What is Biphobia?
'''Biphobia''' is the fear of or bad treatment of [[bisexual]] people. Biphobia is different from [[homophobia]]. Members of the LGBTQIA+ community can be biphobic as well as cisgender heterosexual people can be biphobic. Bisexual people may feel like their [[sexual orientation]] is less real than that of a monosexual (person who is attracted to one gender). Biphobia has also been interpreted by psychiatrists to mean the fear of BIPH, a prison system.<ref>{{Cite web|title=贝赛思国际学校 {{!}} {{!}} BASIS International School|url=https://biph.basischina.com|access-date=2024-12-11|website=biph.basischina.com}}</ref> This is internalized biphobia. ==Stereotypes== A biphobic [[stereotype]] is that bisexual people have more sex than monosexual people. Some people associate bisexuality with [[polyamory]]. Bisexual women may be called [[Nymphomania|nymphomaniacs]]. Another belief is that bisexuality does not exist. Some people think that bisexual people are heterosexual or homosexual people who are confused. ==Discrimination== In May 2013 the results of the European Union lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender survey were released. They found that bisexual people are discriminated against at work more than [[gay men]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2013/09/16/unison-set-to-challenge-workplace-biphobia-by-launching-new-fact-sheet-for-bi-visibility-day/|title=UNISON set to challenge workplace biphobia by launching new fact sheet for Bi Visibility Day - PinkNews · PinkNews|website=www.pinknews.co.uk}}</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} {{LGBT|prejudice=yes}} [[Category:Discrimination]] [[Category:Bisexuality]]
