baseless bigotry is

“It’s ir­re­spon­si­ble that bi peo­ple don’t talk about the priv­i­leges they get pass­ing as het­ero­sex­u­al. They nev­er ex­pe­ri­ence era­sure like gays do!!”
 

And

oth­er sen­tences I shouldn’t have been forced to read with­in the first few min­utes of be­ing awake.

Imag­ine be­ing a grown ass adult and think­ing that BI­SEX­U­ALS nev­er ex­pe­ri­ence ERASURE. 

The bi­sex­u­al ‘they’re just in­de­ci­sive and slut­ty’ community.
The bi­sex­u­al ‘just as if not more like­ly to be the vil­lain in me­dia than a gay char­ac­ter’ community.
The bi­sex­u­al ‘it’s a to­tal­ly dif­fer­ent thing from pan­sex­u­al and it’s a trans­pho­bic thing at that’ community.
The bi­sex­u­al ‘it’s just a phase’ community.

Have a nu­anced con­ver­sa­tion about the sim­i­lar­i­ties and dif­fer­ences be­tween pass­ing as a priv­i­leged group and be­ing a priv­i­leged group. That’s fine. You’re wrong for say­ing that’s the same thing, but you can say it and you can be corrected. 

But fuck the fuck right off say­ing that the ‘pass­ing priv­i­lege’ bi­sex­u­als get is a lack of era­sure. LIKE BE­ING AS­SUMED TO BE HET­ERO­SEX­U­AL ISN’T IT­SELF ERASURE.
