I've been out as bi since 1995, and quite a few of my friends are people I met through bi/queer community stuff.

I think a lot about bi erasure, what it takes to come out as bi, how bi people are represented in media, and so on.

Sometimes I run little online gatherings for the #Nottingham bi women (trans-friendly, typically an hour on Zoom on a weekday evening).

#bi #pan #bisexual #pansexual #queer #LGBT #LGBTQ #BisexualErasure

How do matters get brought to the #Mastodon board?

Is there a process anyone can link me to? Or do I start a petition?

As I am going to assume in good faith that the lack of inclusion of #BiPhobia is an over sight rather then active #BiSexualErasure.

So please @Gargron include us & offer us the same protections.

Please Boost if you agree.

Also @Gargron did you know the most common type of #BiPhobia is #BiSexual Erasure?

It has many forms but one of them is:
'Leaving out the bisexual community in LGBTQ+ advocacy'.

By not including #BiPhobia in the template, it is an act of #BiSexualErasure, which means the template is unfortunately #BiPhobic.

#BiSexuals & #GenX are frequently 'forgotten' about, being both is certainly an experience.
