The way Johnny Depp and now the media is treating Amber Heard because she is bisexual only solidifies the point that even when we are in “het passing” relationships we are not suddenly just as privileged as straight people. Bisexual women experience the highest rates of sexual violence (50%) and we are likely to have our sexuality used as a way to demonize us in many of those cases. Bi women still experience homophobia and biphobia in a multitude of ways ALL THE TIME, even if their partner is a cis man. Unless we choose to actively closet ourselves from our partner and the world around us but that’s a whole other conversation about how being closeted isn’t a privilege lol it’s very painful and isolating !!! Okay anyways I just want people to acknowledge that biphobia is very real and very dangerous and actually take bi people seriously when we talk about it.
