Sorry if this is the wrong comm, but I had to get this off my chest. I am so sick and tired of dealing with bi-erasure. I am a bisexual man who is I’d say 90% attracted to women and 10% attracted to men. Best I can explain it, I am mostly attracted to women and occasionally attracted to a man. It really is that simple, but for a lot of people I might as well be explaining calculus. I understand if most straight people can’t fathom it, after all they are straight. But what really irks me is when other LGBT people erase it, telling me I am “in the closet” or whatever. It makes me so damn angry because I am not in the closet, I am open about my bisexuality, yet no one believes it. I have only dated women, but everyone in my life off and online including my gf who herself is LGBTQ+ thinks I am gay. I’m so sick of it I think I’ll either just tell people I am straight or become gay.
I get this a lot, a lot of people assume I’m either gay or asexual because I never talk about sex. When I tell them I’m pan they just assume I’m gay and not at terms with it. I’m hella attracted to women, I just don’t talk about it so people assume I’m not. But then I’m also hella attracted to men and I don’t talk about that, and people assume I’m gay because of it
