Data From A Recent Report, Which Shows Which Types Of Relationships Bisexual People Are In. So You All

bisexuals of the blade 💜 ⚔️ 🗡

meaning: a solidarity movement made up of bisexuals who support all of our m-spec siblings, whether they’re pan, ply, omni, or beyond!

I’m really tired of following bi positivity blogs only to find out somewhere down the line that they’re part of an exclusionist group called the “battleaxe bis” (anti pansexual/polysexual/omnisexual/any multi-gender-attracted label that’s not ‘bi’), so I thought I’d try spreading a message of support and acceptance instead!

- FAQ -

what makes someone a ‘blade bisexual’?

all you have to do is acknowledge and uplift pan/ply/omni/etc. people!

are there any symbols we can use to signify we’re bi people who support other m-spec orientations?

yes! personally, I’ve been using the following:

sword (of any kind)

double/dual-wielded swords

purple heart

official flag (see above image)

I wholeheartedly support pan/ply/omni/etc. people. what can I do to join?

to show your support, put at least one of the previous symbols somewhere in your bio using emojis!

that’s everything I can think of! if you have any more questions, please don’t hesitate to ask! 🌈

weird kink but ok. maybe you can get off on the seat’s edge 🫡

DONT 👏 CALL 👏 YOURSELF 👏 BISEXUAL 👏 IF 👏 YOUVE 👏 NEVER 👏 FUCKED 👏 A 👏 BICYCLE 👏

biphobic wlw who insist bi women cant use butch or femme, while giving the reason that bi women dress or present themselves to get the attention of men as their justification, are repeating biphobic stereotypes - bi women are all hyper feminine, are less committed to women, etc - that have a very ironic history considering current discourse, its very strange.

like, in the 90s and further back, it was assumed that femmes were bisexual and butches were lesbians (keep in mind, i am using modern terms here, ‘bisexual’ was not in common use as a sexual identity in the 50s as bisexuality was deemed an impossibility by the medical establishment at the time. bisexuals were seen as switching between the straight world and the gay world). nowadays, thanks to some biphobes who cant read their own history, a lot of ppl think bi women arent allowed to id as femme or butch at all. but, although the word ‘bisexual’ has been erased, bi women’s participation in butch femme bar culture is obvious in the similarities between femme stereoypes and bi women’s stereotypes.

femmes were seen as ‘less committed to the life’, they were distrusted bc they could pass as heterosexual, femmes were assumed to take the passive role, they often struggled to be considered ‘true’ lesbians, and were thought to not truly be interested in other women. bi women on the other hand, will inevitably end up with men, they have straight passing priviledge, are stereotyped as submissive, have their attraction to women dismissed as a phase, and are just straight girls who hook up with other women to get the attention of men.

spot the difference lol. the reason both sets of stereotypes are so similar is bc femmes (while not always bisexual just like butches arent always lesbians), were assumed to be bisexual to the point where a great number of negative attitudes towards femmes at the time are probably due to biphobia, and modern attitudes towards femmes still reflect this history even if bi women themselves are currently being pushed out of iding as butch or femme. considering this, its ironic to see these same biphobic attitudes being repeated as the apparent reason why bi women cant use the terms at all now.

it makes me wonder how much of the misguided effort to push bi women out of these identities was done to have femme become a legitimate lesbian identity with the same complexities as butch. if femme lacks complexity its due to biphobic stereotypes associated with the identity. therefore the solution becomes to state; “bi women are gender conforming and therefore cant be butch or femme, because obviously they cant understand the complexities of either identity and any bi woman who ids as femme must mistakenly view butches as men lite with no real understanding of how femme is a subversion of femininity that deliberately rejects men.” the same biphobic sentiments that discredited femmes before are now used to bolster the identity for some by saying there is a wrong way and right way to be femme (and butch by proximity), then, pushing the ones doing femme wrong out of the community.

but if thats the solution it doesnt solve the underlying problems of biphobia (and misogyny lets be honest here), which has a negative effect on all wlw not just bi women. not to mention basing an identity on a rejection of men alone isnt a stable identity itself bc it means you always have to outwardly perform that action of rejecting men over loving women to be seen as correct in that identity, all wlw will be under scrutiny for their identities until the actual problem of biphobia gets solved.

Infographic about how many multisexual/mspec ppl are technically bi and can consider themselves as bi also if they want or just use other terms if they want.

Based on the original from this post, which is about how gnc women can still be women and don't have to id as nonbinary just bc they are gnc. I posted this in a reblog to that post, but felt it deserves its own post as well.

To be clear, I get why you may not want to call yourself bisexual even if it technically fits. I'm bisexual, too, but I've felt like that plenty of times in the past several years. Using only other terms for your sexuality is fine as well, or you can call yourself bi and other terms (e.g. bi and pansexual).

oops, i meant to also include 🩷🤍🌸🤍🩷 as an alternate version for sapphic but that's okay!

it's been almost a week since i had the idea but now that i can finally send asks again, i wanna propose something like "🩵🌙💜" as the emoji combo for the bi4bi flag, like how everyone else does 🩷💜💙 for regular bi, and 🩷🤍🩷 for sapphic, and 🧡🤍🩷 or even ❤️🧡🤍🩷💜 for lesbian, etc.

YESSS

I love it. It’s a great way of simplifying the flag down to three emojis.

bi4bi flag emojis 🩵🌙💜 sooo pretty
