Attention conference coordinators: Unless your stated theme is “White people are the arbiters of what constitutes knowledge & expertise” there is absolutely no reason to have that many white presenters. None. NONE.  And the few POC presenters need to be presenting on something other than racism. I want all healing conferences to literally “flip the script”. Most of the presenters should be other than cismen, and most of the presenters should be POC.  If your lineup isn’t like this, it tells me you do not take the dismantling of White Supremacy seriously & therefore the l ..read more

“ I have met hundreds of bisexuals and when the question of being out as bi+ on the gay scene comes up, everyone agrees: being denied a voice is bad enough but being denied our existence is appalling. If you don’t like Mozart, it doesn’t mean some other people are lying when they say they really do. Some people really like aubergines, some people really enjoyed cross-country running at school - some people really do enjoy the things you don’t. Some people really are bisexual. The definition is easy, it’s the prejudice that’s hard. ” - Marcus Morgan, a co-ordinator of The Bisexual Index, a UK ..read more

miles-thebi: If you define bisexuality as “an attraction to men and women”, then define pansexuality a “an attraction to men, women, and transgender individuals”, you are using transphobia to support a biphobic idea of bisexuality. Simple as that. The transphobia should be obvious; making the distinction between men, women, and transgender individuals invalidates trans men and trans women as ACTUAL men and women. It also places all transgender individuals in this “other” category. Not man, not women, no matter how they identify their gender. Trans women are actual women, not an “other” kind o ..read more

koricomics: A little sketch comic about how bisexuality is totally cool and good and not bad. The format is cliché!  I know.  But it makes it easy to talk about things I want to talk about.  Thanks for reading! (I shouldn’t have to say this, but since a lot of people wanted to educate me on twitter: The words listed in panel seven [yes even in the parentheticals!] are just examples of how often acceptable language around gender and sexuality changes.  They are not lists of synonymous words, and many of them are now considered unacceptable.  That’s why they’re ..read more

autismserenity: [image description: an extreme close-up of light blue forget-me-not flowers against a blurry blue background. white art deco letters in all caps say “monosexuality is a heterosexist idea used to oppress gay people and erase bisexuality from history and society”]  i just  i just got inspired by the 1990 Bisexual Manifesto   like what if they were right? what if the concept of monosexism rests on the insistence that there ARE two and only two genders, two and only two sexes, two and only two gender roles, to pair up in the first place? that makes sense ..read more

bisexual-community: miles-thebi: Tips to Be Queer Enough to Deserve to go to Pride Often, there is a pressure in LGBTQIAP+ spaces to fit into a “queer” mold. While many G&L individuals don’t experiences this pressure, those with the ability to be attracted to a gender other than their own do. This pressure leads a lot of bisexual, pansexual,  and asexual people feeling like they don’t belong in Pride events, especially with their different-gender partner by their side. When we… View On WordPress Q: How to be “Queer Enough” to “Deserve” to go to Pride? A: Be Queer! and a ..read more

bisexual-community: [New York City USA]: This year for the 1st time the annual NYC LGBT Pride March is being televised like all the other big parades held on NYC’s Fifth Avenue.

lukeethornhill: As it’s Pride month and as I don’t think people realise the Pride flag has been adapted a lot over time (I’ve seen over 20 versions so far). I thought it would be nice to shine a light on a few of the alternative versions of the Pride flag.  As a community, we should be working together to battle inequality. POC don’t feel part of our community so if having the More Color More Pride flag helps even slightly then please don’t stand in anyone’s way. It’s not replacing the Gilbert flag, just like none of these flags have replaced it.  Also, just consider this commen ..read more
