Biphobia - My Experience

[@QuieT729]

Oh my gosh I feel sorry for you. I may not be a bisexual, but my friend is and I wouldn’t want any bisexuals to feel left out. Bisexuality as valid as other sexualities. It’s stupid that people assume that it is either being gay and straight. It’s more than just that. Or that even bisexuality doesn’t exist. It’s just as stupid as saying gay people don’t exist. I myself am gay and I wouldn’t want anyone to consider me being a part of the community as non existent. It’s just stupid. The worst part is that biphobia also is in the LGBTQ Community. Some members don’t even consider it as a valid sexuality or just saying to people who identify as bisexual because they either date one gender, but never the other. Lots of love to you and remember that your valid.

I really appreciate you sharing your experiences, I’ve had very similar things happen to me and it’s scary, finding a safe community online is difficult for us rn but if you look hard enough you’ll find them and I recommend doing that, hearing other people bash you for your sexuality constantly is detrimental to your mental health, unfortunately even in the LGBTQ+ community there is still bigotry, I hope that you never feel like you have to hide your sexuality from the world, continue to speak out! It’s the only way the world can change.

Thank you for sharing your experience. You’re valid, seen heard and valued trust me! As a bisexual girl I feel your pain. I have a preference for women but I also like men, I’ve been with a man for coming up on four years and he’s also bi but I notice people ignore the fact that I’m bi, as I’m very open about it. They especially ignore that he’s bi as well which is incredibly frustrating. I feel like this specific pride month that just passed I’ve seen a lot of biphobia on the internet, and it’s disgusting. We’re supposed to be a community and i myself don’t feel welcome in the community either it’s disheartening :/ I do agree that it’s hard for bisexual women to find other women to date but I also think biphobia plays a big factor, i watched another video by a different channel discussing biphobia and they had showed a lot of biphobia coming from the lesbian community and a lot of women automatically dismissing women when they find out they are bisexual. It’s so sad and frustrating. I’ve only been with one girl but to be fair i haven’t had much relationship experience, it’s unfair to judge people based on that, that’s like if a straight person told a gay man well you don’t know you’re gay you’ve never been with a man it’s just wrong. I don’t understand how the lgbtq community can be like this when we’re the one community that has experienced this type of bs and now we are against each other why?? So I hear you loud and clear
