Sorry if this is the wrong comm, but I had to get this off my chest. I am so sick and tired of dealing with bi-erasure. I am a bisexual man who is I'd say 90% attracted to women and 10% attracted to men. Best I can explain it, I am mostly attracted to women and occasionally attracted to a man. It really is that simple, but for a lot of people I might as well be explaining calculus. I understand if most straight people can't fathom it, after all they are straight. But what really irks me is when other LGBT people erase it, telling me I am "in the closet" or whatever. It makes me so damn angry because I am not in the closet, I am open about my bisexuality, yet no one believes it. I have only dated women, but everyone in my life off and online including my gf who herself is LGBTQ+ thinks I am gay. I'm so sick of it I think I'll either just tell people I am straight or become gay.

    Yeah, it's also funny because when people aren't just like "You're probably just confused" there's usually at least a "Oh, you mean you want to fuck everybody?" In there too

    Look, yes, I've got a strong sex drive and I find a wide variety of things attractive, but I'm not some sort of sex-craved maniac

      “You’re probably just confused”

      I HATE this one. Im not confused, I know I find sexy women hot and sexy men hot. No confusion there.

      “Oh, you mean you want to fuck everybody?” In there too

      Honestly, as dumb as this is I think this is less wrong than saying I am gay lmao
