well i'm imagining you're not in relationships with men or getting pegged in your relationships with women

and also you can be trans and not have a d***

ngl im kinda confused

im jus saying if u dont wanna be with someone because theyre trans or in this particular scenario a woman but with a p****, only because they have a p**** despite looking like a woman, that doesnt make u transphobic, it just means u dont have a sexual preference for transsexual people

Like i would NEVER discriminate against a trans person, but im ngl id feel weird about being in a relationship with a trans person for 2 reasons (how id be perceived, whether or not id be into her having a p****). Does that make me transphobic?

@op do you get a similar pushback from gay men since you also are attracted to women?

That’s interesting to me and the opposite of what I would think would happen. 🤔

deadass had someone who was interested stop talking to me because they found out i was bi when i was honest and up front with them about it.

It’s jealousy pure and simple. You can be totally interested in them but even the smallest amount of general interest in the opposite s***makes them angry and bitter. It’s pathetic tbh. I know plenty of gay men who feel this way too

I’ve had a polyamorous person share this exact sentiment. Of course the dynamic was different but the premise I think was the same in how people viewed being in a relationship with them.

I'm not a mindless husk of a person. My sexual attraction may have been given to me out of my control, but I have the introspective capacity to describe what I do and don't like.

You are stopping at that first step, and I think you're doing it in bad faith at this point. We both agree that learning someone is bisexual can alter someone's mental perception of someone and make them no longer attracted to that person. You, however, are saying that's purely the end. As if there is a gene that checks for "bisexual=yes" and shuts off physical/sexual attraction. I would wager that almost certainly isn't the case.

We have seen societal beauty standards change throughout the ages and throughout cultures. Sexual attraction isn't purely genetic. There are social factors influencing our perceptions of attractiveness. I, and many of the other rational people in this thread are saying that claiming you instantly lose attraction after learning someone is bisexual is due to lingering homophobia/biphobia. Examples of these being seeing men as inherently more feminine because of their orientation, irrational fear of them cheating on you with another man, or thinking they're "tainted" by having been "gay" in the past.

Many people acknowledge this. You, for some reason, are stopping at the most surface-level of explanations and then putting your head in the sand. None of us can figure out why.

So what I’m gathering from this thread is:

• OP understands how trash Fresh & Fit is but put that aside to have a real discussion about male biphobia
• KTT2’s finest care more about “exposing” whether or not OP is a true Fresh & Fit fan than discussing male biphobia…
• Even after OP stresses how much he doesn’t care for Fresh & Fit and agrees with people’s gripe with him posting it as a source, but still wants to have the important discussion about biphobia regardless
• …but people don’t care and wanna go in circles with OP about how evil he is for posting Fresh & Fit as a source

If y’all agree with biphobes just say that and have the discussion, don’t hide behind the Fresh & Fit source cause you’re scared to admit you’re biphobic lol. Cause it’s starting to seem like that’s the case after OP had to go in circles a million times
