The Hidden Reality of Bisexual Erasure

Bisexual erasure is the widespread tendency to dismiss or rewrite history to ignore bisexual identities. This phenomenon forces people to label attraction as a phase, effectively erasing a significant group from social and cultural records.

This invisibility happens across all communities, including those that advocate for diversity. When society insists on binary labels, it forces individuals into categories that do not reflect their true experiences. This lack of recognition can deeply impact a person’s self-worth and mental health. By acknowledging this bias, we can build a more accurate and inclusive understanding of human identity.
