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
