A bi question
I only realized this a few years ago but why do some people that are non and surprisingly also part of LGBTQ+ hate bisexuals? I'm genuinely confused because why chose which gender you are attracted to if you can have both? (more people for you that's a win win for me) I don't hear people hating on pansexuals but I keep seeing things like 'you can't be a bisexual, you're either straight or gay.' I heard somewhere that they hate them bc bi's believe that there's only 2 genders (how the heck did they conclude that?)
I remember when DC canonically change Tim Drake's (3rd Robin) sexuality as bisexual and they change his girlfriend with a boy and it made me '???' you know you didn't have to change his girlfriend to a guy for people to know he's bi or part of the lgbtq+. That also applies in shipping fandoms like 'he's not bi because she/he's dating the opposite gender. That means he's straight!' It's ok to have your hc but some people do be hating on people having a hc/oc that the character is bi but dates the opposite gender. I'm not really a person who engages deeply in communities/fandoms but I do see some of them sometimes. I'm curious why and sorry if it sounds rude(?)
Biphobia is unfortunately very prevalent in online spaces (idk about irl spaces bec I live in an extremely homophobic country so don't come at me). I'm a lesbian so I'm gonna talk relating to that. Alot of lesbians perpetuate harmful stereotypes that existed since forever about bi people (the "all bisexuals are cheaters" thing being the most common...... reply
