TL;DR: bisexuals and those underneath the bisexual umbrella deserve more respect than we get considering all the bullshit we have to put up with.
As a bisexual woman I cannot begin to explain all the shit I have heard when I tell people. It’s the fact these are the same people to immediately turn around and begin fetishizing bisexuality, they’ll call a bisexual man all kinds of names and call them disgusting then turn around and ask a bisexual woman for a threesome, it’s disgusting.
The primary reason I don’t use dating apps anymore is because of the amount of straight couples begging me for a threesome and the lesbians telling me that I’m just looking for attention and I should be ashamed of myself. And if the fetishizing wasn’t enough you of course have all the people shaming us and telling us we’re just confused.
For a long time the term “bisexual” or “bisexuality” wouldn’t come up in certain searches when “gay” or “lesbian” and “transgender” would auto fill, and don’t even get me started on all the other bullshit people who identify as the sexualities underneath the bisexual flag have to deal with. (Pansexual, bi-curious, omnisexual, polysexual, etc. I love you and I’m here for you)
This isn’t me trying to say that “bisexuals have it worse!” Or some shit like that, we all have different struggles for different reasons, and those reasons need to be respected along with our struggles and it pisses me off that they aren’t. And do not get me started on what disabled and POC bisexuals have to deal with.
There is no way to win as a bisexual until we tear down the stigma surrounding it, there is nothing unnatural or gross or anything wrong with liking more than one gender and it’s disappointing that posts like these even have to be made.
Honey, get my hunting rifle.
if you think that bisexual women are “actually straight and looking for male attention” and bisexual men are “actually gay and in denial”, I will be hunting you for sport
