unironically though there is no such thing as biphobia, when straight people are bigoted against bisexuals it's because they're kinda gay and not fully straight not because they're bi and when gay people shit on you you're not being fucking oppressed either
this tumblr tier "monosexual privilege" rhetoric is the worst
go "fall in love with souls" somewhere else

bisexuality is wonderful, but being smug about it like you're more enlightened and we're just closeminded is fucking insufferable

@dhfir that's true but ultimately dependent on our different personal schemas for what constitutes a phobia, i consider it to mean a systemic thing

@rizzo "asexuals are one of the most common victims of corrective rape" that's literally just sexism against women who don't want to have sex with you

@rizzo asexuality as a discrete orientation has been diluted to the point i don't think it's possible for society to oppress asexuals in meaningful fashion, with so many asexuals being gray or demi. no wonder asexuality is conflated with having a low libido.

@a_breakin_glass there are some particular antibi memes but they're almost entirely reflective of misogyny, like "bi women are sluts" "bi women are crazy"

@dhfir @lanodan dude that take is like "black people can't say they know that they aren't oppressing white people"

@lanodan @dhfir it's not like gays and bis are two totally separate groups oppressed differently. gay people experience what bi people experience in some of their relationships in all of their relationships. bi people are in "the community" because they are same sex attracted and for no other reason

@dhfir @lanodan bi people are in a position of advantage over gay people is my point.

@rizzo @dhfir @lanodan "this kind of language" is true though what happened to the woman in the anecdote is unfortunate. bi people aren't here cause they're freaky and kuhweer. they're here because of the struggle for the liberation of same sex attracted people. part of the problem with bis and aces in "the community" is for some od them being oppressed is a huge part of their identity and gay people telling them there is no systemic oppression against them is seen as saying they're bad. that's not what it means.

@rizzo @a_breakin_glass your focus on how gay people specifically purportedly oppress the bis is just validating my point

@a_breakin_glass @dhfir @rizzo @lanodan i think at its core homophobia is a fear of sex/gender nonconfomity, particularly of women not serving men and men "acting like women"

@rizzo @lanodan @dhfir anti bi sentiment exists but stuff like systemic biphobia often implies the existence of "monosexual privilege" which is just utter trash

@rizzo @dhfir @lanodan i don't think it's true that nonbinary people are more oppressed than trans people at all.

@rizzo @dhfir @lanodan i think being oppressed for loving the same sex is a bit more pressing than being teased for "not being queer enough"
only in the rich west can not being gay enough make someone feel oppressed

@a_breakin_glass @dhfir @rizzo @lanodan the in group oppression doesn't have the societal power backing it. feels shitty but there are no laws anyway in the world against being bisexual

@dhfir @a_breakin_glass @lanodan @rizzo literally the point of OP was that bi people are oppressed for same sex attraction not being bi

@dhfir @rizzo @lanodan you're literally saying the primary facet of biphobia is gay people being bad
