Calling everything biphobic waters down the meaning of biphobia. A lesbian dating another lesbian isn’t biphobia. This was prompted bc someone said les4les is always biphobic

It’s fine to have preferences, as a bi woman I prefer being with other bi people because we share experiences. Just like with les4les, T4T, or whatever other dynamic. However, when someone starts to exclude certain people solely because of stereotypes or other discriminatory thinking, it becomes a problem

I agree. I have a strong preference for being les4les. I think there is some nuance that you are missing bc i primarily became les4les out of safety reasons. I used to date bi women and would date another bi woman if I moved to a different area where the queer scene is different than where I currently live. A lot of the bi women in my area like to hide their boyfriends and go on dates with lesbians and surprise the lesbian with the boyfriend

This has resulted in myself and my friends experiencing corrective rape. None of us really date the bi women in our area anymore because it was so traumatic and we don’t want to go through that again. If I moved to a different area I would be open to dating bi women again, it’s just the culture in my area is so bad

Jesus that is terrible :( I’m so sorry hon. That’s definitely a stereotype I struggle with as someone who’s also in an open relationship. We’re completely transparent about our situation and intentions, but people like that absolutely ruin it for those who respect all their partners. I’m fortunate enough that I never encountered that when I was single and on apps, but I definitely get being used as a sexual fantasy. It’s terrible

It’s okay, yeah it’s just creepy. The stereotypes suck but the best way to fight them is to be open and transparent like you said. Honest is the best policy lol
