Biphobia

10. Why Biphobia?
People who identify as bisexual are one of the minorities in the LGBT+
community
Bisexual people often face double discrimination from the outside world,
as well as within the LGBT+ community
Negative labels such as being unfaithful and "players" are often linked
with bisexuality

17. 雙性戀 vs. 泛性戀 Bisexual vs. Pansexual
Bi & Pan are two labels some people use to describe their sexual / romantic orientation.
There is a lot of debate about their use, often based on misunderstandings on both sides.
Definition
Attracted to two or more genders
Attracted to same and different genders
Attracted to multiple genders
May or may not feel a stronger attraction towards people of a
particular gender
Reason for using them
"Bi is more well-known and does not require me to explain it when I
come out."
"The bi community is well-established and has a long political history."
"I am attracted to multiple genders but not all."
"I experience attraction differently for different genders."
"I am more comfortable with the term bi."
Bisexual

18. 雙性戀 vs. 泛性戀 Bisexual vs. Pansexual
Bi & Pan are two labels some people use to describe their sexual / romantic orientation.
There is a lot of debate about their use, often based on misunderstandings on both sides.
Definition
Attracted to all genders
Attraction regardless of gender
Reason for using them
"I am attracted to all genders and I like that pan explicitly states that."
"Gender does not play a part in my attractions so the definition fits my
experience best."
"I am more comfortable with the term pan."
Pansexual

19. 性向、性別自定義 Self-defining Your Sexuality & Gender
People can decide on a way to define their sexuality according to their feelings
In certain foreign countries (e.g. USA), some people use very specific terms to define
their sexuality, and sometimes combine these terms to form the most accurate
description for themselves
Labels are used to enhance self-identity and
community cohesion, and not to enforce
restrictions or stereotypes onto oneself or
others.
Labels should not function as a source of
pressure. It's OK to choose not to identify
with any label.

21. 雙性戀名人 Famous Bisexual People

25. Bisexuality often needs an explanation. It is not something you can
often "read" on a person. People's sexuality is often defined by who we
are partnered with at any given moment, which can be a frustrating
limitation for me.
I am bi, and I am getting married this fall. I am choosing to get married
because this particular person brings out the best in me. This person
happens to be a man. I am still bi.
̶̶ Stephanie Beatriz, American actress

26. 雙性戀常面對的 視 Common Biphobia

27. 雙性戀常面對的 視 Common Biphobia
Bisexual erasure
Not gay enough, pretending to be straight / gay
Having only dated people of one gender, not "bi" enough / no way to tell they're bi
They only call themselves bisexual because they can't accept their homosexuality
Only looking to other genders because a certain gender can't satisfy them
It's just a phase, they will turn straight / homosexual again after they settle down
Will ultimately "turn straight" and get married and have kids
Leaving a way out for themselves
Just doing this for fun
Too young to know what they want
Have not decided yet

28. Slut-shaming
Want a threesome / open relationship
Everyone is a potential mate
Will shag anything that moves, is promiscuous, has a higher chance of STDs
Is a player, cheater, lacks security
雙性戀常面對的 視 Common Biphobia

29. Bisexuals are just trying to hide the fact that
they are homosexual, or are just going through a
phase and exploring their own sexuality.
They will ultimately "choose a side".
Bisexuals can be attracted to more than one gender at any
given time. This has nothing to do with whether they have a
partner, or the gender of their previous or current partners.
It is impossible to foresee the gender of the person with
whom bisexual people will spend the rest of their lives with -
it depends on fate, like it does for everyone else.

30. You have never dated, or you have only
dated someone of a certain gender.
How can you be sure you are bisexual?
Heterosexual people might also have only dated
people of one gender. How can they know that they
are not interested in other genders?
A person's sexuality is not defined by their romantic
or sexual experience, but rather by their instincts and
feelings.

31. Bisexuals are players!
A person's attitude towards dating is not related to
their sexuality. Even people who are only attracted to
one gender can cheat, or opt for open relationships.
What's more important in a relationship is love and
respect, not gender or sexuality.

32. 婚姻平權對雙性戀的重要性 Importance of Marriage Equality for Bisexuals
People often think that bisexuals would "eventually marry the opposite sex" and
that marriage equality does not affect the rights of bisexuals, which is not true
This false perception is only based on the fact that same-sex marriage is not
legalised, making homosexual relationship less "stable" and "reliable" than
heterosexual ones
If marriage equality is legalised, and both homosexual and heterosexual couples can
enjoy equal rights, bisexuals would be be assumed to "ultimately choose the
opposite sex"
