Coming out as bi to an incredibly intolerant and unwelcoming queer community is absolutely devastating. You spend all this time coming to terms with your identity, only to then be dismissed by your own community, to face misogyny and biphobia, to experience exclusionary tactics

Just to clarify to everyone giving me advice: I've been out for a very long time as bi, ace, and non-binary, and have found my loving community. This tweet is directed at the biphobia within the community which is discouraging for newly out bi people to experience

If you're willing to give me advice but not willing to call out the biphobia you see which is vitriolic and devastating, then you are part of the problem

Update: I've tried to keep on top of the replies which are invalidating, exclusionary, or inflammatory (towards bi, pan, trans, ace, aro people) by hiding them so people don't immediately see them but I didn't expect this to blow up this much, so I apologise if I've missed any
