Bi-erasure

So even my literature professor said that bisexuality was not present in the example of a married woman (married to a man) with her own children who wrote poems about homosexual experiences in her early teenage years. I was like “that means she is bisexual, she willingly had sex with other members of her sex” and everyone was like “no, nuh uh, no, nope.” In psychology, there is an entire test with a scale for sexuality, and that writer sounds like they fall within the “bisexual” range of the Kinsey scale.

I hate being denied my existence. I slept with a girl last night and slept with a guy less than two months ago. That and how people don’t ever understand schizophrenics and people who have schizophrenia are different. Today I was a person who has schizophrenia. I behaved normally and functioned more highly than the average normal person.

@darksith- I was thinking the exact same thing…

The number on the page isn’t the full measure of the circumstance.
Do we actually need a number on a page to feel what’s right in the heart?

If a woman/ man is bisexual, but for now happens to be with opposite sex… sure… everyone on the outside looking in see’s a straight couple.

Only that person feels their sexual preference in their heart.

I have no idea how I measure on that scale. A scale isn’t going to tell me anything I don’t already feel in my heart, it’s not going to negate the feelings I’ve had for men I’ve fallen for… or the girl I’m with now.

We don’t need numbers on a page… we just need the knowledge in our hearts… and the courage to let that love and knowledge free.

Acceptance brings peace… peace helps the love flow.
We’re all on this earth together.
