Oh my fucking god stop. I don’t care if bi people in straight passing relationships have a privilege. That is independent of their identity and is dependent on the system we live in. Don’t be mad at bi people for having privilege, blame the system!!
just a reminder that being in a straight-passing relationship doesn’t make you straight! - a bi woman with a bf :)

it's not even privilege it's just a situation where they're not outing themselves. It’s like saying single lesbians have privilege over coupled lesbians, or that aroace people have privilege over everyone else. we're all queer and bigots will take every opportunity to ignore or discriminate be of our sexuality.

in your analogy, white people would be straight and bisexuals would be a POC group. we’re all discriminated against so dying on this hill during pride month instead of celebrating is dumb as hell.

I think it’s also nuts to require people to experience a certain amount of homophobia to be seen as “valid” no one should have to deal with any homophobia and holding that as the standard for queerness is just the new version of oh poor me look at my struggle!

The point is bisexual people weren’t biological born with privilege. The artificially-constructed heteronormative system gave them a specific privilege. That’s not fair to Bi people for you to put a target on them just because they were born with a particular sexuality. Again, it’s literally not their fault!!! BE MAD AT THE SYSTEM!!

Thisss!!!! This self-serving one-upping and competition for who has been more discriminated against is still homophobia!!! It’s getting to a point where a lot of queer people feed off of homophobia to gatekeep other people’s place in an already marginalized community!!! You worded it in a very good way. NOBODY should have to deal with it.

Black people were also not biologically born without privilege. That is also an artificially constructed system. We are mad at the system, AND it’s still important for people with privilege to acknowledge that they have privilege.

We literally do acknowledge it. What do you want us to do bow down to you but I’m sorry I’m not gonna bow down to people when they’re calling us sluts or serial cheaters. The queer community has bigger things to worry about from this stupid in fighting like the fact that trans people are being murdered in the streets and that our rights are being eroded away. As well as the rampant racism that runs through some parts of the community.

I am bi. I do not want you to bow down to me 😭 I never called us sluts or serial cheaters. There are multiple people in this group who have gotten defensive and denied having privilege (and received heavy support for it). That is all. Neither I nor 3 have insulted bi people or said any of what OP and 5 seem to think we have. We’re just saying that acknowledging intersectionality and privilege is important

I’m literally also trying to point out that we need intersectionality and I wasn’t saying that you were the one who was saying this, but they are a whole bunch of people who are. But also, when we ask what the privilege is, we’re met with people upset with us for not knowing most of us are trying to understand or at least I am.

That is generally understood when we’re talking about intersectionality and privilege. Nobody is blaming us for having privilege, and having privilege isn’t a bad thing.

You asked if I want bi people to bow to me, and in the same sentence said that you’re not going to bow down to people when they're calling us sluts or serial cheaters. Having bigger problems in the world does not make this argument less valid. That’s a fallacy.

Seems like you’ve been commenting on all the posts about bi people. If that’s true, maybe contemplate why you’re spending so much energy trying to drag down a subset of the queer community. That’s a lot of time and effort to spend on something, so it seems like there’s some underlying reason.

What the FUCK is your problem with bi people?? They’re just trying to live their life the same as you and bisexual people have literally never said anything about anyone else’s relationship. Heterosexual people have always judged homosexual people and homosexual people have always judged bisexual people, but bisexual people have never judged either. Just because you’re queer doesn’t mean you aren’t a bigot.
