    But once you accept that who you like is independent of your sex or gender, you have to actively avoid considering that someone could like both to erase bisexuals. I dunno.

    I will stop cuz I'm not making sense, but it is seriously a thing I don't understand on any level. Like I get transphobia, I get homophobia, I get racism, I get classism, I get xenophobia, I get misogyny. I can intellectually understand someone holding those views, thinking those things, and can see why they would.

    I do not understand holding the idea that bisexuals don't exist. I just don't.

    Well one of the problems is right here

    "both" suggests that bisexual people have to like two people, one of each gender

    Well, yeah, but that's a different myth. I think that one's dumb and the result of not thinking, obviously, but it's not the same level of "I don't get it" as "bisexual people don't exist."

    My ex had a friend that insisted that.

    My ex was also bi. So that was really weird.

    I guess for some reason bisexual myths tend to bug me more than other ones.

    Her friend thought she didn't exist?

    How did that explain you?

    "Oh, this is the person dating my imaginary friend. But she's real."

    Well it was an LDR so I only met her like once and present as male and for the sake of not being outed during my multi-year questioning phase everyone but my ex thought I was cismale.

    Either way I'm sure she'd cling to something to pretend that my ex wasn't really bi.

    I dunno it was really weird and I was kind of boggled at the friendship.

    Sometimes you have really old friends who aren't capable of adjusting to various changes that come up in your life. Usually you start drifting apart over time.

    I have preemptively drifted from everyone, ha.

    Yeah, I have been doing that too. A guy I've known for over 15 years is getting married soon. I have a feeling this might be the last time I go visit them.

    Married people are fine to hang out with, if you know/are friends with the partner.

    It's once they have kids that it becomes an issue I think.

    it has been a long time since i've heard anyone discount the existence of bisexuals

    i think the only time i've actually heard it (long ago) was from some gay guys i knew in texas who asserted that bisexual guys were just gay guys who were unwilling to accept who they really were.

    it really seemed to have a lot more to do with the experiences of the guys making the assertions rather than the bisexuals they were referring to

    I recall seeing a graph of some kind of competence verses self-perceived competence.

    Basically, the 25th, 50th, 75th, and 99th percentile all ranked themselves on average as between 70th and 75th percentile. There was like five to ten percent wobble room but it was amazingly stable. So only the 75th percentile can reliably judge themselves apparently.

    I like to think of it in terms of pain. You can never know how much pain someone else is in, so you have no right to say they are lying about their pain. Whatever they feel, imagined or otherwise, is what you gotta work with, since you can't ever be inside their head to declare otherwise.

    maybe

    on the other hand, people make shit up for all kinds of reasons.

    people malinger. people seek attention. people make up stories to feel better about themselves.

    which is basically to say that if someone told me they were really an alien catlady, i wouldn't believe them (obviously) and wouldn't associate with them because either they were too fanciful for my tastes or else deranged
