Hi, there! I'm a proud butch bisexual woman of color and you can call me Mina!
I run @bi4bination with my dear friend @/bi-dykes 💜 who also made the graphic used above
I'm always looking forward to make friends so feel free to message me!
I might not follow you back even if we have similar interests because I'm very picky of who I want on my dash. It's nothing personal! 💖

‘bisexuals need to make their own community and leave lesbians alone’
*bisexuals on their OWN blogs in their OWN spaces, SOLELY on the bisexual hashtag, calling themselves ‘butch’/‘femme’*
them: ‘you can’t do that. those are lesbian exclusive terms!’
*bisexuals make up new words for themselves, entirely separately, despite having every right to use butch/femme*
them: ‘doe are stag are just ripoffs of lesbian culture. those are lesbian IDEAS. You can’t use them.’
*sigh. bisexuals go back to using butch & femme anyway, because either way we can’t win & we ALSO listened to bi poc who informed us doe/stag can be dehumanising to bisexuals of colour*
them: ‘also btw you can’t use lavender, violets, carabiners, nautical stars. those are all lesbian symbols. Not sapphic. you’re erasing lesbian history.’
*so bisexual women can’t connect to ANY sapphic symbol or history dating before the 1980s. Got it. Thank you.
Just so we’re clear… does that go back all the way to Sappho might I ask… because as I recall she had a husband… and didn’t consider herself attracted to women EXCLUSIVELY so… also… does that mean we bisexuals get to exclusively claim Virginia Woolf and her sapphic writings that y’all love to claim so much? cause she was a pretty well known bisexual.
god WHERE DOES THIS END. we’re SO much better off together.
It makes literally NO sense to split apart and gatekeep sapphic history like this. Our history will be so much richer if we SHARE. We’ll all be impoverished if we allow this petty gatekeeping.
Lesbians don’t get to lock all 3000 years of sapphic history from Sappho all the way until the 80s in a little walled garden that only they get to enjoy… just because before 1980 we used primarly the word ‘lesbian’ for all of us.
Have some common sense. Please.
It’s a common misconception that vampirism automatically leads to bisexuality but shocking new information from the World Health Organization says that, through sheer coincidence, everyone who’s ever been turned into a vampire was already bisexual. Scientists and statisticians all over the globe are working hard to understand this absolute statistical clusterfuck. More at 11.
So already bi vampires are choosing to turn already bi humans? This makes vampirism a bi4bi sexually transmitted disease. Which, if you think about it, is VERY clear in the Old Texts.

Why do you use lesbian exclusive terms like “butch” and “dyke” when you aren’t a lesbian? It makes me, a lesbian who uses those terms and recognizes their history in the lesbian community, super uncomfortable
i’ll answer this in good faith bc you haven’t called me a bihet, and you haven’t been ragingly biphobic so here you go king <3
unfortunately my friend, you have played right into lesbian separatist propaganda.
the history and the terms you’re describing were never lesbian exclusive. this isn’t to say that they haven’t been playing a part in lesbian culture, or that they’re not important to lesbians, but lesbian history (especially american bar culture from the 1940s-60s) has always included bisexual and pansexual sapphics, bc we didn’t even exist as an option or a community back then. lesbians, or lesbianism to be precise, was a label for anyone who was wlw, bisexuality didn’t exist until the 70s, and up until that point we’d been living right alongside lesbians for decades with no problems.
butch has also been used in ballroom culture. drag queens and other mlm identities have used butch since it’s creation and it has been used by gay men (right along with femme) for decades. these terms have *always* existed for the entire community. have they existed in different ways? sure, just like how the word ‘right’ has several different meanings depending on context, which in this case the context would be between ballroom cultures ‘butch queen realness’ and the sapphic communities ‘butch dyke’ role. (friendly reminder that ballroom culture is black/POC culture, and so is butch/femme, even though black sapphics were excluded from gay bars in the fifties. if your community doesn’t include black folks then you’ve got some workin to do to make that space inclusive for them)
as a bisexual i have every right to claim lesbian history (the history that includes me) that you do. it is not my job to make lesbians comfortable, i am not obligated to consider your personal feelings when i am choosing to share my identity online.
if my identity is such a problem for you then you can block me (i promise i won’t be hurt by it), or you can look into why you, as a lesbian, are so uncomfortable when bisexual sapphics lean into their god given history alongside you. it might be some insecurities or/along with some biphobia that you need to work on.
here’s some photos (although you could easily google and find these things)

bisexuals will see someone in period clothes and be like yes
Bi girls like girls because they like girls, not because men think it’s hot. Bi girls are not fetishes or threesome material. Bi girls are not tainted by any gender. Bi girls are not sluts, nor unloving, nor unfaithful. Just people.
Data from a recent report, which shows which types of relationships bisexual people are in. So you all can stop with your biphobic ‘bisexuals are always in M/F relationships’ nonsense.
(Note: binary trans people are included in the first graphic. The last two graphics are just created to be exclusively about them.)

Aspen Silverglade used to be a force for good, but now she's just a sword for hire. On the run from the people she once trusted most, she needs to keep her head down and keep moving. But old habits are hard to quit. One night in a tavern, Aspen tries to save a woman from some unwanted attention. The woman, Charm Linville, is in the middle of a subtle and delicate act of thievery, and she does not appreciate Aspen blundering in. The disastrous and public rescue-gone-wrong makes the townspeople think Aspen and Charm are a couple. This mistake sets Aspen's bloodthirsty betrayers on Charm's trail, tying the two of them together. Even if Aspen can't run from her past any longer, Charm shouldn't have to suffer. Despite Aspen's determination to work alone, Charm insists on helping—and she has a past of her own. The two of them don't care for each other's methods, but as they journey through the villages and wildernesses of Falland, solving problems and meeting magical friends and foes, Aspen and Charm grudgingly come to care for each other. Can these two guarded, stubborn women admit their feelings, or will Aspen's enemies kill them first? Errant, Volume One is the first volume in a series of novellas. It contains two novellas, intended to be read in sequence, and is approximately 52,000 words total.

This book has a butch bisexual protagonist!!
bisexuality is expansive. there are as many different types of bisexuals and ways to be bisexual as there are stars in the milky-way.
stop reducing us all down to ‘male-centred’ & defining our bisexuality for us please. It stifles our understanding & expression of our own identities.
you define us, for us, without our say, always primarily by our ‘proximity’ to men.
If you’re so keen on ‘decentering men’ perhaps stop centering them in other people’s identities and sexualities without their consent.
Thank you.
When people put bisexuals, especially bisexual women, in boxes of "all bisexual women are male centric" this belief leads not only to people see us as nothing but extensions of men but also leads bisexual women to question their sexuality when they don't fit in the box of popular stereotypes for bisexual women. I have seen bi women go "am I really bisexual if I prefer women?", "am I really bi if I can't imagine myself ending up with a man?" and so on.
And, biphobic people say bi women are male centric and then proceed to erase the bisexuality of bi women who have worked to unlearn the misogynistic beliefs taught to us and don't center men :/
Non bisexuals should truly stop speaking over us in matters of bisexuality.
Yet another post for TDOV!!
My newest oc,
Odine she/her
Bisexual aspec trans woman.
Odine is a trans woman who transitioned later in life. She put a lot of effort into advancing within the ranks of soldiers and it paid off when she was offered a position as high knight. It was here that she met Kniahm a fellow high knight who was kind to her. they quickly began a friendship and were inseparable, each understanding what the other was going through, due to their jobs and also their transness.
She is a calm and sweet person who makes it her duty to learn more about the world and the people in it. She loves competive games and sparring, but also equally loves relaxing and spending time near the many rivers and lakes that are within the kingdom.
She presents herself as very in control and optimistic but cannot deny that deep down she often feels very out of place and strange. It can give her episodes of depression and apathy, but she tries her best to stay as positive as possible (even to her detriment)
if your definition of bi women (or any woman for that matter) boils down to the idea that they're inherently 'male-centred', then you're not as feminist as you think you are.
sorry.
to that prev post, real.
People can understand that he/him lesbians & transmasc lesbians exist, based in real historical community rather than restrictive dictionary definitions (ie ‘lesbian’ always exclusively means woman loving woman)…but then can’t fathom the existence of bi butches/femmes?
what is so hard to understand? just as he/him & transmasc butch lesbians have always existed in the community… so have bisexual butches and femmes.
Let’s not police based on the dictionary definition, but read up on the realities of history please.
bi butches and femmes have always been here, and we’re NOT going away.
