1) What's the first thing you think of when seeing that acronym? Alphabet soup

2) Do you feel as though you are part of the community? I think I am, but I don't feel like I am.

3) In your opinion, do all those letters belong together? If not, which letters do you feel belong together vs do not make sense? LGB make sense together, TQ should go off and leave us alone, and the other stuff either isn't relevant or isn't real.

3) As part of the B, do you feel supported by the other letters? I barely feel supported by my own letter! 😂

4) What is a good way to support the B? Stop trying to define us if you aren't bi, stop asserting that we are somehow unable to fully understand homophobia or love either sex just because we can be attracted to both, stop downplaying what we deal with any time we dare to speak up about things that affect us.

5) What is a good way for the B to support the other letters? Stop talking over them, stop trying to interpret their sexualities and experiences through our own (if we don't like it when they do that, it's hypocritical to pull the same shit ourselves), respect their boundaries and exclusive spaces, and for fuck's sake if someone says they don't date bisexuals just accept it and move on. You don't want someone that doesn't accept you for who you are anyway.

6) Any additional thoughts? I don't know if there can ever be a real bi community. I think maybe we're just too diverse. But it would be nice if we had one, and if overall the bisexual "consciousness level" wasn't still at zero. Lol

Oh no! Why's that? :(

Is it because of this?

I think if there's one thing the bi community could do is fight together against the TQ theories and against biphobia.

Also...I wish we had a bisexual community that isn't full of dumb memes like lemon bars or bisexual bobcuts or...finger guns...

I feel it...I keep seeing biphobia around that it's getting irritating.
