Bisexual

This is a community for bisexuals, their allies, friends, family, anyone curious about us or our community, or just people who want to hang out.

Bisexual means different things to different people, and I'm not going to tell you what it should mean to you. But one thing I will say is that being bisexual does NOT mean being trans-exclusionary. We love no matter what dingles, dongles, or dangles you do or do not have in your pants.

Of course, there are the basic rules. No hate speech, no brigading, no doxing, no homophobia, no transphobia, no sexism, no racism, no illegal material. Rules will be added as needed.

At the moment, we do not have a hard and fast rule over NSFW images or posts, but I will say that this is a community about bisexuality, not for porn. Please don't make me ban NSFW content altogether.

I'm fairly neutral but I don't like that along with the rest of the lgbt people seem to hate us

Yes. Statisticslly speaking, it means more hotties. And the opinions of bigots aren’t going to run my life.

I saw some stats from Norway where bi experienced more negativity than homo. I was surprised, but if LGBT people seem to hate you it makes a bit more sense. That's not nice.

Awesome.

As a trans person being and being around bisexual (or trans) people is both exciting and calming, because sexualities and gender (and dysphoria) do not really hinder much.

General queerphobia is much more prevalent and daunting than biphobia is for me. Sure, biphobia is awful, but biphobia seems more solvable to me than queerphobia by strangers, because fellow queers are often more possible to be reasoned with, while hot-headed blokes with a religiously queerphobic upbringing are just alarming and can really only be brought back by immense pressure from their peers (not me).
