Can U Make Barbie A Bi Butch?? Im Tryna See Sum

Controversial take (that shouldn't be so controversial)

OK, this applies to average people/normies, celebs and sometimes fictional characters alike (I debate these latter ones in a different manner). You know, sometimes I suspect someone is bi, but if I find out they are/identify as gay (or even straight, but this is less frequent), I just say "Oops, OK," shrug and move on. If it's someone I like, I don't stop liking them. But when someone shows queerness and I -and others- suspect them as bisexual (or multiple gender attracted), some people get angry, offended even. They just read "heterosexual" when multiple genders attraction also include queerness; homosexual (and scoliosexual) attractions; the possibility of preference for similar genders/same sex and/or the other possibility of ending up in the queer pairing you can feel represented by. It's as if some people feel threatened or discredited by someone identifying as bi/pan/queer; or use no labels but acknowledge or at least seemingly show attractions to different genders. As a bi woman, I have had past relationships with women and I feel happy when another woman in a same-gender relationship identifies as Multiple-gender attracted. That might be why it bothers me when people who insist these women are "gay all along and lying" get mad at me for the mere pointing out at them talking about their bisexuality. And as a normie example, I have a friend who after a lifetime of dating men she ended up marrying a woman and for her, while comphet affected her in the way it affects all women, it never affected her in the way it affects lesbians. Her attractions and love for these men were genuine to her.

Also, it seems that nowadays some people in Social Media seem to get a pass to men who had girlfriends or casual sex with women as long as they identify or are perceived as gay. Granted, some gay identified men do that for a variety of reasons, but how about those who make obvious their attraction to women as well as men, and acknowledge attractions? I have also come to the conclusion that how you identify your sexuality might be a personal thing. I know people who identify as gay because they are not attracted to all genders equally; or they base it on who they prefer to have romantic relationships with. And there are people in these same situations who identify as bi/pan/queer... And that seems to offend those who identify as gay. Maybe take a closer look and see what their reasons are? Same with bisexuals being offended at someone who identify as pansexual. Or viceversa. Maybe there are particular reasons for each to identify the way they do? Sometimes I admit I struggle with that, or with Multiple gender attracted people who choose not to label themselves, but I don't let that bother me. I'd rather live and let live and listen to individual experiences. Anyways... I am just pondering as I go.

Happy pride to Korrasami 🩷💜💙

the bisexual pride flag was unvelied for the first time on december 5, 1998

the pink represents same gender attraction

the blue the attraction to different genders

purple, the resulting overlap of the two color, represent bisexuality and its uniqueness and entirety

bisexual people can have overlap experiences and history with other communities but we are also a separate and unique sexuality and identity, we are not “half straight and half gay” and we shouldn’t be perceived or treated as such. just like we see purple as its own color.

it was designed by michael page who took inspiration from the “bi triangles” also called “biangles”, created by liz nania in the 1985

it was important for her emphasizing both bi visibility and its existence outside of binary AND how we have always belonged in the queer community

original thread source

𐙚 ﹐dyke (reclaiming)

a slur that's used to target sapphics, especially ones that are butch, masc, and/or androgynous (not exclusive though)

flag meaning ꒱

dark brown represents black and brown sapphics, as they've historically been the backbone of our community and are so extensively targeted yet so underrepresented

purple represents butches and studs, and general sapphic masculinity and androgyny

pink(1) represents unapologetic queer love for women which may include nonbinary genders

pink(2) represents transgender and nonbinary dykes

orange represents gender nonconformity

im reclaiming the labrys (double-sided axe) as a symbol of empowerment and strength within ALL sapphics regardless of status (ex. bisexual, trans, nonbinady, pansexual, etc.) the labrys flag was adopted by violent queerphobic/misogynistic terfs. im reclaiming it from that hatred and using it as a symbol of sapphic strength and empowerment. i also added the sapphic flower symbol into the axe to emphasize sapphism.

my flag design + symbol ꒱

THANK GOD FOR BI+ WOMEN

“uwu I’m not bi I’m just a person who likes all genders :3 I don’t like labels :3” well I DO! Label me as bisexual! Call me bisexual! I am a bisexual woman! I like all genders because I’m bisexual! I sit bisexually! I dress bisexually! I talk bisexually! Bisexual bisexual bisexual it’s NOT A DIRTY WORD! And mind you, it’s not even a label, it’s a sexual/romantic orientation and identity. What if I was like “please don’t call this an arm :3 it’s not an arm, I don’t like labeling my body! It’s just an appendage from my shoulder uwu!” like I cannot control or change being bisexual it wasn’t a choice I was just born like this 💖💜💙

i was gonna go with a poison ivy icon but i like the look of this layout (+ character pose) better tbh

sorry, and i mean this lightheartedly, but the article title is so fucking funny out of context bc of the wording of “use” instead of “reclaim”

use this reaction image when ur bi bestie starts making jokes and it makes u biphobic 🫵🤨 /j

Bi Dykes have my whole heart + check out this amazing article I read explaining bi sapphic’s (aka selenic’s) reclamation of the slur dyke!

a snippet from the article I adore :3

We have a language philosophy who focuses on slur reclamation on our side. Twitter biphobes who insist selenics can’t reclaim dyke have like no research on their side <3

oh you totally should’ve mentioned that, it’s cool that we both thought of it then!

Hecatic flag 💜💜🤍💜💜

Hecatic (dervived from the Greek goddess Hecate) means when you’re bisexual + sapphic, I’ve seen many bi sapphic combination flags and just wanted to make my own :) Hecatic is all bisexual sapphics regardless if they have a specific preference or not, and regardless of relationship status (or lack of) <3

I wanted to make it pink and purple to showcase bisexuality and sapphicism :3 and the flower in the centre is a moonflower! It felt fitting with moons being a bi symbol and a flower on the sapphic flag!
