Bi Bi Bi

So I'm gonna start going a bit more in-depth. I'm gonna start making chapters for individual sexualities and genders. I'm gonna start with the one I'm most familiar with: being bi.

Being bi doesn't necessarily mean that you are bisexual. Being bi can also cover the term biromantic. If you don't know which one you are, don't worry. Hopefully, this chapter can help you figure out. I'm going to cover the differences and similarities between the two terms.

You can define bisexuality in many different ways so the best way to explain it would be through examples. Let's say you see a guy and a girl in the same room as you. Both of them are your type but you still don't know whether you're bisexual or biromantic. Look at them. Are you most likely to think "Man I wanna bang them." or are you more likely to think "I really wanna get with them." This could easily pinpoint which one you are. If you think the first one, you're most likely bisexual. If you chose the second, you're more likely to be biromantic. Of course, this may not be that helpful if you couldn't decide.

How about this. Are you willing to have any sexual interactions with a man or woman without knowing them very well? This is a very good way to tell your sexuality. Ask yourself if you are willing to have a one night stand with someone. I still have trouble deciding this but it has been very helpful for me. I believe I'd rather get to know someone before having any sort of sexual interactions but it really depends on the person.

Now you may have come to terms with which "bi" you are but still be a bit confused. Let's say you've figured out that you are biromantic but you still feel a weird connection to... guys (just an example; also let's say you are a guy). You keep thinking to yourself, "Man, I wonder what he's like in the bedroom." (Another example; don't judge) Time to break it to ya buddy, you's gay. Or at least, partly gay. You're most likely biromantic homosexual.

Understand what I'm saying. Just because you're bi doesn't mean that you are just sexually/romantically attracted to guys and girls. You can be many things. Like me, I'm a biromantic lesbian.

Now for the next part of this chapter; stereotypes! Yep, the things that everyone hates and jokes around about. Being bi comes with a lot of stereotypes, unfortunately. So let's get started.

Bi's are just confused

What? What? What sense does that make? So you're telling me that people who like men AND women are just confused people who haven't decided. Yeah, right. This is literally just like when you're at the store and you can't decide between two shirts so you just get both. Like, come on. When you try and force a bi person to choose sides, that's like trying to pick between a shirt. You like them both so much that you don't want to leave one behind.

Bi's are greedy cheaters

Well, if that's the case, you better watch out for your girlfriend/boyfriend. Us bi's can be pretty romantic if we try hard enough. Better watch out. ;)

Bi's can't commit

You know how many married couples are bi? A lot. There are plenty of bisexual and biromantic people who are married and very committed to their partners.

Yeah, people can be pretty hard-headed. They just need to learn a few things.

Remember that you are a beautiful being and you deserve the best. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise or try to bring you down.
