Biphobia/multispec-antagonism
is a subset of homophobia you say? It’s just a category that can be lumped
under homophobia, huh?Because calling
a queer person who is attracted to multiple genders a “dickriding bislut” can definitely
be
classed under homophobia (/s – bold and italics will be used to refer
to sarcasm for the rest of this post). [x]*And saying
that bi people are only comfortable with the word queer because it is never
used against them is exactly the same as homophobia. [x]Just like
calling bi people nuthuggers and saying that they’re dangerous, disgusting,
dirty, misogynistic manlovers who condone rape is totally just a form of
homophobia. [x]And saying
that bi women having attraction to men makes them untrustworthy is entirely
like homophobia. [x]Or like how
essentially victim blaming bi women because they didn’t drop their attraction
to men and dated more men after enduring so much from men before and claiming
they have het privilege is so similar to homophobia. [x]And using one
example of a lesbophobic bi woman as a reason for it to be okay to call bi
women “vile man lovers” is just like homophobia. [x]In the same
vein as using some examples of not so nice bi people as reason to hate all
bisexuals is just like homophobia. [x]Having people
claim that bi women aren’t as oppressed and aren’t queer when they’re in a relationship
with a man is close enough to homophobia to call
biphobia/mspec-antagonism a subset of it. [x]And having
people say that bi people are contributing to their own erasure for “enjoying
the comfort and safety of a heterosexual relationship” and that they “aren’t as
queer as actual homosexuals” is similar to homophobia. [x]Or saying that
because it’s more common for bi people to end up in relationships that are not
with someone of the same gender, that we have privilege is pretty well the same as
homophobia. [x]And purposeful
and even explicit want of the exclusion of pansexual (and asexual) people from LGBT+ spaces
is relatable
to homophobia. (Bonus points for aphobia.) [x]Oh, and a
person within the LGBT+ community erasing a canon bisexual character’s
orientation while simultaneously denying that bi women can be correctively
raped and saying that bisexual women are considered the ideal women sounds so much like homophobia. [x] [x]And someone
claiming that calling someone “bihet” or calling a couple “bihet” isn’t erasure
and isn’t demonizing bi people not in same gender relationships is
just part of homophobia. (Bonus points for it being in reference to a
polyamory-antagonistic post. Yes, I do know that it can sometimes be a problem
in terms of cat-fishing to add someone for a threesome, however simply a polyam
couple looking for a third isn’t in any way intrusive. And this post doesn’t
clarify one way or the other about which this was.) [x] [x]Claiming that
bi women call themselves wlw to claim lesbian oppression and distance
themselves from “straight privilege” while denying that biphobia isn’t equally
harmful, claiming that bi people are trying to help trans people “trample over
the LG” (bonus points for transphobia), and even denying the multispec
orientation of the well-known champions of Stonewall is entirely like homophobia. [x] [x] [x]And centering
bi women’s lives revolve around being “proud cocksuckers”, “loving dick”, “craving
sperm”, “whoring it up with jizz”, calling bi women nuthuggers and dick suckers
while saying we should calm down about it because it’s “just words”, telling bi
women to shut up if they’re in a relationship with a man and that we need to
give up on men to be accepted (into TERF spaces, so yeah, don’t want that
anyway), saying that bisexuals are less oppressed than homosexuals, and
claiming that bisexual women are politically classed as heterosexual to the
point of saying that the purpose of bisexuality in modern society is to keep
women heterosexual can totally be classified as a subset of homophobia. [x] [x] [x] [x]Yeah. You can
totally class biphobia/multispec-antagonism as a subset of homophobia.
Entirely. Because it’s so similar, and totally only demonizes people for
same-gender attraction, and doesn’t at all specifically target their
attraction to multiple genders, and totally doesn’t make multi-spec
people feel that they need to be closeted even in LGBT+ spaces. [x]Fuck off with
that shit.

The evidence speaks for itself about why this is terrible. Please unfollow (and better yet, just fucking block me) if you think this way
