Okay, hi I’m tired of being quiet but the bi erasure I see from both LGBTQ people and straight people is infuriating and is the reason why I never officially came out so hello here I am a bisexual and I am valid

It’s not a phase, I’m not secretly gay, I’m not straight looking for attention or rebelling against my parents. I am simply attracted to both men and women and have been for as long as I can remember. I came out to some friends in high school but went back in the closet

...because of the amount of bi-erasure I was surrounded by. It was really invalidating and only recently I’ve been accepting my sexuality. Accepting that even though I’m engaged to a man does not change or invalidate my sexuality.

And what’s wild is I’ve never dated a woman. I definitely could have, but I was TOO SCARED of what other people would think and say so I never followed through. So in turn, having never dated a woman made me feel like I didn’t “qualify” as bisexual.

Idk these are the types of mental gymnastics we go thru to invalidate ourselves since a lot of other people want to

But I’m OVER IT and I’m bisexual. The end.

PS I know I stated “both men and women” but non-binary people are cute af too gender is a spectrum as is my love just FYI
