    When I came out to my mom she got me being trans but me being bi was the part that really got her confused 🤷🏼‍♀️

        nah, oddly enough biphobia exists even within the LGBTQ community, it’s baffling.

        in order of difficulty:

        being cis and straight

        being gay

        being bi

        being trans

          Biased a bit, but I’d say that in relatively LGBT friendly places, bi can almost be more difficult than gay at this point. I’ve got family members who can be quite bigoted at times, who have now become totally fine with the various gay people they know, but have openly stated multiple times that bi people are just closeted/experimenting/deviant/etc.

          Likewise, I have a couple of LGBT friends that legitimately get upset at bi people in hetero relationships, because they’re “straight passing”. It’s utterly ridiculous, but definitely a trend I’ve noticed over time.
