#tbh in both of those examples ive personally seen much more bi women talking abt how it affects them

I am so tired of people here regurgitating the "the ONLY reason bisexual women don't call themselves lesbians today is because lesbians collectively kicked them out of the community"

I KNOOO its one of those things people repeat bc they heard it somewhere and don't even think abt it bc even on face value like, there's significantly more bi women than lesbians and lesbians are one of the smallest groups in the lgbt community, even assuming that lesbians somehow unanimously agreed to do this, so why would bi women not just simply continue to call themselves whatever the fuck they want. it's so frustrating bc if u ever actually spoke to a bi person you'd see that 99% pride themselves on their bisexuality and would be frustrated if they didn't have a way to proclaim it!!

it's another one of these stupid discourses that attempts to frame lesbians and bi women's interests as opposing (and lesbians as the gatekeeping oppressors naturally despite being the significantly smaller group???) but in reality most of the time it serves us both like ur equally likely to see ppl calling the 'bi lesbian' phenomenon biphobic as lesbophobic. ppl will literally say stuff that implies bisexuality is something which needs to be obfuscated or pimped up and then r like why would LESBIANS do this!!

#ask #anon #like a lot of bi women + lesbians don't like the 'queer woman' thing bc we like our sexuality being clear #tbh in both of those examples ive personally seen much more bi women talking abt how it affects them #not that that's a bad thing but then when it's time to defend them n ppl immediately jump for the hater gatekeeping lesbians it's like... #it's interesting that thing ppl often do where they assume all lesbians disagree w them and all bi people agree
