Bisexual and biromantic people, very often, receive a lot of hurtful stereotypes thrown at them so let's take a moment to disprove them and clear some things up.
MYTH:
Bisexual people are confused and just don't know what they want.
TRUTH:
Bisexual people are not confused and can have preferences.
MYTH:
Bisexual people are being greedy.
TRUTH:
Bisexual people are not greedy. This would imply that they were polyamorous and date more than one person at a time (which is also okay so long as everyone agrees! )
MYTH:
Bisexual people believe there are only 2 genders.
TRUTH:
Bisexual people do not always believe that there only 2 genders, however, they are only attracted to men and women. This is not to be confused with Pansexual which means to be attracted to people regardless of their sex (not gender).
MYTH:
You can't be Bisexual unless you've had experience dating both men and women.
(I used the word "both" in this sentence not to imply that there are only two genders, but since Bisexual people are mainly, only attracted to these genders).
TRUTH:
You can be Bisexual even if you don't have experience dating both men and women. That's equally as bad as saying that you can't be straight unless you've had experience dating someone.
And that's my list complete.
Got any more stereotypes that you've heard and want to disprove? Comment them down below!
