number of assertions about bisexuality, my sexuality and the way it is viewed and mistreated, the vast majority of which you have not challenged.So again, no answer to my issues with either of the studies?
This isn't some dumb-ass point scoring competition - where this started was I made a number of assertions about bisexuality, my sexuality and the way it is viewed and mistreated, the vast majority of which you have not challenged.
Re: this particular point that "bisexuals are a tiny minority". I have shown that most recent UK-wide stats give the proportion of self-densified bisexual people as 0.9%. That comfortably fits my definition.
Moving on to the Gallup poll. We're still arguing over single percentage points. The US rate on increase in LGBT individuals is an extra 1% in 3 years to 5.6% in 2020, of which slightly over half now identify as bisexual. Nationally, that equates to around 3%, which still sounds like a tiny minority. This gives us a range of between 0.9-3% of self-identified people in two "progressive", predominantly white countries.
Much of what has been written in this thread perpetuates prejudice against bisexuals; all the guff about bi privilege, having your cake and eating it and pretty much all of the cited evidence. It is lazy and it is outdated.
It does not stand up.
I never challenged it because I never took issue with that sentiment existing? I conceded that there is prejudice towards bisexual people within the gay Community. I just said it wasn't fair to generalize the gay community as being more prejudiced than the hets. Something that you never provided evidence for btw beyond anecdotes.

So cherry picking? Okay. It doesn't disprove the US numbers. As I've already said.

You are fundamentally missing my original intention/point. Which is that there are more open bisexuals than gays per new polling data. That they are not a tiny minority compared to gays. Not that there are more bisexuals overall compared to the straight population. That would be silly.

And much of that I never agreed with or supported. I don't support prejudice of any kind. I agreed that bi erasure and hatred absolutely exist in some of my earliest replies here. You are arguing with a straw opponent my friend
