To help fight #BiErasure, my doctor recommended ProBi once a day.

(This is a joke for my bisexual friends.)

#GSRD

A long time ago, I told a lesbian friend that I was bi. Probably the first person I ever told. She asked me why I thought that, and I gave her my reasons. They apparently weren't good enough for her, and she scoffed and said I was straight.

I figured she must know better than I did, what with her being much more experienced than I was and all. So when two friends of mine (on separate occasions) came out to me as bi, I scoffed and told them they were gay.

Because I was laughed at for coming out, it left me thinking I couldn't trust my own judgment about myself. And then I went and passed that curse onto others. I hope it stopped with them. I hope they were able to ignore my useless opinion. If I was still in contact with them, I'd apologize.

#BiErasure #queer #ComingOut

#QueerAlltag #BiErasure Verlassen zu werden, weil die Frau eine Lesbe ist und das ja wegen meiner Bisexualität eh nichts hat werden können. Lesben sagen mir, ich könnte mich ja nur nicht entscheiden. Ich lebe jetzt in einer heteropassing beziehung.

Happy #BisexualAwarenessWeek 2024! #Bisexual woman here in a hetero-presenting marriage.

An sich interessiert mich #RalfSchumacher nicht viel. Im Rahmen seines #ComingOuts lese ich jetzt aber, dass sich Menschen darüber aufregen, dass er als "Schwuler" zuvor "unter falschen Voraussetzungen" mit einer Frau verheiratet gewesen sei. Sorry: So lange wir nur wissen, dass er vorher mit einer Frau liiert war und jetzt mit einem Mann, ist so ein Take nichts anderes als #BiErasure. Kommt mal runter!

#biErasure in deutschen Soaps ist schockierend: Wenn eine Soap einen schwulen Charakter bekommt ("muss man ja heutzutage ab und an mal"), "wird" ein bis da als hetero charakterisierter Charakter für diesen Charakter schwul. So weit so gut, kann ja auch IRL passieren. Krass ist halt nur, dass, wenn der schwule Charakter dann zuerst aussteigt, dann "wird" der ehemals heterosexuelle Charakter wieder heterosexuell und das Thema wird quasi ausgespart – dass er bi sein könnte, kommt keinem in den Sinn

"Opinion: What people don’t understand about being bisexual"

Yes, this article is on CNN. That said, it's pretty good and I identify with the author about feeling uncomfortable at Pride events.

#biphobia / #bierasure is so strange to me. Like, is it really that impossible to imagine that people might find romantic or sexual attraction to others for something besides their anatomy??

Oh I forgot, I'm married to a cis man and have children with him, therefore any #bisexual or #queer feelings I've had were all a self-deluded lie and I was ramrod straight the whole time 🙃

I found a Famous Bi People list.

Ach, #BrokebackMountain, das ist doch der Film über zwei schwule Cowboys?
Nein, das sind bisexuelle Schäfer.

Und auch #FreddyMercury war nicht schwul.

Part of #biErasure is having only one category to be shoved into for everything from "95% attracted to women but married a cis man" like me to "have exclusively dated and slept with men one's entire life, but likes to spank it to naked pictures of women sometimes." If you call yourself a lesbian, that's "harmful to real lesbians who have NEVER been with a man." but certainly, calling oneself straight wouldn't be accurate either. There's also a bizarre level of gatekeeping... How "gay" do you have to be to "qualify" as bisexual, or are you from the camp that thinks bi is a "cop out" and you're either 100% gay or 100% straight? Isn't the whole thing about lgbtquia+++ (or, according to this link, "LGBTQQIP2SA" https://www.loyola.edu/department/lgbtq-services/resources/lgbtq-terms-definitions ) supposed to be NOT locking people into rigid labels??

Unless I'm specifically trying to make a post found by lgbtq+++ people, I just say #queer. Not straight, cis, and monogamous? Great! You're queer. Seems easy enough...? And if you want to search within subcultures of queerness, then you look for that label specifically (bisexual, pansexual, lesbian, nonbinary, polyamorous, etc). But requiring a letter for every variety of queerness to be added to the label invariably leaves other groups out, not to mention makes it inaccessible from a SEO web search perspective (why put up a video essay about growing up queer in a country that still has a death penalty for gay sexual activity if no one can find it?).

Anyway, please don't hate me, I'm actively trying NOT to exclude anyone, that's why I'm in favor of one catch-all word that doesn't have to be infinitely expanded as new "categories" of queerness are "qualified" as "valid" enough to be included...

Just to be clear: the guy’s got a wife and a litter of kids. He might be a closeted bisexual, but he’d be bi, not gay.

Also, as far as I can tell, he’s Not A Nice Person. But that’s no reason for #BiErasure. Just sayin. 🙏

#UFC #fighter #MarvinVettori gets #slammed #hard for asking whether #men can be #bisexual. He doesn't think so, "But he thinks about it in the middle of the night!"

#BiErasure is a real #problem in the #LGBTQ+ #community, and #society at large.
