BISEXUALITY VISIBILITY DAY REMINDERS: BISEXUALITY ISN'T JUST ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS BEHIND CLOSED DOORS IT IS ALSO ABOUT HOW SOMEONE RELATES TO GENDER ROLES AND EXPECTATIONS IT IS ABOUT FLUIDITY IN THEIR WORLD VIEW

IF YOU FIND YOURSELF WONDERING WHETHER YOU "COUNT" AS A BI WOMAN OR "REALLY" QUEER, ASK YOURSELF: WOULD A BI MAN BE HELD TO THAT HIGH OF A "STANDARD" TO "PROVE" HIS QUEERNESS? WOULD A MAN WHO LIKES MEN AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE WOMEN BE PAINTED AS "ACTUALLY STRAIGHT"? SPOILER: NO, PROBABLY NOT

IT'S ACTUALLY COMMON FOR BI WOMEN TO FEEL MISUNDERSTOOD, UNSUPPORTED MEN MAY FETISHIZE THEM OR BE CONFUSED BC GENDERED EXPECTATIONS AFFECT BI WOMEN DIFFERENTLY THAN STRAIGHT WOMEN STRAIGHT WOMEN MIGHT FIND BI WOMEN UNRELATABLE LESBIANS CAN HAVE INTERNALIZED BIPHOBIA (VIEWING BI WOMEN AS TRAITORS)

A BISEXUAL PERSON IS NOT HALF A GAY PERSON AND HALF A STRAIGHT PERSON BISEXUALITY IS ITS OWN THING WITH ITS OWN COMMON SET OF CHALLENGES A BI WOMAN WHO RESONATES WITH TRANS MEN, BI MEN, AND NONBINARY PEOPLE ISN'T "LESS QUEER" THAN A LESBIAN IT'S JUST A DIFFERENT KIND OF QUEERNESS, AND THAT'S FINE
