    I’d like to see all stereotypes disappear but if I had to pick one:

    The idea that if a bisexual person is in a relationship with the opposite gender that means they are heterosexual now.

    That’s not how it works, that’s not how any of this works. Just because I’m with a man doesn’t make me straight. I’m still attracted to women too.

      Completely agree. I have had to clearly define that I am still bisexual even when I sleep with men. It’s like one of the defining characteristics of being bisexual.

      To add: bisexuals are more likely to cheat than monosexuals.

      Straight people cheat all the time. It’s not something bisexuals do at a higher rate than everyone else.

      This right here. Dumbest take I ever saw was someone pointing out that me being bisexual means that sexual orientation is a choice since I switch between lesbian and heterosexual. Blew his mind when I asked him about those times I had both in bed…
