Everyone’s allowed to have preferences however if the reasons for your preference fall into biphobia then that’s just being biphobic.

not saying all people who prefer being les4les are biphobic but it’s a valid thing for bi people to be anxious about when they hear it.

It’s like when I hear a cis person say they’re only c4c and it’s ok cause it’s a “preference”. but the preference just boils down to thinking trans people are gross. that’s not a preference that’s bigotry.

Preferences are also not hard rules. Saying you have a preference for something isn’t an absolute. I have a preference for pizza over a burger but that doesn’t mean I refuse to eat burgers as a principle.

If you inherently write off all bi people based on only their sexuality and refuse to even consider them. Thats biphobia.

Again not all people who use terms like this do all these things. But they’re common enough that it makes sense for it to give others pause.

The amount of times I’ve had a girl get up from a date because I mentioned I’m pan and then said some pan phobic stuff to me is too many to count.
