I'm a woman, and I recently discovered myself two years ago. It's something I've kept to myself a lot because I was kind of traumatized by a past relationship with another woman. It was a traumatic experience for both of us since we were young and teenagers at the time, but that's a story for another time...

What I notice a lot on social media, especially on Twitter, is how bisexual women are often treated as secondary in the sapphic community, as if we're somehow 'lesser' because of it. It's as if truly loving someone of the same sex applies more to homosexual people because they only love women.

This makes me increasingly anxious, and I never feel like I'm enough because of it. I just want to feel adequate, but it hurts a lot. Many women say they prefer to lesbocenter (to focus solely on lesbian experiences), claiming they feel more comfortable because they share similar experiences.

But I rarely see bisexual women saying they only want to be with other bisexual women. I love women, whether they’re lesbian or bi, and if they love and respect me, I’ll love them truly. But this constant differentiation is exhausting. It makes us feel like we’re truly 'lesser.'

I wonder if it’s just me who feels this way? I was so happy when I accepted myself as bisexual, but every day, I feel sad. I feel like we’re constantly reduced — to fetish objects for men and to 'not enough' for some women
