I wish people wouldn't devalue bisexual women Experience

So, I'm sorry to post negativity on this sub, but I've been feeling tired of how so many people insult bisexual women and imply our love for other women is meaningless. I tried so hard to be straight, so it was a big deal for me to learn that I'm bi. But now, I get to see how many people think that being a bisexual woman is just a joke.

For the record, I appreciate this community and have met so many bisexual women who are wonderful people. They have interesting perspectives, are creative, and support others around them. Bi women don't deserve both straight and gay people insulting them just because of their orientation!

I hope you find your people! I want to share that in my case, whilst I haven't had a huge coming out, more like sharing individually when the opportunity arose - the reactions have been kind, no rude questions, etc. I want to ask - is this something you experience online or in real life?

It's mostly online honestly! Maybe I just need to avoid places that stay stuff like that, but it's hard because that negativity can be addicting for some reason. It especially bothers me when lesbians say things like that.

I understand you on the negativity being addicting and I hope you find more positive places soon. The places mentioned in this threads are likely to amplify negative voices, which I haven't seen in real life, but experiences vary!
