Hi I'm Abby and if you didn't know, I am VERY openly bisexual. And I wont let the community that I love so much and that I'm apart of hate on me and my bisexual siblings. So I wanna debunk all the for biphobia arguments and what not.Β
There aren't many arguments but the ones I see are mostly targeted towards women who are bisexual. Biphobia is heavily rooted in sexism and heteronormativity. Because these women don't ONLY like women, they are "playing into heterosexuality" every time they find a man attractive and date one.
A lot of people say that we're safer because we can appear hetero but you cant choose who you're into, it just happens. I cant choose whether to be into men or women, I like both, it's a gamble. As a woman, sometimes I am very male focus but sometimes I'm also very female focused, and I cant help it.Β
Biphobia is a huge indicator of the safety levels of queer people. Especially when it comes to attacking. bisexual girls with a heavy male preference. And I understand that with the transgressions happening against the LGBTQ, its scary to live right now. We're trying to protect our community from attack and bi women are the closest the straight people as possible. But attacking people in our own community only drives those people away and turns them against us.
Just because a woman is in a relationship with a male does not take away from the many women they've been into/dated. With how much internal fighting has been happening, this is the time to band together and be more of a community than EVER.Β
I love you queer people. I love you bi people. <3
