literally. also, as a lesbian, there are bisexual women who have experienced corrective rape (my wife, for example), so it’s really weird to pivot to discussing invalidation instead of specific forms of violence that many queer women experience.

Oh 100% there are bi women who experience corrective rape, this was said by a bi woman who has never been with a woman (like is too scared to go on dates with women). If she had even shared like another assault story I wouldn’t have said something bc sexual violence affects all queer women, and should be talked about. She went on a whole tangent about how white bi women dating men are the most oppressed in the lgbtq+ community and it was just a crazy moment where she showed her true colors

oh no fr i completely understand, it’s literally the worst when that happens and these people don’t even have the self-awareness to realize that they’re contributing to the invalidation and erasure of sexual violence toward other bi women (since clearly they don’t gaf about lesbians) by changing the subject and trivializing the oppression all queer women face. also adding in that she’s white as part of her “experience of oppression” is crazy 🤦‍♀️.

like these people are not about the lifestyle fr bc even if they *just* cared about bi people they /should/ be able to hold a conversation about actual manifestations of oppression (SA and IPV rates) and the intersection of queerphobia and racism… like the black bi women in my life are stereotyped and treated as hypersexual because they are black *and* bi.

Literally! Like I’m a white lesbian and the black bisexual women that I am friends with definitely without a doubt face more oppression than me. I always find it strange when other white people try to claim that they are oppressed based on their whiteness
