Two white people grin, close to kissing. One wearing sunglasses and one wearing a partial face mask that frames the eyes. Text: [We do not deny that in actuality some bisexuals /are/ too bound by traditional binary gender assumptions, just as many gay, lesbian, and heterosexual, and some trans people are too. Bisexuals, however, have been in the forefront of exploring desire and connection beyond sex and gender. When anyone accuses bisexuals, uniquely, as more binary and more transphobic than other identity groups, such targeting is not only inappropriate but is also rooted in biphobia -- a fear and hatred of bi people for who we are and how we love.]
