Note: this is not simultaneously bisexual and het (bisexuals AREN'T het :), this term and flag is just reclaiming the insult “bihet” hurled at bi women and bi sapphic who are not “queer enough”. Flag made by @femmebis!
all in all though I'm very proud of bisexuals especially bi women for speaking out against biphobia and not allowing ourselves to be silenced these past several years, these spaces are obviously still pretty hostile sometimes but I think we've made a lot of progress and changed a lot of people's minds.

a flag for bi-cycle [pt: bi-cycle /end pt] for anon!
bi-cycle either refers to bi folks who 'cycle' through preferences and attraction changes within their bi experience and/or to the actual 'cycle' itself.
the flag is inspired by the bi flag, with both dark and light shades of all three colors to represent changes in attraction/preference!

I am tired of the “either lesbian or pan” notion about Yang. Like when some ppl stop being monosexist and realize that Yang being sapphic doesn’t immediately mean she’s lesbian, she could be bi, they go “oh, she’s pan then!!1!” Like this crowd finally saw the mutlisexual Yang hype and yet! still deny the idea of Bisexual Yang

anyone who recognizes this video will probably know who i am just by virtue of me posting it, but i don't care. this is my favorite bi character edit of all time and it never gets old!!!
it was also posted just before my birthday lmao
EDIT: don't worry if the post gives you a "this media could not be played" error message. i'm pretty sure it's an API thing. the video is still there, just go directly to the page instead of watching it here
