It would be nice to have an active place for bisexuals similar to r/truebisexuals! Perhaps if we post here more often we can make it more active.

So I guess I'm wondering what the people here would consider real biphobia to be like?

Biphobia is when people hold terrible stereotypes against us. That we sleep around, are players/cheaters, are secretly heterosexual OR homosexual(no inbetween), that we're liars since we've only been with ONE sex, therefore in their eyes we are not "truly" bisexual--also, that we have to love both sexes identically otherwise---once again---secretly hetero OR homo, that we're NOT monogamous and are hypersexual, and lastly we are attention seeking/fake and don't belong anywhere.

AND...Biphobia is them treating us terribly differently based on these stereotypes...

What are some unique challenges we face, and how could we go about addressing them given the current climate around these issues?

Not sure exactly how to "address" them in particular. It seems since the TQ+ become popular, it also became popular to hate on the B, as though we're also part of the problem and "preying" on both opposite AND same-sex...

How do you navigate both straight and same-sex dating as a bi person right now?

Most people assume I am homosexual rather than bisexual. It's annoying that because I dress a certain way, they think I am only one way or the other and seem to forget bisexuality exists.

As a female bisexual, I haven't necessarily had issues with my love life, just the people outside of it are highly judgemental.

My (religious) brothers think it's a "phase". My coworkers/"friends" thought I was secretly same-sex attracted ONLY. They'll ask if I have a "boyfriend" back when I was single, said no and they quickly ask if I have a "girlfriend". Had coworkers tell me they thought I was only same-sex attracted. Most likely the people asking if I had a "boyfriend" were just tryingg to be polite...

Lastly, people I was with romantically don't care lol and that's ultimately all that matters to me. I would want a partner who's fine with me being who I am. My currently partner doesn't care at all that I'm bi.
