different genders
Note: this is not simultaneously bisexual and het (bisexuals AREN'T het :), this term and flag is just reclaiming the insult βbihetβ hurled at bi women and bi sapphic who are not βqueer enoughβ. Flag made by @femmebis!
I was recently made aware of the Trillium Grandiflorum! A gorgeous species of flowering plant native to the eastern half of the USA and Canada. It is a beautiful flower with a three pronged petal shape framed by three leaf like bracts (a modified or specialized leaf, especially one associated with a reproductive structure such as a flower, inflorescence axis, or cone scale) and it blooms from late spring to early summer in the mountain ranges and hills of the Appalachian upland forest.
In 1998 - 99, The creator of the bisexual pride flag, Michael Page suggested these flowers as a symbol for bisexuality, as the flower was reminiscent of the bi-angles (a set of three triangles in the bisexual colors) and it was a perfect example of sexual dimorphism (meaning it contains both male and female structure, which in older scientific literature was often referred to as being botanically bisexual).
It is also written about: βWhite trillium often occurs in dense drifts of many individuals.β which calls to the vast unity of the bisexual community.
Many thanks to @lxdybi for introducing me to this flower and to its significance to the bisexual community.
At this link there is a collection of other bisexual symbols and motifs that have been used through the history of our community so if youβd like to learn more take a look! Im excited to use some of the symbols in my future bisexual art and design projects, and i hope some of you will join in with me too! itβs quite nice to find a bit more of bisexual culture <3
Controversal opinion, I don't think it's really ever appropriate for people to theorize about groups they're not apart of.
That's how you get things like "non binary people aren't oppressed" and "trans men are exactly like cis men in every way and therefore have male privilege" and "asexuals aren't LGBT" and "bisexuals have straight privilege" like maybe like, include the group you're theorizing about to talk about their experiences because it always ends up exclusionary otherwise.
