    If you want to laugh at the stupidity of some heterosexual people then you can use another and more accurate term. You're also apart of the problem if you think using sexist and biphobic terms is the key.

    Plus, biphobia also exists in: domestic violence, depression (mental health), sexual assault and poverty. Not to mention that it's also illegal to be bisexual in some countries, just as it with homosexuality, more than transphobia. We also have to deal with shit from both gays and straights. Alongside erasure, and stereotypes.

    So yes, sweeheart, biphobia is an actual and serious thing. Just as homophobia, racism, sexism, etc. It's so fucking hypocritical to whine about homophobia but not biphobia as well. Especially when this sub is about dropping the TQ and being against the discrimination of sexuality. More importantly, when it's coming from our own members.

      Is all this really worth it, especially where we are all in agreement in this space that the posted behavior is shitty and misappropriating? If you have a problem with LARPing heterosexual gaytrenders, shouldn’t they be the target of your ire? No need to frame this as a problem with bisexuals or “bisluts,” which is an unnecessarily vicious and inflammatory word for bisexual women. From what I’ve seen with these heterosexual couples where the male is a trans women, the woman in the relationship appears to be straight not bisexual (and it appears you’ve picked up on this too). And sometimes the straight woman does claim bisexuality (i.e. neonfiona) but with the trans relationship being their only example of a gay relationship/same-sex attraction (of course) So I’d say the bisexuals are having their sexual orientation sullied by this too.
