“Every Girl is Bi?”

The idea that every girl is bi has been gaining traction in recent years, with many claiming that it’s simply a matter of figuring out if it’s polar or sexual. But not everyone agrees with this sentiment. In fact, some are concerned that this new wave of thinking could be damaging to the LGBTQ+ community and its allies. There are those who believe that this notion could lead to an oversimplification of bisexuality and erasure of other identities within the LGBTQ+ community. They worry that people may think they have figured out someone’s sexuality when they haven’t, leading to mislabeling and misunderstanding. This could also create an environment where those who identify as bisexual feel pressure to conform to a certain type of identity in order to fit in with others. Others point out that this idea does not take into account the nuances and complexities involved in understanding one's own sexuality, nor does it recognize the individual experiences each person has when coming to terms with their own identity. Additionally, there are those who fear that by saying “every girl is bi” we may be inadvertently excluding non-binary individuals from the conversation altogether. At the end of the day, it is important for us all to remember that everyone's experience with their sexuality is unique and should be respected as such. We must continue to strive for understanding and acceptance while also recognizing our differences so we can move forward together as a society.
