So here’s a fucked up thing: bi erasure is so real that trotting out one’s trauma is sometimes the only way people believe you. Esp. if you’re in a long term monogamous relationship as two cis ppl of opposite genders.
It’s also something so rampant and internalized that it took me years to be able to claim pride as something that is for me, too.
Also today so many folks are open about their poly relationships. So there is a very real vibe that I’ve you’re not actively participating in the full spectrum of your sexual attraction that it doesn’t count.
Which actually brings me to the day I came out and was told that that means promiscuity (went downhill from there).
It’s so lovely that there are now a million ways to describe our experiences and attractions. My hope is that all folks can find acceptance. And not need to provide a paper trail soaked in the blood of their past to show they belong to a club.
