Bisexual Women Shouldn't Have To Downplay The Intensity Of Our Attraction To Men And Bisexual Women Shouldn't

bisexual women shouldn't have to downplay the intensity of our attraction to men and bisexual women shouldn't have to add a disclaimer about how we don't actually like, like men and bisexual women shouldn't have to assure anyone that we like women more, or that we like men but we only love women, or that we would never be with a man voluntarily, yadda yadda yadda.... like what started as a joke about preferring women either because of a shared experience or because of the euphoria of realizing we could be attracted to women has turned into a game to convince everyone that we're not like those bisexuals. and the thing is!! a couple years ago we recognized this as a real issue but now we seem to have agreed that it's nbd because men suck anyways or whatever.......... whatever.

reblog if ur bi, ur not biphobic, or ur best friend is a beautiful valid bisexual

Hello, Im bisexual girl. Recently I realized I have some internalized homophobia. I'm fully awared that I'm attracted to both men and women ans have no problems with that. However I've seen so many biphobia everywhere, especially in lgbt community (oddly enought, but Ive seen it there much more often than among straight people), like every time lesbians don't wanna date bi women, or when they assume all wlw as lesbians, or, even if we take the fandoms, when there is an implied bi or even a wlm character, they will call her lesbian, not bi. It always annoyed me so much, that recently I catched myself on thinking I would be much happier if one of the bi-implied characters (Ochako from mha) will end up with a boy and not a girl, so they stopped calling her lesbian

And then I realized that I thought about such things many times, that now I would rather see a bi girl to be considered straight, than homosexual

I don't wanna be homophobic, since It's my own community and I wanna be a part of this, even tho It's hard for me when they ignore bisexuality like this. Both opposites are bad and Im so tried of it. I always wanted people to treat everyone equally, especially in lgbt community, but know I find that Im closer to straight or even homophobic people, than to lgbt and I don't like it. I want to change my way of thinking about it, but I don't know how to change it.

Could you give me some advises or may be tell about your own experience, if you had something similar, or just anything? Because I feel so lonely because of this

I’m sorry, first of all. Second, they way I got over my internalization and the wishing I was straight was realizing that no one else controls who I am, and what my identity is but me.

If anyone else wants to share, please do!!
