#bi privilege

[allwomenjointhe4bmovement]

The most represented group and the most privileged group in the whole lgbt+ Community. The name really needs to be changed to LGTQ+

"there is no way to define "woman" without leaving out some cis women" so how do you define "cis woman" then? if you're so sure about who is and who isn't a cis woman, your definition of "cis woman" is my definition of "woman" :)

People on this webbed site have their brains explode when we try to talk about how trans men of any sexuality are oppressed, so I genuinely do not think your brains could handle it if I said the Scary Privileged Straight Men ™ are oppressed, but at some point we're gonna need to talk about how your "ewww straight man" jokes directed at trans men is genuinely just TERF rhetoric.

the yuri jokes arent funny anymore because none of you actually give a shit about dykes

I don't know if I hate myself or if I'm proud of myself for this one... 🤦‍♀️😂

I wish to talk about a moment! This dialogue:

Everybody I see talking about this moment only goes as far as saying, "Oh, Bi-Han is sexist >:O"

Which... he is. But more than that, he is:

Tradicional.

He is not saying this because he has a problem with women being warriors per se. He is saying this because, unlike Kuai, Bi-Han still thinks the old Lin Kuei traditions are right and should be followed.

So if the old Lin Kuei says Female Lin Kuei are not allowed, then by all means, Female Lin Kuei are not allowed!

And do you know who else thinks the old traditions are right and should be followed?

Frost.

She thinks the Lin Kuei should be led with iron fists.

She thinks the Lin Kuei should be merciless.

She thinks the Shirai Ryu and the Lin Kuei should remain enemies (and also thinks genocide is justified)

She thinks power should be pursued no matter the cost (even if the cost is your free will or the lives of your fellow clansmen)

But like a child who claims their country was better under a dictatorship, Frost is forgetting one little detail:

She has NO IDEA what that time was actually like!

I mean, she wasn't there! She has no idea what the old Lin Kuei was like!

And by all means, she never WOULD!

Cause as Bi-Han nicely reminds her: The old Lin Kuei, the one he follows and she sooo would rather have, DOESN’T ALLOW FEMALE LIN KUEI!

For as much as she complains about Kuai and how much he disregards tradition, she forgets his disregard is PRECISELY what made her Lin Kuei to begin with!

I mean, if she would rather have him be traditional, he could just have told her to fuck off his temple when she came to him, right?

After all. She wants the traditions to be followed.

He could have beaten her up for being mouthy and questioning his decisions. After all, the Lin Kuei must obey without question.

He could have sent her to face Hanzo (and be killed in the process). After all, the Shirai Ryu must be enemies (heck, he could've even allowed Hanzo to kill her on that one meeting. She started the fight, so she finishes it. Isn't that tradition?)

Also, it's funny that she praises the Cyber Initiative, when it means she gets some cyber enhancers and gets to command an army. But I wonder if she would have liked the ACTUAL Cyber Initiative, the one in which she would be just like the mindless robots she controls.

I wonder if someone like Frost, someone so strongminded, would ACTUALLY stand what the old Lin Kuei was like.

Be silenced? Forced to submission? Used as bait? Cannon fodder? As a Puppet??

Do you think she would stand be through what KUAI has??

I don't think so!

And I think people spend so much time being angry at Kuai for being angry at her that they forget just how much he did for her till he decided he had enough!

Can you imagine how many times Frost called him weak for his decisions?

Heck! He was accepting of her. He was kind and caring of her. He encouraged her to value her humanity and free will. He put an end to a war so she and his other students wouldn't have to fight and possibly DIE in it!

And all that for what? To hear that he's WEAK???

Can you imagine how much that must've sting?? How much that must've crushed his heart??

His heart is not frozen as he claims. It's BROKEN!

And all that because some stupid teenager can't be bothered to learn some history or by all means LISTEN to what the man who gave her everything has to say!

Boy I sure do love unfollowing people for ice-cold takes about transandrophobia. Anyway here’s your periodic reminder that the oppression olympics is a shitty game that benefits only the oppressors, and it takes nothing away from trans women if trans men are allowed to acknowledge the unique form of transphobia they face and create a word for it, but it sure takes something away from trans men if they AREN’T allowed the language to describe their experiences.

stripping bisexuals of our tireless contributions to activism and reducing us to regressive binarists, devoid of anything to do with the broader gay or transgender communities and indistinguishable from your average cis hetero is such a cruel, twisted agenda. we marched with you, we lived with you, we loved you, we were you then, and today we are the same but you silence us.

the prevalent 60s and 70s idea of the bisexual, the gender-defying hedonist dressed in androgyny while engaging in sex with partners of all sorts is unfathomable to some, but there were those of us then and there are those of us now who are still very much the same. but we are also those who live next door to you and shop at the same grocery store, and perhaps you wouldn't know until you asked.

but we are just as likely adhere to androgyny as we are to look like someone who conforms strictly to gender norms, and so are you. the nature of having an orientation defined by same (homo) and other (hetero) gender attraction is itself non-binary, as you are no longer adhering to one or another. this made us fierce allies of those who are transgender, especially when (lesbian/bisexual) trans women and bisexual women were forced out of radical lesbian feminist spaces for the crime of proximity to the phallus.

transgender and early non-binary (the popular term being genderqueer) individuals came to our meetings and our groups, and many of them were us as well, and many are today. our quotes of love beyond gender are stamped across so many of our speeches, our art, our literature, and it is the core of the bisexual movement. our activism has had direct effects on positive treatment of all of the members of our community, because in few ways we could relate to a hetero experience, we were able to bridge the gap that many misunderstood.

but you'll make up any and every false reason to hate us. you'll use propaganda spread in the aids crisis to demonize us as promiscuous cheaters who take disease between partners. you will see the statistics of violence against us and it won't matter because we'll have deserved it, somehow. our suicide rates and poor mental health as well as physical health, the poverty and job discrimination, the way we're forced to walk without belonging because we walk an experience that casts doubt on the binary, and people don't want to face that.

if we have pride in being bisexual, it's twisted on us because we don't deserve it. we're told we have privilege over everyone else despite that being categorically untrue in almost every aspect. things are only worse for those of us who are bisexual and transgender, and for those who are bipoc (people of color are more likely to identify as bisexual than white people). but you hardly even believe that there even are transgender and non-binary bisexuals, even though more transgender people identify as bisexual than non-transgender people do.

there's simply no excuse for it. it is undeserved hate born out of fear in the aids crisis, or stoked by transphobic radical lesbian feminists, and the homophobic cishet population buys into it with sadistic glee because they don't care that we have opposite gender attraction, the problem will be that there is any same gender attraction at all. and while there may indeed be those in the bisexual community who subscribe to regressive beliefs, there hasn't ever been a point where this has been a staple or notable, and we are far from the only group with some flawed members.

there is no way logical way to paint us as binarist without discounting the majority opinion and the way have defined ourselves throughout our activist movements. we as bisexuals all have the potential to be attracted to people of the same and opposite genders of ourselves, whatever spectrum that may be in relation, and also binary men and women, cis or trans, it breaks the binary and it breaks the status quo. this is why many hate us, but it isn't going to stop us. believing non-bisexuals when they say we're backwards shows a distinct lack of knowledge of lgbt history as a whole.

it's all just extremely disappointing.

"the idea that bi women are addicted to men and always cheat on lesbians is a harmful stereotype" MEANWHILE:

And before you say "that's just one person"🤡, here's everyone in the comments who has experienced. THE. EXACT. SAME. THING!!!

EVEN BISEXUALS WHO DATE OTHER BISEXUALS AREN'T SAFE FROM THIS!

And they have the AUDACITY to call people "biphobic" for trying to address this issue!? They're truly disgusting af and I will NEVER include them in my fight for gay liberation! That's why whenever any of them try to interact with my account, I tell them to f*ck off! I even have it in my bio!

And this isn't even getting into the homophobia, lesbophobia, misogyny and overall bigotry they express!

👇THIS IS BULLSHIT!!! PEAK bullsh*t. A stupid af take and doesn't even excuse the harm they cause!

Blaming lesbians for the actions of bisexuals is peak lesbophobia on tumblr! As you can see from the comments above, bi women who "mainly date women and only have serious relationships with women" STILL CHEAT ON THOSE WOMEN WITH MEN! And very questionable men at that!

For those people who still think this is a "rare" phenomena, I have another 'bisexual cheating with man' story time for you👇

Do you know this queer character?

Katherine is WLW and uses She/Her pronouns!

[crown-ov-horns]

In Season 1, it seems like they want to make the demons (except Crowley) look ugly.

I guess they abandoned that mission, because they cast Shelley Conn as Beelzebub in Season 2?.. That woman's like, impossible to make ugly?..

I'm sorry, that

Is an absolute doll.

[baby-girl-aaron-dessner]

I feel so much guilt.

I only identify as queer on online, safe places. But I benefit from hetero privilege on offline spaces.

I don’t know what to do.

[lord-radish]

imagine thinking that trans men are inherently bad or evil or predatory on the basis of gendered privilege and societal power structures. cringe

this weekend i met someone off bumble bff and she was one of the most gross homophobic bi women i've ever met. going on rants about how butch lesbians are just misogynistic men and copy-paste their whole personalities and looks from abusive men and abuse women the same way. i started leaving my body and felt so much rage. she just kept going on about how toxic lesbians and the lesbian community are in general and making homophobic comments knowing i'm a lesbian. you are insane if you think being gnc makes a woman manly or masculine. and that appearance makes a woman more abusive. my abusers were extremely feminine bisexual woman.

she said that bisexual men have it worse than lesbians because lesbians are "encouraged" to experiment and bi men are not. what kind of weird ass braindead comment is that?? she would imply lesbians are privileged and act like we are so big in numbers. she said lots of lesbians get into relationships with men and use them for material things and disrespect male partners. i of course knew that was a batshit insane and stupid thing to say and doesnt happen. so i said id never met lesbian who'd been with men and she said in a hostile tone "so you only know goldstars?" ofc she is a hardcore troon supporter and thinks terfs are a real thing and got offended when i said i don't like dick, i told her i was banned on tinder before because of trans women harassing me and reporting me for not wanting them, so she started checking me with questions like "okay so then would you date a trans man?" they think gotcha because self-loathing women. then she would complain about how lesbians would refuse to speak to her because she was bi....i wonder fucking why. you prove us right every time. you hate homosexuals and refuse to acknowledge you're homophobic oppressors pro conversion therapy and align with homophobic men who want to rape us.

like i cant even process how much homophobic misogynistic shit she said but thinks bi women have it the hardest and that lesbians are worse and bad to bi women, that the "hate" is the same...and whenever i tried to make a point she'd say it goes both ways???? it absolutely does not??? like when i said bi women don't think lesbians are real. and funny she would never call a trans "woman" a man lmao but has no issues calling us men. anyways i fucking hate bisexuals you homophobic conversion therapy rape supporting pieces of shit. if i had known she's bi i would have straight up not even bothered to talk to her. thank fuck i have wonderful normie straight friends who support me and agree with me on trans bullshit and these homophobic maidens
