9. Bisexual history.
All people, male and female, are born bisexual and like a light switch held between on and off, will usually fall into one of two extremes. On the whole, did not consider homosexuality to be an aberration or sickness in and of itself, but those societal pressures would undoubtedly contribute to unhealthy fetishes and sexual behaviors.
I've read an article about “Lesbian history” by Gregory S. Storms. Bisexual women activists realized this point early on, especially because it impacted their lives with greater force than perhaps it would have lesbian separatists. Bisexuals could not create communities of isolation for the simple fact that many aligned with a definition of bisexuality that reflects Holly’s above, that of a merging of two sexual communities, not a rejection of one for the other. If bisexual women were to create a separatist bisexual nation, there would be essentially no community to form. By rejecting straight communities many bisexual women felt that they would be rejecting a part of themselves. Instead, they sought out ways to integrate the two communities, gay and straight, by a concerted effort of undermining multiple systems of oppression simultaneously.
Within this mindset, many bisexual women not only reacted against lesbian feminists by establishing a separate movement focused on bi women’s concerns, but also attempted to show the commonalities between lesbians and bi women.
"I believe that gender is something between your ears, not between your legs." - Chaz Bono. I believe with this quote. This quote means, your gender is in your eyes to what you attracted to romantically or sexually. And to your heart to what you feel with someone whether it is a female or male.
Doubts about the veracity of bisexuality as an identity are not new. Variously characterized within dominant discourses of sexuality as, among other things, a form of infantilism or immaturity, a transitional phase, state of conclusion, even a lie, the category of bisexuality for over a century has been persistently refused the title of legitimate sexual identity.
8. Female bisexual.
Females kind of mysterious. You'll never know what's running through their heads until you got surprise by their actions. But sometimes or most of the time , a bi-fem will be able to know if this female is a bisexual . By just looking or observing the girl's action, they can come up with a conclusion that this girl might be a bisexual.
While researching, I found this article entitled “Myths about bisexual women” by Stefan Anitei. They Said that sexual orientation was found to lie on a smooth continuum, and the way people state their orientation is often a poor predictor of their true sexual behaviors and fantasies. A new study published in Developmental Psychology further shows that female bisexuality is a fairly distinct sexual orientation, not something experimental or a passage to lesbianism.
Although, sexual attractions appear fairly stable, sexual identities and behaviors are more fluid. This fluid may be an inevitable consequence of the fact that most young women experience attractions for both sexes. This non-exclusivity leaves open the possibility for multiple identities and behaviors over time, even when attractions remain stable. Bisexuality is merely a phase in which people experiment with their sexuality until they develop a heterosexual or lesbian orientation. For these so-called “bi-curious” individuals, bisexuality is an intermediate sexuality that eventually develops into either an exclusively same-sex or exclusively other-sex orientation.
“I think people are born bisexual and the make subconscious choices based on the pressures of the society. “ It’s natural to be a bisexual because sometimes you’ll feel something different inside. Women are more generally heterosexual, because we have required men in order to be able to continue the human race. But women have also been attracted to other women because of our tendency to be more caring.
Nowadays, it doesn’t matter if you’re dating both sexes because people already expect that in females. Women often feel more than ‘just’ friendship for their girlfriends. Perhaps this is why in society, bisexual women are considered more ‘normal’ than bisexual men. We have this subconscious feeling that men are supposed to be one way or the other, not anywhere in between.
