In my years
bisexuality had become apart of my personal life. I learn't the
differences between experiences between men and women and how it all
defined this life. I read a blog about why bisexuals always get such
a hard time and it made me do lots of contemplating.
But before I get
into my daily experiences I will tell you my story:
Before I became even
curious I had never heard of bi sexuality until I was in high school.
It was in a place where it was just starting to become more common
and I ended up fantasising the possibility that I too might be
bisexual. I didn’t have any proper experiences til I was in my
early to mid 20s. (I am now in my 30s) . It took me years to finally
know what I was and when I did I came out to my mother. It wasn’t
until very very recently she started to believe that it was not a
phase and that it is actually apart of who I really am. After I got
out of my last relationship she ended up supporting it and asking
about whether I should find a girlfriend to have a relationship with.
I proved to myself in the past that I can also fall in love with a
woman.
My Experiences
along with society views
My daily experiences
as a bi sexual is a no different compared to a straight or gay
person’s. I work a job, I pay my bills, I look after my family and
friends if they need me. I live in my own place and own a driver’s
licence, which are all seemly normal things. I have a personality
that goes unchanged (unless I want it to). I am human. According to
some blogs bisexuals are prone to sexual abuse and deal with the
confusion from society of whether it is real or a phase. When I was
in my previous relationship my Ex Boyfriend had also said that I
would be most suited to be with a woman. I wasn’t sure why he’d
say that considering at the time he was the only one I wanted to be
with. But sometimes it goes to show how stupid society really is in
my books.
My whole life I have
not been seriously sexually abused or harassed physically or
emotionally in this way. Or though the confusion from this society
does piss me off because it makes me feel a little less accepted.
It seems that being
gay or straight is far more acceptable than being bi. The blog I was
reading is right. We do need to do more research into these things
and as carefully as you would research anything else. The world is
becoming a different place. Sometimes for the better and sometimes
for the worst. We have no control over it. But we can read about it
and think long and hard before we choose to make any decisions or
have any future opinions about something...or anything for the
matter. Have an open mind
people! All we wanted was more acceptance. We are not confused.We feel it so it is REAL.
