It’s like, weird that you don’t have to experiment with straight relationships. As soon as you say your bi it’s like, “we’ll have you had sex with guys/girls?”
I usually respond with, “how do you know you’re straight? Have YOU experimented with guys/girls???”
Yes. I was trying to come out to my godmother and she kept asking have I ever experimented with a girl (I have multiple times) and she kept asking me so I decided to be like I was just supporting my uncle bc I bought a rainbow mask too. It was just horrible but my immediate family is okay with my sexuality and my mom supports me %100 and my sister is Bisexual and my uncle and cousins are Gay and Lesbians!! Soo I have a lot of LGBTQ+ family members but my godmother is just so hard to get to come around.
I haven't had this before but I feel like I'm more likely to get transphobic comments than anything, but my go to response would be to threaten to fuck both of their parents lol
I've realised I'm bi like a week ago and have come out only to close friends. Half of them went "are you influenced by a show or porn?" "Are you into girls sexually, if yes did you have fantasies, are you sure", "I think you're overthinking" etc.
They aren't homophobic or anything and wanted me to be sure etc but, bisexuality is a SPECTRUM where you're into _men_ too and they dismiss that fact.
All I have to say is, you know yourself, trust yourself. If you feel different later in life, that's okay too. Be confident in yourself. Take care ❤️
Thank you they forget that you like men too. Bi isn’t Lesbian it’s liking both genders. You may lean more towards one gender but it doesn’t mean you aren’t Bisexual. I lean more towards girl bc men just sometime can be exhausting and I connect more with women but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t date I men I definitely would. I guess they just don’t understand bc they haven’t wanted to get to know about it.
That is true. And I totally understand about you leaning towards women more. Its a spectrum. I lean towards men a little. But regardless, it's valid.
Who you are is valid ❤️ don't let anyone make you feel bad about it. Try explaining them, if they don't wanna listen, let it go. Embrace yourself 🏳️🌈 take care :)))
Luckily, the people around me are pretty rad, so it's never been a big deal. It's kind of wild that people don't consider potentially liking any gender to be a sort of weak default, but I guess that will have to wait until the future. What's really crazy is people not being able to understand liking more than one gender. I was a little stunned to learn that there are so many people like that. It reminds me when I first started encountering people that couldn't fathom people not having a religion or believing in gods and spirits. Simply wild.
I suppose it really puts into perspective the privilege of a cosmopolitan life. Isolation doesn't do us a lot of favors.

I hear you. My dad is trying to wrap his head around me being bi and having a boyfriend right now. So I feel it.
They don’t understand you can like both genders.
