I'm bisexual and while I'm not being impacted in the same way as my lesbian sisters, I'm frustrated by the way they're being treated and by the fact that as same-sex attracted women the attraction we feel toward other women and their female bodies has somehow become taboo again. I'm attracted to both sexes, but I'm attracted to them as their respective sexes. The female body is one of the things I love about women. I'm sick of this being unspeakable, and I'm sick of gender conforming heterosexual people feeling entitled to tell me and other LGB people that we're bigoted or that we need to "educate ourselves" about trans people when we're the ones who exist in overlapping communities. I'm also frustrated with my own people, bisexual women, for often being complicit in the bullying and rape culture toward lesbians. Bi women who are desperate to be anything other than bisexual have found ways to instead identify themselves as lesbians within the terms of gender ideology and then turn around and accuse the actual lesbians, the homosexual women, of being bigots, TERFs, genital fetishists. We're in an ugly place right now.
