“Bisexuals have always included trans people, non binary people, and polyamorous people!” Talk for yourself babe…that not me…

GNC women are so attractive until they have a gender identity. Then, instead of seeing a confident woman who’s comfortable being who she is, I see an insecure woman playing pretend. I see a performance instead of authenticity. And if that’s what they’re going for, power to them. But I think most of them genuinely think they’re giving “gender” and “sexy masc twink man”…when really they’re giving “I want you to think I’m cool so badly so I put on a costume and am going to pose like I think men do”.

Crusty lesbian/bi woman with a part time job is still better than a guy with a house and a salary. Mark my words. Also not taking any negative feedback. Affirmations welcome

it might come as a surprise, but bisexual girls need just as much reassurance that it’s perfectly fine, normal, beautiful, spiritual, and healthy to date other women and this weird trend of “celebrate bisexual women who prefer and exclusively date men” is not only annoying and creating a “systematic oppression” that doesn’t factually exist, it is telling bisexual women that their sexualities still must revolve around men.

Recently I’ve been thinking about different components of sexual orientation, and how it is effectively formed of both internal identity and external behaviour. It’s interesting that, without a detailed conversation with other individuals, we can only assume their orientation and identity on the basis of their external behaviour, which is all that is visible to us.

For example, if someone is in a long term, committed, monogamous relationship with a member of the opposite sex, they are assumed to be straight, and their behaviour is interpreted as representative of heterosexuality. But they might be bisexual. If someone is in a long term, committed, monogamous relationship with a member of the same sex, they are assumed to be gay/lesbian, and their behaviour is interpreted as representative of homosexuality. But they might be bisexual.

In this context, what external behaviour could someone exhibit that would lead to the assumption they were bisexual, and therefore that their behaviour is representative of bisexuality? They’d have to be engaging with the same sex and the opposite sex more or less simultaneously in order not to be assumed to be straight or gay/lesbian. How might that work?

They could be having regular sex with multiple people of both sexes (bisexuals are promiscuous, bisexuals are easy, bisexuals are sluts). They could be having multiple concurrent and short term relationships with people of both sexes (bisexuals can’t commit, bisexuals will leave you for a member of the other sex). They could be having sex with people of both sexes at the same time (bisexuals are kinky, bisexuals have group sex, bisexuals want to have threesomes all the time). They could have a committed relationship with a member of one sex, and affairs with members of the other sex (bisexuals CHEAT). They could be non-monogamous and having various relationships with members of both sexes (bisexuals can’t be satisfied with just one person).

So. In order for other people to recognise you as a bisexual person, you have to be engaging in some form of stigmatised and nonconforming sexual activity, all of which just happen to be typical stereotypes about bisexuality. The only way to be perceived as a bisexual person is to conform with bisexual stereotypes. A bisexual person who doesn’t conform to a single bisexual stereotype cannot be perceived as a bisexual person, and therefore cannot disprove or undermine those stereotypes in the mind of the person perceiving them. Because if they don’t conform to a single bisexual stereotype, they are perceived as heterosexual/homosexual, and their nice, conforming, virtuous behaviour is ascribed to that perceived monosexual identity. Even if they had previously exhibited bisexual behaviour (bisexuality is just a phase, they’ll eventually pick a side).

Alternatively, they could verbally assert their identity regularly enough to offset the assumptions others make on the basis of their behaviour (bisexuals are self-obsessed).

There is no way of being consistently perceived as a bisexual person, in the current landscape, without reinforcing bisexual stereotypes in the minds of those perceiving you, because if you don’t align with and reinforce those stereotypes you are unperceivable as a bisexual person.

Bi girls like girls because they like girls, not because men think it’s hot. Bi girls are not fetishes or threesome material. Bi girls are not tainted by any gender. Bi girls are not sluts, nor unloving, nor unfaithful. Just people.

Idk bring back over the top goddess worship female superiority feminism. Women are divine and men are worthless. Goodnight

I need to get this off my chest. If biphobia is not real and its simply just Bisexuals experiencing homophobia explain why that despite the vast majority of bisexual people despite being in heterosexual relationships or in the closet:

Have a 58.8% lifetime rate for mood disorders and a 57.9% rate for anxiety disorders in comparison to 44.4% (mood disorder  and 40.8% (anxiety) for Lesbian women (American Psychiatric Association)

Have a higher risk of suicide than Gay and Lesbian people with a rate of 34.8% for Bisexual men and 45.4% for Bisexual women  (American Psychiatric Association)

Higher rates of poverty than Gay, Lesbian and Straight people (30% for Bisexual women and 20% for Bi men)

Are more likely to be heavy drug and alcohol consumers than Gay, Lesbian and Straight people with 16% of Bi women and 19.5 of Bi men being Alcohol dependent (American Psychiatric Association)

Only 1 in 10 Bisexual youth feel that they fit in their community 

More than ¼ of Bisexual women who experience a traumatic experience develop/show symptoms of PTSD in comparison to 18% of Lesbians and 13% of Heterosexual women

48% Bisexual youth consider suicide, with 40% actually making plans to die and 27% actually attempting suicide in comparison to 37% of Gay/Lesbian people who consider suicide and 19% who attempt suicide 

40% of Bisexual people have considered suicide in comparison to over ¼ of GL people

This is just the tip, other issues include higher rates of poverty, abuse and poorer physical health

Ill tell you why, Its because this “Biphobia is not real” bullshit perpetuated by non Bisexuals has nothing to do with actual facts and nearly has 100% to do with the fact that Bisexual women are seen as attention seeking liars.

Do you know of any other febfem blogs that aren't radical feminist blogs?

No This is also not a febfem blog that is not radical feminist. I have a different blog for the rest of my Feminist stuff but I align with radical feminism in most of my beliefs so if that's a problem, you may want to start your own blog.
