Controversial take but..
That normal bi woman who you can't clock as bi without her telling you is way more authentically LGB than any rainbow covered they/them who only dates women if they're amab. If you have to try to look gay to feel included in the LGB community, maybe you aren't meant to be in this community. LGB needs to be a separate community from TQ at this point, the divide between us is obvious, but instead they're kicking same sex attracted people out of our own spaces.
Storytime: I was told by my friend’s TIF coworker that I’m hiding my queerness through my boyfriend, and I’m not with him because I like him but because I’m trying to look “straight” and because I don’t look queer on the outside I am hiding my true self from him and myself.
She also expressed that I am actually gay, not bisexual, and should break up with him because I clearly am using being bisexual to run from the fact that I actually like girls only. Then proceeded to tell my friend numerous times that her and I should date.
Number one, I hate being called queer. I’m bisexual, point blank. I told her I was bisexual and then she continued using the term queer.
Two, I find it mind boggling that my sexuality is called into question just because I don’t “look” bi, whatever the hell that means. This is that cult mentality behavior and I was so shocked to see what I usually see on the internet expressed to me in real life. It’s preposterous. I genuinely believe these people need their own community away from LGB, so I don’t have to hear that shit again
