theaceandaroadvocacyproject:Happy Celebrate Bisexuality Day! There are plenty of bi people in the ace and aro communities, so we wanted to highlight some of their experiences today. Feel free to reblog and add on! [ID: Two images with white text on a purple square, and the TAAAP logo in the upper right corners. The first has the bi triangle imagery around the light blue border, and the second has the bi moons imagery around the pink border. Both have the heading “Being Bi and A-spec”, with the first having the subheading “The Negatives” and the second having the subheading “The Positives”. The first reads “Aro-allos and bi people are often stereotyped as hypersexual or promiscuous. This false stereotype weighs double on aro bisexuals. Gatekeepers often treat bi, ace, and aro people the harshest. Bi a-spec people may feel extra vulnerable in LGBTQ+ spaces due to this. The stereotype of “it’s just a phase” is often applied to bi and aspec identities, due to monosexuality and allosexuality/romanticism being considered the norm. Bi aspec people may feel that they have to justify their identities, or even doubt themselves.”The second reads “There are many ways that people can be bi and aspec; they can be bisexual and gray-asexual, bisexual and aromantic, bi-alterous and aroace, biromantic and asexual, etc. The bi and aspec communities have supported each other for a long time. Even when labels such as “asexual” and “aromantic” were not well known, people with those experiences could find sanctuary in the bi community, as people who also could not necessarily be defined as straight or gay. No amount of negatives can change the fact that your orientation is valid and wonderful!” End description.] -- source link
