#bi sapphics

[bi-sapphics]

so, assuming we all know about how biphobes like to say bi women who date other women try to make them more like men since what they really want is a boyfriend, as well as how transphobes like to infantilize trans men in order to argue against their existence, i'm reluctantly here to tell you that TERFs have taken a new step with integrating these sentiments on twitter today:

link for context

that's right, you read correctly! the ones who are now pressuring our young girls (usually GNC lesbians) into mutilating their bodies are none other than... bi women! because that totally makes sense!

anyway, bi women & trans men need to stick together more than ever. 🤝 the rest of the queer community hates us both endlessly and we have a lot of overlap in that our issues aren't taken seriously enough. as a transmasc bisexual myself, this is the only true way.

Proposing “violet bisexual” as an alternative to “febfem”.

Febfem is a radfem term with transphobic meaning. I wanted to still be able to have a label for myself to show that I’m a bisexual sapphic that does not date men. I chose “violet bisexual” because violets are used to symbolize sapphic love. Since “violet bisexuals” would focus on sapphic love, sapphic relationships (romantic and/or sexual), etc. I felt it would perfect. Being a violet bisexual is about sapphism, focus on women/non-men, exclusion of men, and empowerment while still accepting and loving our bisexuality.

Some notes:

bi men/bi achilleans would not be allowed to use this term. “violet bisexual” would be/is a term that stemmed from myself and other bi sapphics not wanting to date men because of male trauma, misogyny, and the patriarchy.

bi lesbians this term is not for you!!!

this term is also not for radfems or terfs!! you have “febfem”.

asexual and aromantic bisexuals and biromantic can use this term! it isn’t just about sapphic love. for instance, if you don’t do romantic relationships but still would like to have a sexual life that excludes men you can use this term.

any bi sapphic who doesn’t date men due to ANY reason can use this term. this includes, but is not limited to: not dating men due to

-trauma

-experiences

-wanting to decenter men in your life

-having a preference for women

-just not wanting to date men

If any bi sapphic would like to give their opinion on this proposition please do!

stop worrying about whether or not queer identities "make sense". gender itself doesn't make sense. "woman" and "man" are arbitrary constellations of traits and features that don't reflect how people who fall into those genders actually think, feel and behave. the definitions we have for manhood and womanhood don't make sense, either. according to cisheteronormative society, feminine men and masculine women don't "make sense" either. the biological sex binary makes ABSOLUTELY no sense, with intersex people proving that it quite literally doesn't exist.

why do queer identities have to "make sense" in order for you to see them as valid? they shouldn't have to. let go and accept that identity is not a scientific theory. it doesn't have to "make sense". none of this does. stop running others' identities through such scrutiny and realize your identity doesn't "make sense", either. embrace it. it's a good thing.

I learned a lot today from Obviously Queer’s video essay “FEMME: Lesbian History, Identity, Politics and Invisibility” and femmebis’ “The “Lesbian-Only Term” Myth: A Comprehensive Historical Essay on ‘Butch’ and ‘Femme’ ”.

we have reached a new level of hatred for bi women even i thought unimaginable. you're criticizing fascist cops? yeah well, you like bi women and that's obviously more harmful. gotcha!

like, i haven't even watched TLOK so maybe there's something i'm missing about a certain aspect of their relationship (i honestly don't know, maybe @bisexual-coala could confirm), but instead of choosing to point out something that might be legitimately problematic, your discomfort is with bisexuality...

and as one of my twitter mutuals pointed out, this is one of the few times i've seen korassami not get erased as lesbians ─ because now it's apparently bad to like them instead of the actual les4les couple*!

don't ever tell us prejudice towards bisexuals always has a reasonable, founded basis again. 🖕

*this is not me sharing my opinion on caitvi or claiming you should(n't) like them. however, it's usually a good idea to be critical of certain elements in media.

bisexual sapphics are allowed to be assigned lesbianism, but never may they have autonomy to label themselves.

The thing is, radfems (and other biphobic lesbians) DON'T have a problem with bisexual women using "lesbian terms". Not really.

They see a woman talking about her attraction to women, and call her a lesbian with no further thought. They see a masc woman, and they call her a butch, or the d-slur (affectionately). They see a pair of women in a relationship, they call them a "lesbian couple". They see no issue with these things. If you have a problem with it, maybe you should figure out why you have such a big problem with the word "lesbian"!

It's good, when it's used for bisexual erasure. Thus, the only conclusion we can draw is that their real problem lies in bisexual women having the autonomy to call themselves these terms.
