Did you know that we have a bisexual woman to thank for pride as we celebrate it today?

alot of gay ppl seem to think bisexuals don't have any complicated relationship with their gender and think we are all c!s and are very gender conforming but that's not true. trans bi ppl exist, bi enbies exist, bi masc women exist, fem bi men exist, butch and femme bi ppl exist
