I'm bisexual. Trans people have pursued me thinking I'm a lesbian (I had a high-profile LTR with a woman) and then are disappointed when they find out I'm bi - it's not as validating. Others have told me angrily that I have no reason for turning them down since I'm bisexual.

I really dislike the idea that bisexuals are the natural sex partners for TIM. I like men and women, but why would that mean I'm attracted to a man in bad makeup who's grown small breasts and has a dick that can't get hard? Nothing about that is what turns me on in men or women.

I've also met so many trans whose bizarre ideas of being a man (transmen condescending to me as the little woman) or lesbian (transwomen thinking 2 women together are a giddy romance of bubble baths and lingerie) tell me they could never be a viable partner. I think in general, trans people tend to bring a lot of issues to the table that make them unattractive to people. Those I know in solid relationships are with partners they had before transitioning.

TIL bisexual apparently literally means you have to have sex with every person, who knew?

This was always the stereotype we faced from people, especially men. We're apparently always down for sex, multiple partners, anything. Sad to think we pushed back against it for so long only for the stereotypes to get codified as progressive.

Not only that but why are you Forced to like them?? Shouldn’t you like them because you like them?? No one should be forced/pressured to like someone they do not like
