I’m a bi woman and I also participate in the bi woman hate because so many of them claim a level of oppression in order to “fit in” to the queer community and it’s super lame. I also know too many bi women who remain incredibly male centered in dating. If this doesn’t describe you, you probably aren’t offended!
Yeah the biphobia sucks and I hate it exists but I see why people have this mindset. Some people suck and ruin an image for everyone. I don’t think I’m “exempt” from biphobia and don’t think I’m “one of the good ones” I just don’t hang out with a lot of other bi women cause they are often chronically online or act like I’m a fetish because they aren’t actually bi. I’ve run into a lot of bi women who try and flirt with me only to then try and get me to go home with her and her man for a threesome
You're not justified in spewing any type of -phobia or -ism just because your experience is different than that of someone else. That's literally what the phobias and isms are based on. It's not valid to be biphobic just because you don't have the same experience, that feels like basic common sense.
So 2 things. 1.) this post doesn't say anything about dating bi people. 2.) it is biphobic to say all bi women haven't decentered men, and if you don't believe that all bi women haven't decentered men, then that's not the reason you don't date them, you just don't date them because they're bi
I am Black. Yes race and sexuality are different. However the concept of discrimination against bisexuals being called biphobia is the same as the concept of discrimination against Black people being called racism. You're being discriminatory and stereotyping on the basis of a persons sexuality being bisexual. That is biphobia. The same relay being discriminatory and stereotyping on the basis of a persons race being Black is anti-Black racism. It's not a hard concept
omfg by burned i mean that they have been with women that weren’t actually attracted to women before, didn’t realize i had to spell that out. and again ill say that ive never met a real person who has a problem w bi ppl in any sense, just weird mfs on yikyak who r probs just rage baiting anyway.
I have met people who have a problem in real life lol hence the post. And you see the issue though that because you dated one or 2 people who turned out to maybe not be bi that you cast out all bisexuals is an interesting choice when if you dated 1 or 2 lesbians who dogged you out you probably wouldn't just cast out all lesbians lol like are you seeing my point? And then it's like were they even lying about being bu or did they just date a guy after so they assumed they lied about being bi?
yeah, again, you’re still saying this is a lesbian specific trait, i didn’t say you were generalizing all lesbians. by saying “lesbians who are anti bi women” you are implying that this trait is common in specifically lesbians. which is harmful both bc lesbians don’t need any extra shit being spewed about them and bc it’s not holding the ppl that feel this way that aren’t lesbians accountable
Me talking about straight people being biphobic doesn't really matter in a community where we're all gay and I've literally never encountered a gay man who had this much commentary on bi women. On bi men, yes. And they are also losers. But I'm talking about lesbians and bi women lol I don't need to bring up every issue in the world to talk about the issue I want to talk about
You're not clear what sexuality has to do with biphobia? I'm confused. And wdym don't bring gender dynamics into it lol the post is literally gendered! As you have noted! I'm a bi woman talking about my experience as a bi woman. I'm not a man so I don't need to talk about the experience of gay/bi/queer men when talking about my experience. I thought you didn't like when bi people centered men? Now it's a problem that I'm not thinking of men when speaking on my own experience?
GIRL OMFG. you said earlier that this is not a conversation about dating. you later said that biphobia is present in other people too. why exactly did you make this post about lesbians if this is a non-romantic issue that you’ve seen in other sexualities as well? like what does the dynamic of lesbian-bi women have to do with anything if this isn’t a convo about dating??
I made the post about WOMEN. Lesbians and bi women are mentioned in the post. The post is about WOMEN because I am a WOMAN talking about my experience in spaces with other QUEER WOMEN. It's really irritating that you can't imagine a scenario in which who you choose to date doesn't matter to me lol it's not about that, it's about lesbians who hate bi women for some reason being assholes who continually invalidate bisexual women's identity
yeah okay bro i’m done, i know exactly what the fuck you’re saying it’s just weird as hell that you’re upset about biphobia but for some reason made this post about lesbians. like i know who you date doesn’t matter that’s the whole point of what i’m saying, why did you make this post about lesbians when your problem is with biphobia towards bi women as a whole.
Like I'm genuinely confused on what you're confused on, do you think gay and bi men are just sitting around having debates on how bi women lie and aren't actually queer? Like I didn't say people in general because I'm talking about queer spaces and the people perpetuating biphobia against bi women in those spaces lol it's not my fault that it's a problem between girls
notice how this comment says nothing about lesbians. like you keep flip flopping about whether or not this has to do with dating, if this doesn’t have anything to do with dating then yeah i do think gay men can be biphobic towards bi women and they probably do talk shit abt who they think is a “real gay”. if this is specifically about dating and lesbians not believing any women are bi then you should say that you’re talking about relationship dynamics instead of denying it repeatedly
