This is bi-erasure
bisexuals erasing the competition
The Sexuality Olympics™
“Bi - Bi!”
EXPONENTIAL GROWTH bi folks will be 300% of the population in ten years
Okay but unironically I can’t wait to see what the graph looks like when we get enough data about gen alpha. All the Gen A’s I know are queer or genderfluid or both, in as much as you can be at that young age. I have a 5 year old nephew who will look you in your eyes and say “I’m okay with he but I like they more”. They understand what they’re saying completely. This viewpoint is common among the single digit age group.
No wonder the chuds are panicking.
Hell yeah that’s awesome

Why is there mtg rules text as your username lmao. Tap, untap hexbear? Target hexbear gains hexproof and indestructible until end of turn? Return target hexbear to it’s owners hand? Each Lemmy user sacrifices a hexbear. Create 1312 2/2 hexbears with trample, haste, menace, vigilance, and double-strike.
I wonder what they think of the card “Bearscape”…
OMG yes. Bearscape Can’t believe I haven’t seen the secret lair. I think I’ll go and buy this one… It’s fantastic.
I fucking love science!
My theory is that a lot if not most people are born with the propensity to be bisexual (like at least a Kinsey 1), but their environment growing up makes most of them default to being straight. Like a developing child or teen is going to understand that straight is the norm and just subconsciously dismiss any consideration of being bi. Once they’ve fully developed without considering or exploring, that propensity fades away.
But since being LGBT is not only normal and common but kind of celebrated in Gen Z, a lot more kids and teens now are likely to really consider it and end up activating that propensity. I expect Gen Alpha numbers to be even higher.
To put it a little more simply:
At one point there was a debate of “nature vs nurture”. I think nature for most is bi, but nurture (their entire environment, not just parents) molds most into being straight.tbf I am quite biased considering I’m bi myself, so I can’t really understand why people wouldn’t like both. But the numbers are pointing to it.
I label myself as straight, but I agree with that theory.
Sexuality being a scale, I believe very few people are 100% straight or gay. That means that identifying as bi is for many a matter of societal context and expectations shaping one’s perception. Say you on occasion find someone whose gender is not your preferred one attractive: you could either dismiss it as “I’m just noticing they’re attractive, nothing more”, or consider you might be somewhat bi.
What I find most amusing (and in a way very sad too) are those bigots that claim homosexuality or bisexuality to be a choice because, as they say, “everyone finds people of the same sex attractive, but you have to resist the temptation”. Like, dude, you’re super gay, just accept and enjoy it.
I think some of this is also why some homophobes consider being gay to be a choice, cause they’re bi and it kinda is for bi people
Though the heart does want what it wants. Im first come first serve for whoever catches my attention
This was me as a teenager. I didn’t get why people wouldn’t just choose to be straight - I made that choice every day that I repressed my attraction towards men!
But now it’s like, “Wait holy shit there are people who are categorically not attracted to an entire sex?”. That’s way more wild to me than the idea that people would be attracted to people of the same sex. Imagine seeing a hot guy/gal (tastes accounted for) and just not being into that. Damn.
In my soc101 years ago our lesson on sexuality featured a number of studies showing that people act bisexual far more than they identity, for both straight and gay people. People will identity as straight on the survey, but than admit to multiple same sex partners lol.
Captain Jack Harkness (doctor who, multiple seasons starting with season 2-3 or so of the 2008 reboot) is the media embodiment of this hypothesis.
They spell out very clearly that the time he comes from, they don’t have hang ups over gender and sex, they just do whatever’s good. So he’s very very openly bisexual and a bit of a slut with lax boundaries, because why not? Do what’s good. But he’s still masculine and appealing and a great character all around.
He’s my role model.
That’s kinda why it took me so long to figure out I’m bi. Growing up I was told homosexuality was rare and bisexuality was not mentioned, I figured since I was a boy and I liked girls that I was straight and didn’t really examine it further for years. When I found out about bisexuality later I was jealous because it’s the best of both worlds, which in hindsight should have been a clue but I got there eventually
It was basically the same for me. Very late bi-bloomer due to adolescence in the incredibly homophobic 1990s. As you say, the word bisexuality was just not said in popular culture. I liked girls, therefore I was straight, right?
But the signs were there. How many 12-year-old boys have “Rocky Horror Picture Show” as their favourite movie? I wasn’t obsessing over Brad because I thought he was hot, I just admired him for becoming adventurous. I didn’t do everything I could to get out of gym classes for high school because I was afraid of going into a panic in a locker room full of cute boys not wearing much, I was just not interested in sports.
I was very good at rationalizations.
Well, better late than never! Covid taught me to not put things off. I’m making up for lost time now. Not in a slutty way, but definitely in a more adventurous way.
Lmao why did they photograph them like they’re some kind of evil villain team
I mean, that checks.
A New Sexual Identity Emerges
I wonder what the famously not-bi ancient Greeks and Romans would think about that statement.
if people think bisexuality is new it’s no wonder they thing “transgenderism” is a new phenomenon.
you WILL be attracted to multiple genders! 
I tired, but I’m only hard-wired to men! 
I’m just min/maxing my sexuality to get the most out of the RNG
When you’re good at the game, any build is a winner
This is legitimately inspiring advice.
Regardless of what drops out of their pants, you’re having a good time.
I know, right? What’s the fun in getting a birthday gift when you’re told what it is before you can unwrap it?
I’m a simple dude. I like masculine women and feminine men. And also feminine women. And sometimes masculine men.
A man of very specific tastes I see
LESBIANS OUTNUMBER GAY MEN LETS GO LESBIANS We gotta pump those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers.
I’m bisexual because it doubles my chances (of rejection)
I don’t know, I find it way easier to find a bi sub than a bi dom.
That’s because you’re not looking hard enough you miserable little worm
This bi switch is sneaking up on you, and you don’t even realize it
😏
For the bi switch, there are no friends - only targets.
This comrade gets it! Now, bend over… or bend me over if you want🥺
Or one, then the other
Fuck it. Let’s compromise and go with two people at the same time, one bending me over and the other bending over for me.
Truly me meeting in the middle with this very divisive issue 🧐
You centrist.
Yeah, I’m in the center of a dom and a sub. Now you’re getting it!
In space, there are no bottoms, and nobody to hear you scream.
Lmao this one really got me laughing
bi dom
But really, how could I be otherwise? There’s cute humans among every gender.
Well, they do get +10% damage against everyone.
Everyones just so cute
Dominate me, plz.
