Fencestraddlers 8 years, 2 months agoHey so, some validation is needed: its totally normal to be in a committed relationship with a dude or whatever and just miss the female body right?
I know its fine but it kinda, at more vulnerable moments, makes me feel like a “greedy” bi trope, you know.Thoughts?
-
Oh my god yes. I suspect that if I stay with my current dude long-term I will absolutely need to do some open or poly stuff at some point. I tend to think it’s because I’m way further to the lesbian end of the spectrum than the other end, but it’s probably totally justified even without that.
-
That feels so good to hear! I feel like I’m drifting that way too. I just – ladies are so cool, and dudes are alright – I just happen to be in love with one :P
But with open stuff my worry all like the anti-bi rhetoric like oh “bi folk aren’t loyal” etc
Like all the things in Heather Hogans tv recap today – pertinent.
Plus do ladies even…[Read more]

Yeah I don’t know about that one. There’s anti-bi thinking all over the place, so being open or poly can definitely be hard. Some people manage it, and manage to form communities where people are ok with it, but I sure haven’t had any luck with that yet…

I think that’s totally fine! And I hear you about being closer to the lesbian end of the spectrum – I define myself as a misandrist who makes exceptions…
-
Ha ha ha that is awesome :)

i would just like to add my 2 cents to this convo…which is i agree with everything that was already said.

Fencestraddlers 8 years, 2 months agoAnyone have any opinions on bisexuality in OITNB? I have some opinions but I want to hear what others have to say first.
-
I feel like bisexuality might be slightly less erased than usually, but that that’s not saying much…
I honestly haven’t really thought about it much while watching OITNB – which might be because the show erases it, or might be because I ID more towards the lesbian side of things, and am particularly looking for that in the show at the moment.…[Read more]
-
i feel like Piper experiences bisexuality in a way that is the stereotypical “half gay half straight,” i.e. when she was with Larry, she renounced her “former gayness” (“i used to be a lesbian”) and was cool with being IDed as straight, whereas when she’s with a woman or a non-binary person, she is cool with being IDed as a lesbian. but that’s not…[Read more]

it does seem funny that the word has never been used, despite at least a few characters off the top of my head sleeping with and/or having romantic feelings for people of multiple genders… seems like they’re more likely to call it “gay for the stay” than to allow a character to own that identity. :/
-
I really wish someone in the show would explicitly identify as bi. (Not Piper though, maybe Morello or Brooke).
-
It’s like the show doesn’t want anyone to identify as bi (or anything else that’s in the middle) because it’s completely uncool at the moment. Like they’d lose all their queer cred and just be a joke. And like if people don’t talk about bisexuality and just switch between partners of different genders, everyone can just pretend the character is…[Read more]
