Ok just to be clear if you are bi and are in a het relationship, you are going to benefit fro straight privilege. Your identity still exists but identity alone does not trump the experiences of gay ppl or bi ppl in homosexual relationships who want and need more support from the queer community. Also please dont appropriate words like “faggot” or “dyke” if you have only ever been in a het relationship. Its just not socially sensitive and really there is no reason to reclaim gay slurs unless they have been used against you in the past
Do you know who else has “Straight passing privilege”?
Single gay people. Gay people who are walking down the street not actively engaging in PDA with their partner. Closeted gay people. Ace people. Trans people. Intersex people. Non-binary people.
Lots of people, actually. Except, when it happens to anyone else, we call it “erasure.” Or “compulsory heterosexuality” or “heteronorativity.”
For some reason, having your identity ignored and all the other facets of your experience brushed aside are only a PRIVILEGE if you are bi.
Being Bi in a woman/man relationship doesn’t negate the fact that approximately 25% of bisexual men and 30% of bisexual women live in poverty, compared to 15% and 21% of heterosexual men and women respectively and 20% and 23% of gay man and lesbians.
Or While 20% of bisexuals report experiencing a negative employment decision based on their sexuality, almost 60% of bisexual people report hearing anti-bisexual jokes and comments on the job.8 Nearly half of bisexual people report that they are not out to any of their coworkers (49%), compared to just 24% of lesbian and gay people.
Or Bisexual people experience higher rates of sexual and intimate partner violence than gay, lesbian, and straight people. Bisexual women experience significantly higher rates of violence both overall and by significant others, compared to lesbian and straight women: 46% of bisexual women have experienced rape, compared to 13% and 17% of lesbian and straight women, respectively. Sixtyone percent of bisexual women have experienced rape, physical violence and/or stalking by an intimate partner, compared to 43% and 35% of lesbian and straight women respectively.
Or that bisexuals have higher rates of both physical and mental health issues than straight people, gays, and lesbians.
So whether or not you think we’re queer enough for you doesn’t change the fact that ALL BISEXUAL PEOPLE deserve support within our community.
also bi people are constantly pressured to validity their sexual orientation like none other because of people like u
This bullshit posted by the OP is a shining example of bisexual erasure and invalidation. Thank you to fandomsandfeminism for responding with everything I was thinking in a more eloquent manner than I ever could.

1000+ Signatures Needed for Emily Rose - Please Sign & Signal Boost
Emily Rose was banned from Creation Ent this weekend due to a malicious campaign launched against her. Read full story on her blog: http://exorcisingemily.tumblr.com/
We’re not letting this go until Emily has regained access to CreationEnt. Not only is she a member of the press, working as a reporter for the Geekiary, but she is a staunch advocate of peace in the fandom, founder of SPN Anti Bullying and creator of SPN 10 Gift that just finished celebrating every cast, crew and writer of Supernatural last month. She raised over $3000+ to reward this series, and now this has happened and the show is saying nothing in her defense.
At this point, it’s up to the fans to stand with Emily until justice has been served. Please remember that a group of people did this knowingly to Emily. They stalked her profile, screencapped her tweets of our context, and set up this elaborate scheme to get her kicked out. The fact that it worked should be chilling for all fans. Anyone with a grudge can use it to cause you real harm.
Don’t let harassment go unpunished. Please sign and signal boost:

I don’t care what you believe in, this is a great man.
HE DEMOTED A FRIGGIN CARDINAL FOR HIS ANTI-GAY COMMENTS. HE ROCKS.
I WANT TO SEE HIM IN LEATHERS ON A MOTORCYCLE WITH A CO-BISHOP OR WHATEVER IN A SIDE CAR
And now he acknowledges that the theory of evolution doesn’t contradict what the bible says. He is what popes are supposed to be like because he doesn’t care about the nitpicky details, he really just cares about helping people
i think he may be the first pope that even REMOTELY reflects what jesus taught. i hope people can learn from him. i like the guy
HE IS THE BOMB DIGGITY
When someone is raped, you don’t validate the rapist, wish it upon yourself, or congratulate the victim. It doesn’t matter that it was a boy. Anyone is susceptible to rape.
also she’s 47
more proof that dudebros only care about the male victims of rape when they can use it to argue against feminism
