the double crescent moon represents bisexuality, and i put them in the middle of the femme and butch symbols!
a slur that's used to target sapphics, especially ones that are butch, masc, and/or androgynous (not exclusive though)
dark brown represents black and brown sapphics, as they've historically been the backbone of our community and are so extensively targeted yet so underrepresented
purple represents butches and studs, and general sapphic masculinity and androgyny
pink(1) represents unapologetic queer love for women which may include nonbinary genders
pink(2) represents transgender and nonbinary dykes
orange represents gender nonconformity
im reclaiming the labrys (double-sided axe) as a symbol of empowerment and strength within ALL sapphics regardless of status (ex. bisexual, trans, nonbinady, pansexual, etc.) the labrys flag was adopted by violent queerphobic/misogynistic terfs. im reclaiming it from that hatred and using it as a symbol of sapphic strength and empowerment. i also added the sapphic flower symbol into the axe to emphasize sapphism.
Bisexuals with no preference… you are so valid. No you are not faking it, no you do not need to pick a ‘favourite’ side that you’re attracted to, no you’re not actually pansexual, you are you
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
i feel like i never really see affirmation anymore for bisexuals who don’t have a preference, for bisexuals whose fluidity is constantly changing, for bisexuals who simply do not want or care about categorizing their attraction to every gender. as a bisexual i hate getting asked “what do you prefer?” because it forces me to simplify my complex relationship with my sexuality. it’s also a biphobe’s insidious way of asking “so are you actually straight or actually gay?” people can also use whatever label they identify with, but when you try to push the “bi means gender plays a factor into your attraction/you have a preference” definition, you are a part of the problem. you’re making people who identify as bi hyperanalyze their own sexuality. bisexuals do not need to think about who they prefer. i’m just tired of seeing every single post on social media about bi people being in relationship to preferences.
preferences are just not something i think about. i know i love everyone and that’s all i need to know. and i want this to be affirmation to anyone who is bisexual. you are not some meter in a scale. you don’t have to make a bar graph to explain your attraction to different genders. you can love everyone point blank full stop. your experiences will always be more important than having to define yourself. just live your bisexual life and keep being perfect 💗💜💙
I was recently made aware of the Trillium Grandiflorum! A gorgeous species of flowering plant native to the eastern half of the USA and Canada. It is a beautiful flower with a three pronged petal shape framed by three leaf like bracts (a modified or specialized leaf, especially one associated with a reproductive structure such as a flower, inflorescence axis, or cone scale) and it blooms from late spring to early summer in the mountain ranges and hills of the Appalachian upland forest.
In 1998 - 99, The creator of the bisexual pride flag, Michael Page suggested these flowers as a symbol for bisexuality, as the flower was reminiscent of the bi-angles (a set of three triangles in the bisexual colors) and it was a perfect example of sexual dimorphism (meaning it contains both male and female structure, which in older scientific literature was often referred to as being botanically bisexual).
It is also written about: ‘White trillium often occurs in dense drifts of many individuals.’ which calls to the vast unity of the bisexual community.
Many thanks to @lxdybi for introducing me to this flower and to its significance to the bisexual community.
At this link there is a collection of other bisexual symbols and motifs that have been used through the history of our community so if you’d like to learn more take a look! Im excited to use some of the symbols in my future bisexual art and design projects, and i hope some of you will join in with me too! it’s quite nice to find a bit more of bisexual culture <3
Happy bisexual visibility month 💙💜💖
As a nonbinary bisexual in a long term relationship with another nonbinary bisexual this is important and I’m v tired of the biphobia and transphobia coming from the “bisexual people are only attracted to (cis) men and women” take I’m sure we’ve all seen too often
