Honestly, a lot of the ''discrimination'' bi people face from lesbians and gay men is mostly a result of them just not reading the room. Most well known example I can think of is the bisexual woman who thought it was appropriate to write an article after Pulse that was essentially all about her struggle being a bisexual woman in a relationship with a man, wondering if she was allowed to be ''sad'' about what happened. The world really didn't need that article.

Bi women like her are the quintessential 'bi queer woman' so I appreciate how annoying that can be for lesbians and gay men.

Also, about the first tweet - it's really hard to believe everything the media tells us about trans people is a lie when most of the things in the media are what led me to no longer support the trans community years before the media even picked up on it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Tbh, I feel like almost all the gay/lesbian crankiness to bi people is one of four things. 1. Straight people who pretend to be bi for woke points and proceed to lecture actual LGB about being LGB 2. Bi people who pretend to be gay and don’t care how they fuck over gays and lesbians (“I love my girlfriend’s penis. Every lesbian does!”) 3. Bi people lecturing LG about how we could just be fluid 4. Bi people in straight relationships who can’t accept they’re in a straight relationship and need to shout about how “queer” they are.

The first doesn’t even actually involve bi people. The rest are shitty and tone deaf. If LG people are dumping on bi people simply for being bi and owning it, fuck that forever. It’s not okay. However, bi people who want to dump on LG can’t get mad if we don’t like it.
