Sleeping with men changes nothing about the woman or her orientation, so precluding her as a partner because she's had a penis inside her is some hella regressive shit.

Can I join that club? My god the shit that we have to put up with, ESPECIALLY the assumption of promiscuity being because of "bisexuality". No, moron, I'm promiscuous because I like sex and feel comfortable expressing my sexuality that way, not because of my orientation.

Let me counter that: what's wrong with a woman having slept with men, if she's also interested in women? It's a silly prejudice.

I can't speak for other trans people, but at least for me, I would rather my trans status neither be a point of attraction nor a deal breaker. My preference is for it to be considered completely irrelevant. But that's just me.

Same, I use pansexual amidst peers who I think will understand the terminology, but tend to use the word bisexual when talking to others, just because it's easier than having to give that long speech about gender and attraction and sexuality as spectrums with their many nuances and variables.

I'm very much monogamous by nature, but my husband is not, so we both have the 'ability' to step out and explore, but it rarely actually happens... I kinda feel bad for bisexual men though (my husband is), if I had a dollar for every time I heard someone tell him that men aren't bisexual, he's gay and afraid to admit…

"Confused"? I'd take "confused" The ones that were most damaging to me personally were

So funny. It shows how different everyone is. I'm not even bisexual, I'm pansexual. And I am the poster child for lifelong monogamy. XD

I think some of the antipathy towards bisexual people comes from the fact that mildly homophobic people who reluctantly accept that being gay isn't a choice still believe that bisexuals could and should choose to act straight. At least, I know my own mother was more comfortable suspecting and assuming I was gay than…

I've been out as bisexual/pansexual since I was 15, and 13 years later, my mother still refuses to believe me since she hasn't seen me with any women and I wound up married to a man. It's hard to get her to take into account the fact that I purposely didn't introduce her to any of the women I've been involved with…

As someone who's only dated men and is very interested in having a relationship with a woman, this is rather alarming news. That's also such a strange thought process - I don't see how the threat of being dumped for a guy is any greater than the threat of being dumped for another woman. If you're worried about your…

Yes- I hate to say it, but I often feel very uncomfortable in queer spaces, because I'm bi and in a monogamous relationship with a man. I feel like I'm just waiting for everyone in the room to point to me and tell me to get out, I'm not queer enough.

Everything about the concept of "Gold Star" gay/lesbian is shitastic and needs to stop existing.

There's a surprising amount of stigma from the gay community. Nobody likes us bisexuals.

Thank you for this, Kat.

I believe these burgers should be free-range, organically grown lentil burgers, salted with the tears of women in drug-free labor. All of us lesbian shit-asses deserve nothing less.

I'm on a low-carb diet. Can I have a dumbass salad to laugh at while eating alone?

Does the nothing burger come with fries?

Ah! the "you're just jealous" defense. One of the top three bullshit defenses, along with "we're not bothering anyone" and "we're just having fun".

Is it possible for some of our readers to get vegan nothing burgers? I don't want them to feel like we're not being sensitive to their needs.
