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.
gotta highlight the ones that infuriate me the most from what i’ve seen:
remaining ignorant about bi discourse
only speaking on biphobia when bi people use terms or speak in ways you don’t like
if you are unaware of bi discourse you are biphobic
if you are unaware of the major ways the media and certain prominent gay creators and activists are biphobic you are biphobic
biphobia isn’t just really overt stereotypes and hatred like “bis need to pick a side” ‘bisexuality isn’t real" “bi women are disgusting because they’ve slept with men” “i’d never date a bi person”
it’s also remaining silent about bi issues
remaining ignorant about bi discourse
remaining silent when biphobia happens
speaking in ways that indirectly erase bi people
speaking in ways that imply bi people are more privileged or powerful than gay people
remaining silent when bi erasure and biphobia happens in the media
only speaking on biphobia when bi people use terms or speak in ways you don’t like
speaking with authority on biphobia when you are not bi
denying the importance of bi spaces and bi community
remaining silent on the higher levels of substance abuse, unemployment, mental disability, abuse and sexual assault of bi people, esp bi women
ignoring the unique aspects of the bi experience
etc
if you have never blogged/reblogged about biphobia except to call out bi people you are biphobic
if you have never spoken about biphobia other than to critique bi people’s discourse you are biphobic
if you are unaware of bi discourse you are biphobic
if you think bi people’s experiences are not unique or important you are biphobic
if you are unaware of the major ways the media and certain prominent gay creators and activists are biphobic you are biphobic
if you ignore the ways in which gay people have shut bi people out of their communities and erased bi people and undermined bi solidarity you are biphobic
and even if you are multisexual and you do these things; it can be internalized: you still are biphobic
it’s not always about what you do, it’s also about what you don’t do
bi people have suffered and died due to biphobia in the gay community and you don’t care
that makes you biphobic
Just wanted to let you know febfem isn't just for terfs, I see a lot of ftm trans men that are febfems, it's not about being a cis woman just female. It's trans inclusive. Febfems can have boyfriends if they're trans men
febfem isn’t just for TERFs
it’s not about being a cis woman, just (biologically) female
febfems can have boyfriends if they’re trans men
you’re contradicting yourself, anon. nice try. if by “trans inclusive” you mean trans men but not trans women, then lol lmao. i’ve seen them try to give that false impression before. also i have lots of history with the label so if you’re attempting to fool me with the wrong information here in order to accept bigotry then it’s not gonna work.
personally, i think that if trans men want to identify themselves within feminine orientation labels (i.e. sapphic, lesbian, etc.), then that’s valid as long as it’s an individualistic decision and doesn’t represent or isn’t forced on the whole community. that’s not what y’all are doing, i fear! transphobes externally assign labels based on birth sex for transmascs, transfems, and nonbinary groups.
i’m curious, though — why did you send that ask on this blog, where febfem was never mentioned previously except for a recent reblog of someone else’s old post?
oh you totally should’ve mentioned that, it’s cool that we both thought of it then!
Hecatic flag 💜💜🤍💜💜
Hecatic (dervived from the Greek goddess Hecate) means when you’re bisexual + sapphic, I’ve seen many bi sapphic combination flags and just wanted to make my own :) Hecatic is all bisexual sapphics regardless if they have a specific preference or not, and regardless of relationship status (or lack of) <3
I wanted to make it pink and purple to showcase bisexuality and sapphicism :3 and the flower in the centre is a moonflower! It felt fitting with moons being a bi symbol and a flower on the sapphic flag!
Sapphic Feminist flag! Based off of my Bisexual Feminist Flag!
