+or, bi erasure; the questioning or denial of the existence or legitimacy of [Bisexuality](/definitions/bisexual); the shortened form of "bisexual erasure"
+
+## Examples
+
+- Telling a bi person that they're going through a phase or are confused
+- Falsely connoting being bi with a certain sexual status or gender—bi people can be asexual, monogamous, polygamous and/or cis or trans, non-binary, agender, etc. Being bi-sexual does not necessitate other characteristics of identity
+- Questioning our "queerness" because of our current partner (when a bi woman is with a man, for one example)
+- Using phrases like "Bi now, gay later"
+- Saying bisexuality isn't real
+- Excluding us from LGBTQ+ conversations
+
+## Impact
+
+"Bi+ people experience discrimination from both heterosexual and sexual minority communities, related to repeatedly needing to “come out” as bi+.
+
+This double discrimination can lead to isolation and loneliness, which can be harmful for mental health." — Sabra Katz-Wise
