The Owl House’s bisexual characters are a gift
Bi women, you should never feel ashamed. Never.
Of being bisexual. You are not greedy, you are not looking for attention, you are not actually just gay/lesbian or straight, you are you, and that is beautiful.
Of liking women. You are not a sinner, you are not impure, you are not being sexy or fetishized for men, you are not following a “trend”. You are not broken, you are you and that is beautiful.
Of liking men. You are not faker, you are not a traitor to the queer community, you are not putting on an act or lying for attention, you are you and that is beautiful.
Of liking nonbinary folks. You are not secretly pansexual. You are not “defying the definition of bisexual” (the definition of bisexuality has attraction to nonbinary folks anyways) you are you and that is beautiful.
Of being a woman. You are not made to just take care of the house and kids (but if you want to that’s okay!) you are not a sex object, you are not weaker than men, you are you and that is beautiful.
Of being a feminist. You are not too loud or angry or dramatic, you are not hateful, you are not “unnecessarily political”, you are not shrill or annoying, you are you and that is beautiful.
Please never feel ashamed. Please treat yourself kindly. Stay hydrated, give yourself a hug, remember that you are awesome. Please love yourself. If you are having difficulties doing so, be patient with yourself, and just try to love yourself. Do it for me. Because I have felt shame for all of these reasons and I’m finally happy with myself exactly as I am. If I could do it, so can you
Women’s rights and sapphic rights will never cancel out trans rights, and vice versa! We all support each other in this patriarchal world

The problem with commercial F/M romance is that it's written by the most heterosexual women alive and reading it you feel yourself slowly suffocating from the Gender of it all like a fish in a eutrophying lake. And what we actually need as a culture is F/M written by insane bisexuals violently allergic to heteronormativity
Inspired by: the Bisexuals of the Blades (iconic bi wives) who were commonly mistaken (even by their own wedding photographer!) as lesbians. Bisexuals are a force to be reckoned with <3
While Battleaxe Bisexual is a panphobic notion (and the flag doesn’t resemble the bi flag as well as it could!) I do appreciate the idea of a term for bisexuals that look at the nuances around how bisexuals are treated. Blade Bisexual is not against pansexuality, however, is critical of how pansexuality has been far too often seen as a “better alternative” than bisexuality. I think that a few well meaning bisexuals who are exhausted with biphobia can be swept up into the Battleaxe Bi community. It is no excuse, but vulnerable ppl can be taken in and influenced by harmful notions. Blade Bisexual advocates for bisexuals without it being a footnote or stepping stone to gay/lesbian, or an “outdated version of pan”. And swords are just as cool as axes!
Being exclusive is not always a bad thing!! While pride is open to everybody- queer ppl of any time, cishet allies, ppl who are questioning, etc. there are also queer clubs, communities, bars, that are lgbtq ONLY. And that’s so necessary. Lgbtq ppl need a space away from cishets- while joining vast communities is so important, we do not need that all the time. I also think that bisexuals need their own spaces (just as gays/lesbians have their own spaces) for their solidarity.
Blade Bisexual is against biphobia, and is less about “all lgbtq should stick together all the time!!!1!” and more about “while the lgbtq is all valid and is not a choice, there are too many biphobes within cishets and the rest of the queer community as well”. Blade Bisexual is about bisexual solidarity, bisexual love and bisexual romance, bisexual friendship, bisexual pride, and that well earned bisexual rage ;) Blade Bisexual is just a less hateful version of Battleaxe Bisexual tbh.
