So...
I'm back with Chapter 2.
I did get an amazing invisible response to my first post about this topic so I'm just gonna move on.
I kinda get it, sadly I'm also the kind of person that reads a lot but doesn't have the time/patience to manifest. As long as I see numbers in the "visualizations" category, I'm going to keep this topic alive. I want to help others by also helping myself. I always loved to write and it helps me organize my thoughts.
A simple disclaimer for this chapter, because I feel it might be important: My opinion on this post is going to be based on my life experience as a bisexual in the early 2000's. Not to say that things got any easier, but it was a different time and a different way of thinking. Society was different. Also, I don't want to offend any bisexual that doesn't feel what I feel. When it comes to sexuality things get very personal even in the way of thinking.
Enjoy.

Chapter 2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just gonna rap this up by quoting my favorite bisexual character from a book/tv show, in Alec Lightwood's words, the quite magical Magnus Bane.
The main focus of this post is how I feel excluded from the fight against equal rights.
LGBTQ+ community has been doing amazing things and we have come far.
But the B always felt kinda weird for me.
I came out to myself as bisexual quite early in life. I've always been into boys and every experience I ever had I felt like I wanted and enjoyed it. But I was also not blind to the idea of being extremely attracted to girls.
As I was casually dating a girl, I felt really involved in everything that surrounded LGBTQ+ fights.
When we broke up, for a while I didn't want to settle down with anyone so I was in a "fling" vibe until I met my current boyfriend.
My support is always there for everything that is worth fighting for but I didn't felt "in" the fight anymore. I became a person outside the struggle but fighting side by side, because it's the right thing to do.
That experience is what made me had this feeling that as a bisexual, I have a different level of struggle then the rest of the community simply because one side of my preferences belongs in the "normal standards of society" and that's disgusting to think.
Over all it's the idea that a bi can be hidden from society's judgement because they can be in a different sex relationship.
I never hide what I am but I'm not really bombarded with questions or insults because hey, my partner is a male.
I'm sure there's a lot of things left to say about this but I can always make a 2.0 after.
Right now I think I said everything that I felt in my heart.
I hope I didn't offended anyone with this, It was not my intention.
Again, my opinion and my feelings are my own to deal with and are coming from my life experiences. It doesn't mean in any way that you have to feel the same.

"I'm a freewheeling bisexual"
It's all for now.
Bye!
