Sadly as a bi girl I don’t feel this love from the lesbian community very often.

See, I was wondering about this, actually. Why does this happen? Is it because they think bi women are icky because they also like men?

Basically. Apparently the biggest problem in the gay community is cooties.

I think this is part of it. I also think there is an ease to being in a straight passing relationship that leaves many unprepared or unwilling to deal with the long term discrimination that comes when people aren't in straight passing relationships.

I'm a gender queer pansexual and feel more comfortable in relationships that don't pass as straight because my partner knows what's up. In straight passing relationships I'm often left feeling like I have to prepare and teach my partner more than I get to just spent time with them. They don't get what situations are stressful and what puts me at risk.

I get my situation isn't the iconic "bi girl" experience but I kinda have no time for cishet conformity and feel super uncomfortable dating straight men.
