Ye...Hi Lisabet, Sorry I didn't see this sooner! Yes, what Sacchi said. It can be very disheartening for both men and women when they're told or treated as if they're faking something ala 'you're really gay, you just aren't ready to admit it yet' and dismissing bisexuality as not being valid.Morticiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17665928554901357823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-50120814197254067092019-02-13T03:31:36.049-05:002019-02-13T03:31:36.049-05:00Thank you! :-)Thank you! :-)Morticiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17665928554901357823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-32583542109175591682019-02-13T03:30:53.314-05:002019-02-13T03:30:53.314-05:00Thank you Sacchi!

I..."Bi-erasure" is used a lot these days. I think it's mostly a term bisexual people use when other people on the spectrum claim that bis don't really exist, or don't belong on the LG(B)T list, or just can't make up their minds which side of the road to park on, and should be ignored. There may be an element of "Bisexuals can pass as ordinary, so they don't get the oppression gays and lesbians do. They're just in it for the fun parts." Ah, political divides, even in matters of gender.

Since speech is protected and attitudes are arguably more liberal than in the traditional, conservative culture I'm part of, you have a whole range of options. Unfortunately once you let something out of the bag, you can't put it back in.<br /><br />I was also intrigued by your use of the term "bi-erasure". I've never encountered that before. Can you elaborate? I've always been bisexual, and never thought much about it -- it just seems natural to me.

I known just what you mean in terms of how much to reveal, although I had it somewhat easier because I live in a very tolerant area of the country (western MA) and owned my own retail business for many years until I sold it and retired. But even here, the local community of writers gets a bit squicked out at the idea of erotica.

I find it amusing that many people will denounce erotic romance and those of us who write it, but they're probably hiding a book or two on their Kindle. After all, someone's buying it, right?
