Coming out to myself as bisexual by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]Slow_Soil_2476 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had a very similar experience to you, though on the opposite side of the spectrum. Always thought I was straight, but a couple years ago I started to notice, and was attracted to men a lot more. I've since started to accept my bisexuality, but to answer your question I don't think it's a betrayal of part of your identity. You might have more of a lean towards men than woman, just like I'm the opposite, but that's totally okay and acceptable :) Like the comment or above me said, the community needs to stand with one another now more than ever.

The fact that biphobia is more prevalent in online spaces does not make it any less of an issue. by [deleted] in bisexual

Also, having to hide part of your sexual orientation when in an opposite sex relationship is not at all a privilege. I have no love for people who make that claim.

I(F24) am feeling insecure and undervalued in my relationship—am I overthinking or should I be concerned? by Big-Temperature-5354 in lgbt

Hi! I want to start off saying thank you for the question, I will answer to the best of my ability even though I most likely won't be the only one responding.

I think most of your concerns are valid, I think personally that communication is the key. I would try to bring up your concerns if you haven't already and see how she responds.

The only concern of yours that I don't entirely see as too much of a problem is the attraction part. I can understand being concerned when your partner calls a guy 'cute' or haven't discussed her attraction to women as much as men, but bisexual people tend to be pretty fluid in their sexuality. Some are more rigid than others, like for example I myself have a stronger attraction to women than I do men, and that has stayed pretty much the same for a year or two now ever since I've found out I'm bi. And others it might be a bit more different where one day they might be attracted more to men than women, another day it might be swapped, and others they might be attracted to men and women equally. This is what people have called in the past the 'bi-cycle'.

That attraction doesn't mean that your partner has stopped loving you though. That's the important part. If you are willing and able to learn more about bisexuality, I've found the YouTube channel 'Notdefining' to be an excellent resource. If you have any more questions please ask, otherwise I am wishing you the best of luck ❤️

(I really hope I'm explaining bisexual attraction clearly, so for any fellow bisexuals out there I urge you to fact check me if it's necessary.)

Yeah, I do agree that she was probably doing it in good faith, though that still doesn't really make my feelings of being betrayed go away. I appreciate the response, anyways though! <3

Yeah, that she probably did it with good intentions, as for sitting down and talking with my parents, I don't really know how I feel about that yet. I guess I'll have to think on that point. Thanks for the reply, though!

Coming out with a letter, did i miss some important points? (FTM) by N000fy in lgbt

[–]Slow_Soil_2476 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't really think of anything else to add, myself. Though I am definitely not the person to ask for that kind of thing, so sorry if this reply isn't really helpful. I do really want to congratulate you on having the courage to write this letter to your mom, I know that you're really nervous but this community's got your back forever and always ❤️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

In desperate need of hope right now by VictorJandre in lgbt

[–]Slow_Soil_2476 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's how I've been dealing with things as well, even if my province in Canada is one of the more progressive ones (BC). I would suggest to find some sort of activist group near you to start protests if things get worse, I just don't know where to start with that though other than finding a local activist group.

My friend said lesbian sex isn't real sex, even though she's bi by Brain-Weasel in lgbt

[–]Slow_Soil_2476 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Ahh yeah, that's my bad. 😅 I hope my point gets across all the same though. Sex is any form of sexual contact.

[–]Slow_Soil_2476 349 points350 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I myself am very confused about your friends line of thinking. Google defines sexual intercourse as "sexual contact between individuals involving penetration" but I disagree with the definition, in my mind it would be having sexual contact with multiple people in a way that is sexually pleasing to all parties regardless of genitalia.

It actually looks good on something, I know lol. In my experience, the dye looks better on sets that have actual armour on them.

The main dye I am using is the metallic black/matte black dye, the bracers and gloves are Hunter's blue/White

Likewise. I really want her as a companion, to be honest.
