Bisexual PSA

Bisexuality is real.

Bisexual people are attracted to people of more than one gender. This can mean being attracted to men and women, or to people of any gender identity. Bisexuality is a valid and legitimate sexual orientation.

Bisexuality is not a phase.

Some people may think that bisexuality is just a phase that people go through before they figure out their true sexual orientation. However, this is not the case. Bisexuality is a lifelong orientation for many people.

Bisexuality is not a choice.

People do not choose to be bisexual. They are born bisexual. Just like people do not choose to be gay or straight, they do not choose to be bisexual.

Bisexuality is not a threat to society.

Some people may think that bisexuality is a threat to society because it challenges traditional notions of gender and sexuality. However, bisexuality is not a threat to anyone. In fact, bisexual people are just as diverse as any other population group. They come from all walks of life and have all different beliefs and values.

Bisexuality is beautiful.

Bisexuality is a beautiful and complex sexual orientation. It is a gift to be able to love people of all genders. Bisexuality is a part of who we are, and we should be proud of it.

If you are bisexual, know that you are not alone. There are many other people out there who are bisexual, and there are many resources available to you. You are valid and you are loved.

Here are some resources for bisexual people:

The Trevor Project: https://www.thetrevorproject.org

BiNet USA: https://www.biresource.org

Bisexual Resource Center: https://www.biresource.org

Bi.org: https://bi.org

If you are struggling with your bisexuality, please reach out for help. There are people who care about you and want to help you through this. You are not alone.

Are LGBTQ labels confusing? Do you ever see a collection of words and think "aren't some of those antithetical or mutually exclusive?" Congratulations! You've run into a very interesting phenomenon that I'm about to break down to the best of my ability.

There's two major philosophies when it comes to labels, they don't have names to my knowledge so I'm gonna call them Reflective and Telegraph.

The Telegraph Label philosophy states that labels primarily function as a means of conveying useful information about one's self to others. It's telling others what pronouns, what parts and what genders that person has or is attracted to. This is usually pretty straightforward, the stuff someone interested in dating you would check before asking you out to avoid embarrassment.

The Reflective Label philosophy states that labels are primarily a tool for describing an internal experience. Putting words to feelings for the benefit of the self. This is how we get lables like stargender or autismgender. These aren't meaningfully useful labels that tell others what to expect physically or what pronouns to use. But that doesn’t mean they're useless. In the case of someone using autismgender, that label probably describes the internal experience of the ways a person's autism impacts their views on and performance of gender. Stargender likely explains not that they literally see themselves as a star but rather that their internal experience of their prefered gender performance makes them feel a way that reminds them of stars or stargazing.

And this applies to sexuality too. Boy lesbian might seem antithetical but ultimately that label isn't there to tell others anything. It's merely a comfort to have words to describe a mess of feelings and social dynamics.

And for clarification, anyone calling themselves a boy-lesbian probably isn't the cis male boogieman forcing lesbians who aren't interested in cis men to date them or else be labeled a bigot. That boogieman doesn't exist. A more likely explanation is that a nonbinary or trans person has a complex relationship with their changing gender that doesn't trigger a change in the way they see themselves in relationships and attraction thus causing them to keep or adopt the lesbian label despite the gender weirdness going on.

I see a lot of infighting about what people call themselves and whether or not certain combinations can even physically exist. And Y'know what? I don't think that's terribly productive. Neither philosophy is wrong. People are just using labels to address different root problems.

As aggravating as it might be for Telegraphers, you don't have to understand everything. Not everyone feels that they owe you the list of information you find useful, and their labels reflect that. And that's okay.

It's okay if you experimented with gender and realized you were cis.

It's okay if you experimented with your sexuality and realized you were straight.

It's okay if you experimented with gender expression and decided to lean more into your expected gender expression.

It's okay if you try things and find that you're most comfortable with what you had before. That's why it's called experimenting.

even tho I'm a cis lesbian, I hate seeing people say stuff like "I hate men" "KAM" and "cis guys are the worst" and yk, anything else about men being bad because;

1. The whole point of feminism is that nobody should be treated differently purely because of their gender

2. Saying all men suck is making an assumption based on an irrelevant category, and barely any different to ideologies like "all women want is your wallet"

3. By specifying cis guys you are separating trans and cis men, as if trans guys aren't literally men, which results in you being transphobic (regardless of whether or not that was your intent)

4. Men who see people online talking about hating men are probably going to be offended - and they have every right to be - which over time only results in them becoming more sexist (and the last thing we need are more tate-riders)

5. There are shitty people in every gender category - men, women, non binary or whatever else one identifies as, because gender holds no regard to moral value

There's probably a million other reasons but at the end of the day it's shitty to say that you don't care for men because let's be honest, we shouldn't be making assumptions based on gender because that's kind of why feminists have been getting pissed at men for like thousands of years...

hold up i'm seeing dnis now that say "mspec" like period, not even mspec lesbians/gays. and also bi/pan/omni/fluid listed. what the fuck is even going on??? what has the mogai community become where we're just writing people into boxes again? you can be a gender collector but you aren't allowed to have a layered experience of being queer? like make it make sense. mspec just means multiple-attraction, as in, bisexual, pansexual, omnisexual, abrosexual. like that makes up such a huge portion of the queer community. like how are you running a queerblog but are still unsupportive of bisexuality in 2023.

Aphobia may not be as apparent as homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia, but it is still an issue that needs to be fought against.

In reality, asexuals face a lot of the same negativity, hate, and ignorance that other LGBTQ+ people receive.

Homophobes blame WLW and MLM couples for the population.

Ex. "The population is going to decline because of the increase of gay marriages."

Aphobes try to pressure aces into having children.

Ex. "I'm still waiting for my Granbabies, Sarah," or "You just haven't met the right woman yet, Kevin. Once you meet the right girl you'll want to have a mini you running around"

Biphobes and Transphobes don't treat bi and trans people seriously.

Ex. "It's just a phase," or "Jayson is just doing it for attention."

Aphobes don't treat ace people seriously.

Ex. "It's just a phase," or "Lauren is just a late bloomer."

Homophobes treat homosexuality as a mental illness.

Biphobes treat bisexuality as a mental illness.

Transphobes treat being transgender as a mental illness.

Aphobes treat asexuality as a mental illness.

Biphobes and homophobes think they can turn gay and bi people straight.

Aphobes believe they can turn aces into allos.

There are difference, but there are also many similarities. It's important that we lift each other up and fight against inequality together.

I am chasing them out with a lot of pepper spray, Lestat de Lioncourt's wolfkiller sword, Benjamin Tallmadge’s Calvary sabre, and the blessing of Anne Rice's ghost.

Anyway… this is me, the person behind this blog.

Get off my page. You and your white supremacy and transphobia masquerading as valid socio-political theory is not welcome here.

remembering that will was canonically a cop at one point is genuinely so baffling because what the fuck do you mean the insane rabies guy was writing speeding tickets and doing drug busts? imagine getting pulled over by a man who looks one inconvenience away from a psychotic break. how did he even get hired

#somehow will as a teacher is so much more threatening than will as a cop. i think he’d look silly in the uniform #also psa i KNOW he was technically a homicide detective i am just being a little silly #anyways #do they even hire gay people as police officers #how did he manage to sneak under the radar like that #bisexuality? straight passing privilege? i don’t buy it buddy #hannibal #hannibal nbc #will graham

Hi, this is not how being bi works. Bi people don’t stop being bi just because they marry someone. Bis dont “pick a side”

If you think that this is how being bisexual works then please leave.

Seeing a frankly disturbing influx of T.ERFS on this site, so here’s a reminder that TERF and alt right fascists are one and the same, it’s always ethical to punch both. I am a they/them, genderqueer, bisexual (on the spectrum of ace, varying from day to day), I am brown, androgynous and the foppish, well read, bi Quaintrelle your parents warned you about. I’m not male or female, I am a threat, and the moral panic is about me. Lastly, to all T.ERFS, it’s on site if you come near me, have fun getting ideologically torn to shreds and blocked. Respect trans people or gtfo.

Also, Anne Rice championed bisexuality and transgender rights until she died. You do her a disservice coming near me.
