Biphobic - Tumblr Posts
This happens so much even with people I know, they say that because they are dating someone of same sex or opposite means that they are specifically gay or straight. They forget everything else or any other possibilities. I try to softly explain to them why they are wrong and they make me try to seem like a fool for knowing the truth. Spread the good word people and help educate those who are ignorant of these things.
Calling a canon bisexual woman a lesbian becuase she has a female love interest or is in a wlw relationship is bisexual erasure and biphobic!!!!
I feel like there's quite a story behind the tags in the "IF YOU ARE BISEXUAL AND..." one...
This is why I don’t tell 99% people im bisexual
i think a lot about how lesbians aren’t allowed to have complicated feelings about anything and nobody listens to us. specially when it’s about the wlw community.
i think a lot bc i have a best friend, let’s call her G, she’s bi, and i’m a ( recently out ) lesbian. she’s a committed long term relationship with a man. i’m in a committed long term relationship with my butch. a lesbian relationship. she’s supportive of me, im supportive of her. we both have families that wouldn’t to some extent support our queerness.
she gets to bring her boyfriend around, call him her boyfriend, get treated like a couple, have the classic arrangement, have him for family dinners and easter lunch and christmas.
i don’t. i get to bring my girlfriend around as a friend ( even when my mom grows suspicious ), she comes in friendly hours and never gets to stay around like a boyfriend would, i don’t get to introduce them and make a scene. sometimes i drop their hand.
we both are on the first serious relationship of our lives and we are both calling it the long haul. and she gets to play house and make her family proud, and i don’t. it doesn’t make her less queer than me and i love G. but sometimes i wonder if it makes sense to have us be part of the same community under the word sapphic.
one day we went out for dinner and talked about our relationship ( hers, 1 year, mine, 1 month ). i realized she was following a path i could never, she was choosing a brilliant career, a glowing relationship accept by everyone, and a perfect life that she wanted and it made her happy and i was so happy for her. but i resented her.
i resented her because she was leaving me behind ( a freak ). because she had no the option because that’s not how sexuality works but the chance to be normal. and i know this is not very productive and it doesn’t help the community, but i think it’s time we acknowledge the messy feelings.
i did, i asked her if she would stop being my friend if our lives got too different. she said no. we are friends to this day, we’ve been friends longer than both of us were even interested in dating or knew we were both queer.
she won’t always get what’s like being a lesbian, it’s okay. she doesn’t have to, i won’t always get what’s like to be bi either. i don’t have to. we stay friends because we love each other and we love to watch each other grow.
Biphobia is real and will not be tolerated on my blog!!!!
Bisexuality is valid and I love you all the way you are!
Stop bullying bisexual people!!!!!!!!
