Moonlight Sapphic

The implication here is that we are supposed to “truly” be heterosexual, but the problem with that is that these same biphobes often also seem to have trouble believing that bi women can genuinely love men. When they talk about bi women dating men it’s often with all sorts of underlying assumptions:

She’s with him to enjoy heterosexual privilege.

She’s with him because she dated a woman previously and “needs both”.

She’s with him because bi women can’t help but be male-obsessed.

At no point does it ever seem to occur to anyone that she might simply be in love with the guy. Even the well-intentioned “men are just easier to find/date” is arguably an example of this, because it still hinges on the idea of bi women going for convenience rather than actual feelings.

Like you wanting to fuck both sexes wasn't that big a deal aparently. So the people around them wouldn't take the actions of the bisexual character or their sexuality seriously and instead see it as this character being silly.

But when it's a homosexuals character (whether men or women) they are written with their sexuality being very serious. Where all characters around them take it seriously and the character themselves take it very seriously.

Even when the stories are in the same time period, one society seems like sex is liberation and fun, and the other seems like it's serious.

I propose more lesbian and gay media that is less angsty, but instead more silly.

You'll see trans folk, who cannot afford to begin their transition; non binary people, who chose to present as masculine today; people so early on their self discovery journey, that they're apprehensive about expressing themselves; closeted teens, trying to test the waters and questioning teens, wanting to find themselves. All of those people can pass as a bi woman's boyfriend. Many LGBTQ+ experiences are too complex and nuanced to fit in a binary, and by extension, to spot at first glance.

Passing is a privilege. Being out is a privilege. Snap judgments have NO PLACE at Pride.

"But hey," you say, "If someone is coming to Pride, are they not out?" No. Because if you assume they're only going for their dreaded bisexual partner, so can their parents. You don't know people's stories, and they don't owe them to you.

Your bisexuality is a beautiful and valuable part of you no matter who you choose to date or don't!

Happy Pride to bi women who prefer women, date women exclusively, haven't dated anyone yet, are uncertain or questioning of their orientation, and who are coming out for the first time!

Many of us don’t behave that way, you just hyperfocus on the ones that do and treat them as if they are the only bi women that exist. We are not a hivemind.

We are human beings with our own flaws and desires. We are under no obligation to live our lives according to someone else’s checklist in order to be treated with some basic respect.

I’ve said this multiple times but none of the things that biphobic sapphics have been saying has changed. Books and studies report that sapphics have been saying the same bimisogynistic shit for DECADES. FUCKING DECADES. You’d think the rhetoric wouldve changed or be tired, but no.

that's right, you read correctly! the ones who are now pressuring our young girls (usually GNC lesbians) into mutilating their bodies are none other than... bi women! because that totally makes sense!

happy pride month to all the bisexuals!! you are just as queer as anyone else. especially bi women and fem presenting bis who get so so much horrible treatment and suffer everyday because of it. misogyny and homophobia comes in all different types of forms and the LGBTQIA community festers it. below are some links to educate and learn about bisexuality and biphobia!
