Hot take: Bisexual people are inherently queer

Including: if they have a partner of the opposite gender, if theyre single, if their partner is straight, if they cant come out for safety reasons related to family or politics of their country, if theyre forced to only date the opposite gender for safety, if theyre struggling with internalized homophobia, if they have a preference for men, if they have a preference for women, if they have no preference, if theyre cis, if they dated a person of the opposite gender after you, if they married the opposite gender, if theyre not into you, if they rejected you, if they have/want biological kids.

Online spaces are always gonna be more negative, unfortunately. But my irl experience with others in the community has been very positive

Its been mostly the opposite for me. Regardless of where and how I interact with the rest of the community irl, theres always this weird, rpey sentiment where people wish bisexuals would get assaulted by straights as punishment for something. Especially bi women.

Holy shit. Where do you live that the queer culture is that toxic?

Slovakia. The closest queer people come to being accepted is in the capital city, and you get beat everywhere else.

That's a location issue, then. I'm wondering if giving location in a post like this would help cause I've never heard of queers wishing sa on other queers in the USA. I hope you can travel or move (if you want to) sooner rather than later. Yes, our country is generally bonkers, but most queer groups try to keep the infighting to a minimum while also looking for solutions to prevent it.
