During the premature days of social media like MySpace and Facebook, \u201cbi-curious\u201d was the term utilized to describe someone who has a fluid sexual orientation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The term was used partly because the person it described was considered to be either confused or unusual. It was a way to set them apart from everyone else. Consequently, this caused the term to become a laughingstock to the rest of society. People did not take it seriously because they associated it with eccentric individuals who could not make up their minds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a bisexual woman, my label is tied down by its misconceptions. In the LGBTQ+ community and outside of it, it is common for eyebrows to raise at the mention of the term \u201cbisexuality.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One misconception about bixsexual people is that they cheat since they are attracted to two genders. This is a false generalization. No human is immune to being unfaithful, but being attracted to two genders is not an indication that someone is unfaithful. A woman can betray her partner\u2019s trust just like a man or even a non-binary person can. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Humans can cheat and deceive others regardless of their sexual orientation. It\u2019s difficult to obtain a concrete research study about this myth due to the claim being intangible. However, this does not nullify the consensus that it perpetuates harmful stereotypes. Writer for online magazine <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">EverydayFeminism <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eliel Cruz explains that, despite there not being enough evidence that bisexual people are more prone to cheating, when the roles are flipped between a straight or gay\/lesbian couple, the person that was betrayed does not make generalizations about a whole sexual orientation, so bisexuality should not be treated differently.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another misconception about bisexuality is that bisexual people are attracted to non-monogamous relationships. This is also a false generalization. It is true that some bisexual people do partake in polyamorous relationships, but not all bisexual people do. In Lucy Diamond\u2019s 10-year-long study published in 2008, it is stated that 89% of bisexual women were in long-term monogamous relationships. Being involved in either polyamorous or monogamous relationships is a matter of personal preference, not sexual orientation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, another infamous misconception about bisexuality is that it is only a phase, that bisexual people can\u2019t be attracted to two genders simultaneously because sexual attraction is black or white. You are either straight or gay\/lesbian. You can\u2019t be in the middle. You can\u2019t be in the gray area. Therefore, you grow out of it by deciding who you are <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">really <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">attracted to. However, another study indicated that bisexuality is not a transitional period. People who identified as bisexual in their adolescent years rarely wavered, with only eight percent changing their label later on in their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bisexuality is not an excuse to be promiscuous or a compulsive cheater. It is not a phase that people grow out of. It is a valid sexual orientation with psychological studies to back it up, and it should be taken seriously in the 21st <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">century. Hopefully we, as a society, will take a step forward and correct our misconceptions about it.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In pop culture and during the rise of social media, bisexuality has been used as a quirky personality trait to gain attention.
