| 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 | ||||
