Reminder that libido and sexual attraction are separate things.
Libido and sex drive refers to how much and how often your body wants sexual release. Sexual attraction is wanting to have sex with and/or being aroused by a specific person. You can have a libido and still be asexual. In fact a lot of asexuals do.

Fuck policing the gender expression and presentation of LGBT+ people—of all gender identities.
Fuck telling aromantic and asexual people that they “don’t belong” in the LGBT+ community.
Fuck judging trans* individuals by how well they “pass” (god can we PLEASE kill this awful concept?) and making fun of those who don’t.
Fuck shaming LGBT+ people who prefer ethically non-monogamous relationships, or who don’t have any interest in relationships.
Fuck covering up for abusive and predatory members of the LGBT+ community out of fear of “making all of us look bad.”
Fuck silencing LGBT+ POC who try to speak out about racism, disabled LGBT+ folks who try to speak out about ableism, LGBT+ Jews who try to speak out about antisemitism, etc.
Fuck policing the relationship patterns of bisexual and pansexual individuals.
Fuck ignoring or invalidating people who come out later in life.
Fuck the gaslighting of bisexual- and pansexual-identifying people. “You could just be going through a phase.” “Ugh, just pick a side already, will you?” “You’re just lying for attention.” “You’re just gay and having trouble coming out.” FUCK. THAT. NOISE.
Fuck pretending that abusive relationships are a cis-het exclusive issue and silencing abuse victims who were abused in same-sex relationships.
Fuck shaming LGBT+ individuals (particularly trans* and nonbinary individuals) who are or have been sex workers.
Fuck criticizing people who self-identify as “queer” or telling them that they’re oppressing themselves.
Fuck mistreating LGBT+ people with HIV/AIDS or any STD.
Fuck any and all forms of telling people that there’s a right and a wrong way to be LGBT+, and that those who don’t fit that narrative of “being the right kind of LGBT+ person” don’t deserve our solidarity.

‘Now, it´s my time to protect you’
Poly (sexual/romantic, not amorous)

It’s a beautiful thing, you’re a beautiful person, and you deserve to love who you are
• my ex-girlfriend would constantly say that I would eventually settle down and pick a side
• When I broke up with my boyfriend, my mum said ‘Well at least we know you’re not bi now’
• My ex-best friend said that pan/bisexuals are just straight people who want attention or people who haven’t decided yet
• Another ex-friend could not comprehend why I wouldn’t have a sexual relationship with more than one person, since that’s the 'point’ of bisexuality
I think a lot of people assume that biphobia comes from random religious strangers in public/online or ignorant heterosexuals. I’m lucky- I’ve never faced physical or serious verbal abuse. Personally, I have only experienced biphobia from the people who are supposed to accept and support me which hurts so much more than if it was just a random extremist.
quick reminder that he/him bi women and she/her bi men are always welcome and appreciated here and anyone who isn’t dedicated to protecting the gnc members of our community can see themselves out.
im feeling very bi at the moment so here’s a fun reminder that any time i love a woman, i am still bi, any time i love a man, i am still bi, any time i love a nonbinary person, a genderfluid person, an agender person – anytime i love anyone, i am still 100% undeniably bi. this is not up for debate.
edit: discourse blogs and panphobes do not interact
This post is a shoutout to all my bisexual boys and bisexuals enbys. Y’all are valid as fuck and I’m sorry society pretends you don’t exist
