We are bisexual. We are beautiful. We are strong. We are here. We are not confused. We are not greedy. We are not experimenting. We are not going through a phase. We are bisexual. We are attracted to people of all genders. We may be attracted to men, women, transgender people, non-binary people, and anyone else in between. Our attractions are fluid and can change over time. We are proud of our bisexuality. We will not be erased. We will not be silenced. We will not be discriminated against. We demand equal rights and representation. We demand to be seen and heard. We demand to be treated with respect. We are bisexual. We are here. We are not going away. Bisexual people can be attracted to people of any gender, including men, women, transgender people, non-binary people, and anyone else in between. Bisexual people's attractions can be fluid and can change over time. For example, someone might be attracted to mostly men one year and mostly women the next. Bisexual people can be in monogamous or polyamorous relationships. Bisexual people can be cisgender or transgender. Bisexual people can be of any race, ethnicity, or religion. Bisexual people can be of any age, socioeconomic status, or educational level. Bisexual people are just as diverse as any other population group. We come from all walks of life and have a wide range of experiences. What unites us is our attraction to people of all genders. The bisexual manifesto is a declaration of our existence, our pride, and our demands for equal rights and representation. We are here, we are not going away, and we will not be silenced. We demand to be seen and heard. We demand to be treated with respect. We demand equal rights. We are bisexual. We are beautiful. We are strong. We are here.

"whether you hc Kerry as bisexual or—" Kerry is originally a character from a tabletop role-playing game that's been made into a videogame by CDPR. I don't need to hc him as bisexual because he's canonically bisexual, thank you very much.

even in Cyberpunk 2077 he has an ex wife and two kids that he definitely didn't aquire by jerking off into a cup. he did love her. he did want kids. the trauma his ex wife caused is another, unexplored thing that the devs just avoid completely and refuse to talk about his bisexuality.

so if you harass real people for modding Kerry to be with a female V to the point that people feel afraid to post their trans feminine looking men and feel like they have to state immediately something like, "it's not like I ship him with a woman, it's a man!", then the problem is within you.

they're all fictional characters, but again: Kerry is a canonical bisexual character, whether you like that or not. and I, personally, will not apologize for wanting to see him with a woman in the game, whether she's cis or trans. Kerry would go for either. the way his preference is portrayed in the game, zero explanation and reason, making it look like he's gay and always has been, is the developers' fault.

(should I remind y'all again that bisexuality is a spectrum?)

#kerry eurodyne #cyberpunk 2077 #cb2077 #'you don't love him' dude.... #natisplaying #and to be clear: #I do both want kerry with a female #I do want kerry with Johnny #and I do want Johnny with V #the fact that I have my otp that I'll always choose over other ships #won't stop me for advocating for bisexual kerry #you guys should cure your biphobia tbh

"I mean, I'm definitely gay in spirit, and I probably could be bisexual. But I'm married, and I'm more attracted to Courtney than I ever have been toward a person, so there's no point in trying to sow my oats at this point. [Laughs] If I wouldn't have found Courtney, I probably would have carried on with a bisexual lifestyle. But I just find her totally attractive in all ways."

It's still Pride my guys. Apayauq won a Now Award from THEM!

“Part of the reason why I did [the Iditarod] again was I wanted to show the world that I am trans,” she explains. “I didn’t have anyone to look up to when I was a kid. When I was four years old, I was like, ‘Oh, I’m going to be a girl when I grow up.’ And nobody around me was like, ‘Hey, yeah, you can actually do that.’ I want the representation to be there.”

“I also wanted to show that being tough isn’t necessarily a masculine trait,” she continues. “I’m really inspired by other female mushers.”

wesley is gay except for when he’s bisexual except for when he’s a lesbian. and he is transgender in any direction. it’s very simple.

#however unlike dax who is all of those at once it’s usually not all at the same time #I’m a gay wesley advocate but the lesbianism cannot be discounted or denied #and in the universe where the scrapped episode pitch is real (which it is to me) he’s bisexual. hope this helps.

[bisexualseraphim]

I’m about to say some shit that a lot of you are really not gonna want to hear.

If you call yourself a trans ally but constantly put men down, you are not a trans ally.

If you call yourself body positive but call men ugly or make fun of them for having small dicks, you are not body positive.

If you call yourself a mental health advocate but that advocacy doesn’t include people with personality disorders or psychotics, you are not a mental health advocate.

If you call yourself pro-choice but object to a woman partaking in sex work or surrogacy, you are not pro-choice.

If you call yourself kink positive but shame others for having non-harmful unorthodox fantasies you personally don’t like, you are not kink positive.

If you claim to accept bisexuals but feel disgust at their “opposite gender” attraction, you are partaking in biphobia.

If you claim to be against xenophobia but make fun of other people’s accents or dialects, you are partaking in xenophobia.

If you claim to be for class solidarity but make fun of working class people’s dialects, food, clothes or culture, you are partaking in classism.

If you claim to be against Islamophobia but find yourself associating Islam with terrorism, you are partaking in Islamophobia.

If you claim to be against antisemitism but find yourself regularly calling Jews Zionists, you are partaking in antisemitism.

I’m not saying any of this makes you A Xenophobe™️ or inherently bigoted. But these are just a few things many leftists still need to unlearn when it comes to seeking true acceptance and equality, and I see far too much of this behaviour on this website from people who claim to be ardently against it. Everyone has subconscious prejudices that need to be addressed and what matters is making the effort to improve on that behaviour once it’s been recognised. These are just examples that have stood out to me the most lately and there will be more because none of us are perfect and I have been guilty of these before as well. I just hope to see change and growth rather than indignation.

THE DEFINITION OF BISEXUALITY (ACCORDING TO BI ORGANIZATIONS, ACTIVISTS, AND THE COMMUNITY) - TUMBLR MOBILE EDITION

Bisexual Organizations:

http://www.biresource.net/BRC_Brochure_2010.pdf (Bisexual Resource Center: USA)

“The BRC uses bisexual as an umbrella term for people who recognize and honor their potential for sexual and emotional attraction to more than one gender. We celebrate and affirm the diversity of identity and expression regardless of labels.”

http://bisexual.org/am-i-bi/ (American Institute of Bisexuality)

“A bi person has the capacity for romantic and/or sexual attraction to more than one gender.”

http://www.bisexualindex.org.uk/index.php/AmIBisexual (Bisexual Index: UK)

“This is how we define it: A bisexual is someone who is attracted to more than one gender. You might care about the gender of your partner a lot, a little, or not at all - but their gender doesn’t prevent you from being attracted to them.”

http://www.biuk.org/ (Bi UK)

“Bisexuality (or bi) is commonly defined as being attracted to both men and women. However, many members of bisexual communities tend to prefer the definition: ‘a changeable sexual and emotional attraction to people of any sex, where gender may not be a defining factor’: the emphasis here is on being attracted to more than one gender or being attracted to people regardless of gender.” (under the FAQ link)

http://binetusa.blogspot.com/2014/03/binet-usa-bisexual-media-guide.html (BiNet USA)

“Bisexual - A person whose enduring physical, romantic and/or emotional attraction is to other people of various sexes and/or gender identities. Individuals may experience this attraction in differing ways and degrees over their lifetime.”

http://www.torontobinet.org/bi-culture.html (Toronto Bisexual Network)

“Bisexuality is the potential to feel attracted to and to engage in sexual and/or romantic relationships with people of any sex or gender.”

Activists:

http://robynochs.com/quotes/ (Robyn Ochs; Bisexual Activist)

“I call myself bisexual because I acknowledge that I have in myself the potential to be attracted - romantically and/or sexually - to people of more than one sex and/or gender, not necessarily at the same time, not necessarily in the same way, and not necessarily to the same degree.”

Other Organizations:

http://www.hrc.org/resources/entry/glossary-of-terms (Human Rights Campaign)

“Bisexual | A person emotionally, romantically, sexually and relationally attracted to more than one sex and/or gender, though not necessarily simultaneously, in the same way or to the same degree.”

Community on Tumblr:

http://bifacts.tumblr.com/faq

“Bisexuality is the attraction to two or more genders, not necessarily to the same extent, not necessarily in the same way, not necessarily at the same time.”

http://bi-privilege.tumblr.com/idingasbipolyorpan

“bisexuality is, broadly speaking, the attraction to two or more genders. bisexuality is not inherently or transphobic or exclusive of non binary genders—note that there are both binary and non-binary trans people who identify as bisexual. it is possible for bisexuals to be attracted to be attracted to anywhere from two to an infinite number of genders. many times, bisexuals will define their own sexuality as the attraction to both similar and different genders (which encompasses all genders). however, it is important to remember that bisexuals can be attracted to multiple genders without being attracted to people of their own gender. for example, an agender bi person may be attracted to women, bigender, and genderfluid people, or a bi woman might be attracted to men and agender people…..”

http://bi-privilege.tumblr.com/definitions

“bisexual: the (sexual) attraction to two or more genders. sometimes defined as the attraction to same + different genders; however, this is not true of all bisexuals.”

http://biphobic-bisexual.tumblr.com/faq

“bisexuality is the attraction to two or more genders”

http://bisexuality-is.tumblr.com/faq

“Bisexuals have been defining bisexuality as the attraction to two or more/same and other for decades. This isn’t some made-up tumblr joke. Words change meaning. Prefixes change meanings. We didn’t even give ourselves the term bisexual to begin with, doctors did.”

http://nonmono-perspective.tumblr.com/definitions

“bisexual- sexually attracted to your same/similar gender and other gender(s), OR sexually attracted to 2 or more genders. Some bisexuals feel that they experience different kinds or degrees of attraction to different genders/gender presentations.”

http://pinkpurplebluepride.tumblr.com/faq

“Bi: attracted to two or more genders. Some people will define it as “attracted to similar and different genders,” but this is slightly less inclusive than the above definition. I’m of the mind that “similar and different” evolved to satisfy bi=2 prescriptivists, but they are insatiable and forever gross.”

http://thesunnysideofbeingbi.tumblr.com/basics

“…being bi does not reinforce the gender binary. And some bi people are only attracted to men and women–and that’s ok! However, bi is not defined as the attraction to men and women, or two genders. It can be for an individual, but not for our entire community. That definition is not only false, but harmful. (This is not to imply that bi people can’t be transphobic!)

This also means that you don’t have to be sexually attracted to people to be bi. There are so many different kinds of attraction, and to just focus on bisexuality would be excluding a lot of people (e.g. being biromantic).”

http://bisexuwhale-pride.tumblr.com/faq

“What does bisexual mean?

Attraction to:

1. Two or more genders or

2. More than one gender.”

http://themeaningofbisexuality.tumblr.com/

“Bisexuality is the attraction to two or more genders”

http://soloontherocks.tumblr.com/post/104877455841/nothing-extraordinary-soloontherocks-got-it

“Bisexuality is not half gay and half straight. Bisexuality is not in between gay and straight. Bisexuality is not gay when dating the same gender and straight when dating a different gender. Bisexuality is not gay-ish or straight-ish.

Bisexuality is its own fully independent self-contained complete orientation.”

http://bifaq.tumblr.com/post/124565262825/i-dont-find-bi-means-2-to-be-offensive-and-im

http://julietburgess.tumblr.com/post/17986625411/bisexual-is-not-oppressive-can-we-talk-about

Other things worth the read about the definition of bisexuality:

Bisexual Manifesto from 1990:

http://binetusa.blogspot.com/2014/01/1990-bi-manifesto.html

“We are tired of being analyzed, defined and represented by people other than ourselves, or worse yet, not considered at all. We are frustrated by the imposed isolation and invisibility that comes from being told or expected to choose either a homosexual or heterosexual identity.

Monosexuality is a heterosexist dictate used to oppress homosexuals and to negate the validity of bisexuality.

Bisexuality is a whole, fluid identity. Do not assume that bisexuality is binary or duogamous in nature: that we have “two” sides or that we must be involved simultaneously with both genders to be fulfilled human beings. In fact, don’t assume that there are only two genders. Do not mistake our fluidity for confusion, irresponsibility, or an inability to commit. Do not equate promiscuity, infidelity, or unsafe sexual behavior with bisexuality. Those are human traits that cross all sexual orientations. Nothing should be assumed about anyone’s sexuality, including your own.

We are angered by those who refuse to accept our existence; our issues; our contributions; our alliances; our voice. It is time for the bisexual voice to be heard“

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/aj-walkley/bisexual-gender-binary_b_2425081.html

”Defining bisexuality, just like defining any identity label, can be complicated and controversial. My definition of the label “bisexual” is informed by the work of The Bisexual Organizing Project. It includes people who use labels such as “bisexual,” “non-monosexual,” “persexual,” “omnisexual,” “ambisexual,” “pansexual,” “queer” or any other term that people use to identify themselves as individuals who are emotionally, romantically or physically attracted to people of more than one sex, gender or gender identity. I also recognize that not everyone chooses to adopt a label to describe their sexual orientation, and I also include non-labeling people who see themselves as part of a queer, non-monosexual or bisexual community under my definition of “bisexual.”“

Reasons why the prefix/etymology argument is not a very good one against “bi = attraction to 2 or more”

we're watching basketball on abc and there was a promo for 911, a show i do not watch, and my husband was like "that looks like a wild episode, what's going on in that show right now," and thanks to tumblr i was able to explain the whole premise of the wedding and all the characters and all the current drama. again i do not watch this show

#very happy for 911 fans for the bisexual firefighter #plus the actor seems like a great advocate for the character #i had not realized how much of this show ive watched through gifs

The "I Can Always Tell" Crowed Is Seldom Right

This is from the Advocate. The “trans” panic is real and the fear and paranoia about who is transgender and who is not is even greater. You can thank the Christian nationalists and the qanon crowd with their “transinvestigations”. If you are a cisgender woman who prefers short hair. You can expect hostile treatment from those who are paranoid over transgenders in the bathroom. It does not matter…

Radical feminism isn't an identity or a label that you can use because it sounds cool. It's a liberation movement that requires radical change through radical action. If you're het-partnered, you're contributing to women's oppression and you can't really consider yourself a radical feminist (without watering down the liberation movement and making everyone else seem like a massive hypocrite).

Men have oppressed women through relationships and pregnancies for hundreds of years, so partnering with a man is about as unradical that you get.

Why are you so obsessed with including het-partnered women in radical feminism anyway? Nobody is saying that you can't believe radical feminist beliefs or take radical feminist action, just that you can't use a word that doesn't apply to you.

Genuine question, but do you have any idea how much radical feminist theory we use to understand radical feminism on Tumblr was actually developed by 'het-partnered women?' If we exclude their contributions, then we're not protecting the sanctity of the radical feminist label or anything like that - we're just pointlessly weakening the movement.

(Here's a brief list of 'het-partnered' radical feminists who actually contributed something to radical feminism -> Andrea Dworkin, Catherine MacKinnon, Naomi Weisstein, Ellen Willis, Roxanne Dunbar, Phyllis Chesler, Robin Morgan, Alix Kates Shulman.)

I think radblr has a bad habit of politicising non-political issues. Choosing to date/marry a man isn't a feminist choice, but it's not 'contributing to women's oppression' either... I'd like to see fewer arguments around 'can het-partnered women be radical feminists' and more discussion around 'what do we need to do to make society as safe for women as possible?'

#i don't think lesbian/bisexual women need to advocate on behalf of heterosexual women if they don't want to #but i don't know what this stupid discourse is actually designed to accomplish (other than defend people who do f all for women?) #'what do we need to do to make society as safe for women as possible' isn't just for 'het-partnered women' btw - applies to lesbians too #(in a 'how do we protect lesbians from growing up/living in a heteropatriarchal home' sort of way) #(the idea that 'heterosexuality' is inherently unethical is a political lesbian belief) #i think a lot of radfems need to be more practical #anon
