Can you name some examples of a way bi people have systemic power over lesbians? I’m struggling to think of some that aren’t just Interpersonal aggression. Preferably ones bi people can access while still being visibly bi because imo it doesn’t count as a privilege if you have to lie and hide yourself to access it (unless you have a reason this isn’t this case which I would love to hear)

tbh if u think being able to pass as het your entire life and being able to comfortably n happily be in a het marriage and enjoy the privileges het people do.... how exactly do you not have systemic power over lesbians? how is that just interpersonal aggression? also:

most bi people don't find their sexuality particularly important to them, there's probably a reason for that which is that many do get to enjoy social benefits and privileges while still being true to themselves (bc they're not somehow going against themselves by acting on their OSA) that gays & lesbians can only get if we completely reject ourselves and live in misery.

this difference is also especially present in more homophobic regions. it's more or less normal in many middle eastern countries for bi people to be with the same sex before getting married bc it doesn't 'count' in many ppls' eyes (sex before marriage isn't acceptable after all) & then to dump their (usually lesbian/gay) same sex partner once it's time to get married. meanwhile gay people are sometimes forced into het marriages simply to maintain some level of safety and security and when lucky, they find another gay person of the opposite sex to marry and have an arrangement with so they don't get harassed by their family and society for being "single" at an older age. these are only the lucky few, the more bleak and frequent reality is that gay people often have to marry someone of the opposite sex who typically will be totally unaccepting of gay people and live the rest of their lives in fear and trying their best to hide their homosexuality.

considering all of this, i don't understand how anyone can argue that there is no power difference between bi people and gay people. look at the current discourse around homosexuality and the whole sexuality is fluid thing going on... look at who has more sway and power when it comes to the conversations.. who can fit into heterosexual society better and who can blend in more easily.. that without a doubt creates a power difference
