normalized biphobia: a thread because i am so tired

tw // biphobia and ill tag anything else if it comes up :)

non bisexuals pls rt
tw // nsfw

“so that means you like threesomes right?”

i and so many other bi ppl have gotten this and its so awful to hear, especially when you’re young and you’ve just come out and someone says this. this is sexualizing bi people, and reinforcing the rhetoric that bi people,+
+ especially bi women and bi people perceived as women love sex. this is so not true, please never say this !
“it’s a phase you’ll grow out of it”

this one HURTS, especially because it isn’t seen as serious. someone i trusted deeply told me this as soon as i came out to her, and it started almost a year of iinternalized biphobia and questioning. bisexuality is not a phase that someone +
+ will grow out of, and i cannot believe i still have to say that. it’s such bullshit and so invalidating and heartbreaking to hear.
“bi women are just spicy straight” and “bi guys are just gay and afraid to come out”

oh my fucking god, i can’t believe i still hear this on the tl !!!! bi women are not “spicy straight”, and “spicy straight” isn’t a real thing. bi women are bisexual, no matter their lean. bi +
+ men are bi, not just afraid to come out as gay. i honestly don’t know what else to say about this just do not ever fucking say this
the idea that bi people can be in het relationships

okay so this is incredibly stupid, mostly for the fact that, by definition, queer people cannot be in a het relationship bc they’re guess what queer !! great examples of this are with p!nk and halsey. bc halsey is having +
+ kids w a man, people are so desperate to say “oh ig she’s not bi anymore” and since p!nk is married to a man people love to say the same thing. let me clarify: relationship status DOES NOT EQUAL sexuality. you can never same someone of the opposing gender and still be bi. you +
+ can have only dated people of the same gender, and still be bi. please stop fucking calling bi people in opposite gender relationships straight. they are not.
“bi is straight diet” and/or “bi is half and half”

screams this is so fucking untrue. i am bi with an about 70/30 lean towards women. bisexuality is not half gay and half straight. bi people are 100 percent bisexual.
just. the general hate against bi people and denial that bi people also experience oppression all over the internet, and the way it’s passed off as discourse. it’s not, and some of y’all need to realize that. i’ll plug a couple of ss here but if you really love seeing what +
+ biphobes on the internet are saying about your sexuality i would recommend @/ biphobetwt, they also have some great statistics under their pinned
“bi means two you can only be attracted to two genders”

not only is this biphobic, it’s transphobic too oh lord basically bisexual is a reclaimed medical term, and is not an accurate definition of what bisexuality is. it’s also so fucking invalidating to every n-b person in +
+ the bi community and im so sick and fucking tired of hearing this. do not ell bisexuals what bisexuality means.
if you're bi and you have any more feel free to comment ! hate will be deleted and pls don't go attack the people in the ss my phone's acting up so i can't cover their users but pls dont tag them or send hate !!

please no priv qrts
screenshots are via @/ biphobetwt go check them out :)
from a friend who id’d as bi until recently : “oh yeah personal experience my lesbian gf (from sept) told me i was just a closeted lesbian”
