Gee, I wonder if it has to do with the L and G (aka, two letters who are supposedly "standing together in solidarity" with bi people) being relentlessly nasty to bisexual people, telling them they're oppressive and evil and just as "bad" as straight people.

Gotta be a coincidence, right guys?! The LG would never. Only trans do bad things.

But my salt aside. It's probably a combination of both hetero and homosexual people not really understanding bisexuality, or not thinking it's real, even. Or being outright hateful. I've seen a lot of it, and I can't imagine a world where that wouldn't have a negative impact on people's mental health.

As a bi man, gold-star gays, and to a lesser extent, gays in general don't always like that you're "tainted" by vagina. Straight women don't like that you're "tainted" by penis. Gays think we have "passing straight privilege" and yet if you're honest with your partners, as you should be, then a lot of women don't consider you to be an option, and sometimes think you are somehow less of a man. Add to this the usual struggles of dating and finding a compatible person, and the end result is having no one. Can't win.

The thing is I can't blame them though. You can't control how you feel. It just is how it is.

Same with lesbians. The hate toward bi girls is so great. But with lesbians, there are reason: as the many so called bi girls who really minimally interested in women or call themselves lesbians while sleeping with men. For bi men, I'm pretty sure if a man come out as bi, the same sex desire is very strong, not just a minor thing like in the case of many bi girls, because being bi men isn't considered a sexy thing

I'm lesbian and I really don't understand the Biphobia. I think it's stupid. I would date a Bi woman, but I also understand that I can't tell other people who to feel comfortable dating. So, each person be themselves, but no one should be a jerk about it.
