make you feel like you are.

[alizeh @bisexualarchive]

and to young bisexuals in particular: please do not have sex that you don't want. if you are open to it but are not ready for it yet, wait for when it feels right to you. if you are not open to it at all, that's okay. you're not missing out on anything. don't let anyone make you+

[alizeh @bisexualarchive]

talk about compulsory sexuality. it is fundamental that you make the choice that feels most comfortable, safe, and appropriate to YOU.

[alizeh @bisexualarchive]

there is space in the bisexual community for all bisexuals — the ones who have lots of sex with lots of people and no sex at all. the ones who enjoy sex and the ones who are repulsed by it. the ones who want to discuss the stigma of "promiscuity" as well as the ones who want to +

[alizeh @bisexualarchive]

fuck the world. a bisexual is anyone who is attracted to people regardless of gender. if you die without having slept with anyone your entire life, but you are attracted to people regardless of gender, you're bisexual. we accept you & we love you.

[alizeh @bisexualarchive]

having sex that you did not want to have.

i have read too many papers to not know our ipv rates, our teen pregnancy rates. the world will tell you to be a bisexual not only must you have slept with people, but that you must have slept with multiple people of multiple genders.

[alizeh @bisexualarchive]

to have any sex that you don't want to be having to find out the Real you. there is no rush. time will tell. the Real is you is not a fixed person anyway, but the evolving, unfolding, beautiful human being that you are. there is no Fundamental Truth that's worth unlocking by +

[alizeh @bisexualarchive]

yourself, by having sex that you don't want to be having. i have read too many papers to not know that prevailing monosexist mores cause a lot of bisexual people to feel confused about whom they're Really attracted to or what their sexual orientation Really is. you do not need +

[alizeh @bisexualarchive]

i have read too many papers to not know that a lot of bisexuals feel pressured to have sex with multiple people & multiple genders to prove their bisexuality — either to themselves or to the world. you do not have to do this. you do not have to prove anything to anyone, not even+

[alizeh @bisexualarchive]

have to do anything you don't want to. sex is not a necessity to life. sex is not fundamental to life. you're not any less human, any less grown (if you are), any less bisexual if you do not have sex.

[alizeh @bisexualarchive]

however many times as you want. i will always be here to support & embrace the bisexuals who bear the brunt of the slutshaming & bigotry.

having said that, i also want to say, to those who are uninterested in sex, only mildly interested in sex or repulsed by sex — you do not +

[alizeh @bisexualarchive]

to speak, have often been regarded as "bad" bisexuals & the community often distances ourselves from them. i want you to know that i don't believe in this behaviour. you have every right to engage in safe, comfortable, consensual & enjoyable sex with as many ppl as u want +

[alizeh @bisexualarchive]

i want to say that i always have & always will support bisexual people who enjoy sex & engage in it frequently and with multiple people. bisexuality has always been stigmatised as particularly sexually ravenous & perverse & as a result, the bisexuals who "fit" the stereotype, so+

@umbre_eons has always been used by completely normal & definitely not fascistic people

[Ash @Ashbw854]

“Our women”…🫩🫩 sounds like heterosexist nationalist Bm and how they talk about Bw. But then again, this way of thinking is a nationalism, gendered/sexual nationalism but nationalism nonetheless.

[alizeh @bisexualarchive]

notice how bisexual people who were involved in the queer rights movement were essentially assimilated into lesbian & gay and then that gets weaponised against us to tell us that bisexual people are apolitical #BVM26

[sage @markingofdesire]

ppl love pulling the “bisexuals don’t contribute to the queer community” gimmick without considering how horribly common bisexual erasure (especially historically) is

[sage @markingofdesire]

no, you do not have to be a lesbian in order to have truly decentered men. that is the epitome of political lesbianism. you can still be a lesbian and be male centered, just like you can be bi or straight and yet not male-centered.
