bi pan discourse is so tiring and i absolutely hate getting into it but um the vast majority of micro identities like pan and omni and polysexual were created out of a misunderstanding of bisexuality in general and have created a unique brand of biphobia wherein people believe labeling yourself as bi is inherently transphobic when in fact it is not. bisexuality is by definition attraction to all genders. the cultural misunderstanding of this and subsequent labeling of bisexual people as inherently transphobic comes from the creation of micro identities that stem from ignorance about bisexuality and misinformation spread by those who invented such identities without doing proper research about bisexuality and the lgbt community in general. it hurts bisexual people! there’s no use pretending it doesn’t! have a nice day and if you disagree with this i don’t care

i think a big part of the (misinformed and blatantly incorrect) idea that butch bi women basically dont exist and its predominantly bi women identifying as femmes just comes down to the fact that people see gnc people and decide their sexuality for them.

its people deciding butch bi women are just lesbians, people deciding femme bi women are just straight. they do it to bi men too, too femme and youre actually gay, too masc and youre actually straight. bisexuals are erased from their own spaces and history no matter what we do, how we dress or who we love.

the amount of times people have told me they assumed i was a lesbian based on my (usually relatively boyish) presentation is insane, not because it offends me that people would think i was a lesbian, but theyre always almost affronted by the idea that a bi woman would look like me, that i would ever like a man, that men could ever like me in a way that isnt in some kind of fetishistic context. the amount of times ive gotten a "mhm. i dunno i dont see it" or straight up been accused of lying or being closeted just because i said i was bisexual, not straight, not denying my sga in any way but simply asserting that i do indeed still like men, is INSANE.

all because i act more masculine than the average caricature of gender non conforming cishet women (which is a whole other discussion) and take up space, because i dress and carry myself a specific way. its fucking absurd. like theres nothing wrong with assuming im into women - i am, but because of my masculinity im stripped of my own sexuality not just by oppressors (cishets) but even my own community.

its kind of fucking miserable that butch bi women are constantly denied either their sexuality, or their butchness. femme wlw are more likely to dodge a more specific assumption (very obviously not straight but still feminine? could be a lesbian, could be bi, who's to say?) but ive found butch bi women are constantly pushed out of the conversation, people are accepting that bi femmes DO exist but virtually everything ive seen regarding butch wlw has been so exclusive of bisexual women, and we DO see it, and we ARE hurt by it.

its just another form of bimisogyny and one that goes especially unchecked, even now, and i cannot fucking stand it.

i really do think that bi women need to stop trying to explain themselves to biphobic misogynists, they're going to find a problem with you no matter what you do. girls, you don't owe them shit

you don't owe them an explanation for why you're attracted to multiple genders. you don't owe them an explanation for why you're dating anyone of any gender. you don't owe them an explanation for why you rejected someone of a gender you experience attraction to. you don't owe them an explanation for why you've never actually dated anyone of a gender you experience attraction to. you don't owe them an explanation for why you might call yourself a butch or femme. you don't have to wish you weren't attracted to [insert gender] just to please biphobes. you don't have to "pick a side" just to please biphobes.

and most importantly, you are allowed to tell biphobic misogynists to fuck off. you are allowed to be mean to them. you are allowed to say that you won't change for them.

“butch is a lesbian only term” and what are you going to do about it. whine on twitter. snivel that those evil bisexuals are stealing your pure and man-free (lol) historical labels and aesthetics. tell your lesbian only discord to run a blockchain. grow up.
