Bisexual moodboard
Happy bi week!
when i was younger and uninformed i used to think that bi people were attention whores who were more likely to cheat on their partners but look where we are now

you know who’s cute? bi girls. bi girls are cute.
i hear ur talking bi *slides on sunglasses* ive personally taken to calling myself polysexual, because for me 'bi' implies attraction to 2 genders, while 'pan' implies not caring whats between dem legs. i go with 'poly' now because im attracted to more than 2 genders but i /do/ care whats between dem legs--i just see different pros to each. so diks are just as appealing as vageens but in different ways.... if that makes any sense at all xD
thanks for sharing that!! to be honest the more people talk to me about it the clearer it becomes that sexuality is not something that can encompass one single definition, it’s going to vary depending on the person, and how they define it themselves
personally i don’t think we should get so hung up on defining our own orientation, because in the end it doesn’t really matter, so long as you are happy identifying as what you believe yourself to be
hey there! some bi people like myself define bisexuality as being attracted to two or more genders!
i’ve seen that definition before, yeah!! i think that’s the one that is the most coherent tbh

im honestky not trying to needle just rying to get it right in my head cause if pan is like gender doesn't matter, like anything goes, than the term bi would exclude people of certain genders which i guess is okay but i think the problem comes from bi implying (but not necessarily meaning but definitely implying) two gender male and female so i mean i guess i can call myself pan since idc about gender but i always thought that's what bi meant???
i think it’s fluid really, people can identify as what makes them feel comfortable, everyone has their own definition of their sexuality!!
The description of bisexuality that I most identify with is instead of the bi meaning men and women, it meaning your attraction going two ways, both towards your same sex/gender identity and away from it. Just in response to your recent ask :)
oooo that’s a really good way of putting it actually!!
Bisexuality is the attraction to your own gender and others, where pansexuality is attraction to all genders, or without considering gender. So technically the terms are distinct, though very related.
hmmmm, thanks for clearing that up!!

I tend to say that I identify as bi since I have a preference towards certain genders that changes pretty frequently, where as if someone identifies as pan I automatically assume that they view all genders the same.
yeah!!! that’s how i see it as well

in regard to the bi thing, I'm bi too and my sister (who has recently taken a gender studies class) has been bothering me asking why i dont call myself pan, and I honestly call myself bi because i'm heard of bisexual in the third grade and pansexual in the 13th so idk i don't really know what the difference is at this point but like should i just say pansexual?
i don’t think anyone should be forced to identify as something else out of some sort of contrived obligation, if you feel comfortable identifying as bisexual then you are bisexual!! my understanding of it is that pansexuality is more where you would look at a person and you wouldn’t have a different form or strength of attraction based upon gender, it’s just that you’re attracted to who you’re attracted to, bisexuality tends to be a bit less fluid i think??
i don’t really know, i kind of skirt around it because i don’t like to accidentally offend groups or anything with inaccurate definitions, but i’ve always felt that i identify as a bisexual person and i don’t think that discriminates against anyone in any way at all
Anonymous asked:
Do people ever ask u why youre bi and not pan?? like do they ever go ""aren't u excluding other ppl"" bc i get it all the time
hmmmm i’ve never had anybody tell me that directly before, but i have seen some people say that bisexual people can’t be attracted to trans people which was just???? i think some people misconstrue the difference between bisexuality and pansexuality a lot tbh

Hi! So I'm writing a book. My MC is bi, I didn't make her that way, it just felt natural and I'm going with it. But another major character seems gay to me; and they're both dating major characters of the same gender. Should I be scared that if I publish, people are gonna think I forced a bunch of characters to be straight? I'm not sure if my question makes sense
no not at all!!! a character doesn’t need to be in a relationship to ‘prove’ their sexuality, it’s just an easier way of explicitly stating it, do what feels natural!! besides, having an actual bisexual character is a thousand times more progressive than most things in popular media lmao
just go with the flow i guess??

this whole bi!steve thing is making me feel really insecure in my sexuality, because a bunch of people are making the point that steve must have known about his bisexuality in tfa (because apparently you just know your sexuality straight away?) but it took me a long time to realise that I'm bisexual and they're just invalidating that? Apparently there's only one way to be bi? IDK, I'm sorry if this is oversharing and doesn't make sense, I just needed to share with someone
this makes total sense!! it’s an illogical ideology and it’s such a generalisation like you cannot just assume that everyone knows their sexuality immediately!! a lot of people have to come to terms with it, and if we’re talking about steve specifically i mean the guy was born in the 1920’s?? imagine how much internalised homophobia there’s gonna be there???
stop invalidating bisexuality it’s really gross

i think i'm bi?? i'm not sure. i have a boyfriend right now and it's pretty serious but i have a feeling that if i could, i would like girls. idk i get all these girl crushes on celebrities and i find girls really pretty but if i do end up liking them, it will only be to a certain extent. so yeah, i don't really know if it's okay for me to identify as bi if im not as into girls as i am into guys :////
listen!!! don’t ever ever ever let anyone tell you that you have to fit certain specifications in order to identify as a certain sexuality!! that is bullshit and people will just use it to be biphobic towards you, tell you things like “it’s just a phase” or that your feelings towards girls aren’t real because you’ve only ever been with a man etc etc
please don’t listen to shit like that, you define your own sexuality, it doesn’t matter if you are only ever attracted to one woman, if you're only ever attracted to one man, if you’re only sexually interested in one sex or romantically interested in another, if you get crushes on guys less than girls or crushes on girls less than guys - none of that makes your sexuality any less valid!! never feel bad for your own sexuality, you are a part of the community if you identify as an lgbtq+ person, never let anyone dictate what you can or cannot be based upon social norms
if you think you’re bi, you’re bi, it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks, you do you!!
