#bi representation – @izzyizumi on Tumblr

bisexuals are not being homophobic/lesbophobic when they tell you that it’s bi erasure to call canonically bi characters gay/lesbian

bisexuals are not being homophobic/lesbophobic when they take issue with you coming onto their posts talking about canonically bi characters with some “umm no sweaty they’re gay :)” bullshit

bisexuals are not being homophobic/lesbophobic when they call gays and lesbians out on their bi erasure and biphobia

Fact: Bisexual people deserve better. From the negative or just absent representation of us in the media, to biphobia persisting in the LGBTQIAP+ community, to intolerance from our partners, parents, and friends, to ignorance in our community and lack of interest in the issues that affect us. We deserve better.

‘This character can’t be bisexual because [list of reasons that don’t actually disprove anyone being bisexual]’

bilations

Translation: I’m biphobic and I really don’t want this character to be bisexual, but unfortunately I can’t think of any good reason besides my bigotry for a reason why. Won’t somebody pity me?

Bi character is only stated to be bi by the creators outside of the canon source: "That doesn't count at all, they should have at least mentioned it in the source material!"

Bi character is said to be bi within the source material: "That doesn't count, because it was only mentioned!"

Bi character's sexuality is an important part of their character: "Here we go again with the thinking mlm and wlw's lives revolve around their sexualities, ugh!"

Bi character has a love interest of the opposite gender: "So they're basically straight, the creators just want Woke Points™."

Bi character has a love interest of the same gender: "So they're basically gay, like nice try but bi people are still underrepresented and this isn't representation."

Bi character has more than one love interest: "Classic stereotyping bi people as promiscuous, god!"

Bi character literally exists in media at all: "This is somehow bad and problematic!!"

And she used the lyrics of Eminem, of all people, to do so.

Here’s an idea, bear with me because it might be too radical, but a relationship between a bi woman and a man is still lgbtq+ representation because it is representative of a bisexual’s relationship, and bisexuals are part of the lgbtq+ community.

Fucking wild I know. I’ll let you take a moment to collect yourselves.

I hope all of you support 20biteen when it comes to being actually bisexual and not just as an extension 20gayteen because bisexuality is not just someone being half gay or being in a same sex relationship or whatever stupid qualifier you have for supporting bisexuals
