What is Bisexuality?

Bisexuality is a label that is often misunderstood and misrepresented, yet it’s an incredibly diverse and valid identity. There are many misconceptions surrounding bisexuality, so it’s important to understand the definition of this orientation so that we can better understand and support those who identify as bisexual. In this article, we’ll explore what bisexuality is and how it’s defined.

What is Bisexuality?

Bisexuality is a complex sexual orientation that has been around for centuries, yet remains largely misunderstood today. Bisexuality has traditionally defined as being attracted to both men and women, but as we understand more about gender, the definition is continuously being expanded. Some people still see bisexuality as an attraction to both men and women, but many people just see it as an attraction to two, or more, genders. It’s clear that bisexuality can mean different things to different people.

It can be nuanced and complicated, with some individuals feeling more attraction to one gender than the other. Attraction is not always an even split. It’s perfectly normal for someone to feel a stronger attraction to one gender over another and still be bisexual.

At its core, bisexuality can simply mean having the capacity and openness to attraction to two or more genders – something we should celebrate! So if you’re unsure about your own sexuality, remember: there’s no wrong way to be bisexual!

Challenges of Being Bisexual

Bi-erasure and biphobia are real and a serious problem. It’s truly a shame that many people still think bisexuality is simply an inability to make up one’s mind or they believe bisexuals are just confused.

This type of discrimination can have very real consequences on the mental health of those who identify as bi+. It should come as no surprise that, as with members of other discriminated against groups, this group faces higher rates of depression and anxiety because of the stigma associated with their sexual orientation. Both heterosexual and gay communities can reject bisexuals and many people of this orientation often feel that they fit in nowhere. It can make many people shy about being open with their sexual orientation.

Bisexuals face discrimination from all walks of life, including other members of the LGBTQ community. There are even some schools of thought that argue for removing the “B” in LGBTQ* from the acronym based on the historical definition of bisexuality being attracted to only men and women.

Awareness & Acceptance

With many people feeling like bisexuals are just confused and unable to make a choice in who they love, it can be difficult for them to find acceptance.

It’s time we become more aware and accepting of the bisexual community. We should leave stereotypes that suggest that bisexuality is simply a phase or an inability to decide between genders behind; instead, let’s focus on encouraging understanding, support, and acceptance of those who identify as bisexual.

Let’s move past outdated ideas about the way people choose to express their sexuality and celebrate individuals who don’t feel confined by labels – especially those relating to gender-based orientation. Bisexuality is real, valid, and worthy of celebration!

Conclusion: Empowering Bisexuals

Bisexuality is real, and we have a responsibility to recognize it. Let’s create an inclusive society where people of all orientations can be their true selves without the fear of judgment or discrimination. We don’t need to limit ourselves by only recognizing two genders – understanding that there is a multitude of gender identities and sexual orientations will only strengthen us. So let’s do our part in creating a world that celebrates diversity in sexuality.

Is Objectification Always Bad?

Is objectification always bad? No, objectification is not always bad. Like so many other things in life, it is how it is used, how people feel about it, and whether or not someone is consenting.

When used in a consensual context, objectification can help people to feel comfortable in their own skin and to feel confident in their own bodies. It can help build self-esteem by providing external validation and connection. Consensual objectification can also help people to appreciate the beauty of the human body.

Can Objectification Ever Be Empowering?

In a culture that is increasingly driven by social media and self-promotion, it is no surprise that people are becoming more conscious of their personal appearance and how they are perceived by others. For some, this can be empowering, as they use their physical appearance to attract attention and admiration.

When we feel good about ourselves and present ourselves in certain ways to the world, whether it’s through our actions or how we dress, it can feel good to have people respond to that. In some cases, it can actually be a letdown if we are trying to impress and no one appreciates it.

The reality is that most often, that response is objectification from the point of view of the beholders. They are in the active act of objectifying the empowered person because most people will not see past their own desires and needs. The appreciation is typically not one that appreciates the whole of a person, just what’s being displayed or shown at that moment. That doesn’t mean that it can’t be empowering for the person being objectified by others. The crucial and critical component here is, as always, consent.

Can Objectification Be Fun and Playful?

For some people, objectification can be a fun form of fetish play. They can enjoy serving as objects in a play context for a short period of time. This can be a way for them to explore their submissive side and to feel sexually excited and desired.

Objectification play can involve being dressed up or made up in a way that makes the person feel like an object, being placed on display, or being used for someone’s sexual pleasure. It can be a very freeing and empowering experience for those who enjoy it.

Once again, the critical component here is consent by everyone involved in this type of play.

Remembering that Consent is Key

Objectification doesn’t always have to be bad but it is only ok when the person being objectified is consenting. This means that they are comfortable with the way they are being treated and are not being forced into anything. If you are unsure, always ask for consent before proceeding. Keeping consent at the center of our interactions with others is how we can build a society where everyone feels safe and valued.

What is Objectification & How Does it Impact Us

In our culture, people are constantly bombarded with images and messages that tell them their worth is based on their appearance and their ability to please others. Cis-gendered women, in particular, are constantly surrounded with images and messages that promote the idea that their value lies in their physical appearance and their ability to please men. This is called objectification, and it’s a real problem. Not only does it lead to unrealistic expectations and body image issues, but it can also have a serious impact on our mental and physical health. It’s time to start talking about objectification and how it can impact us.

What is Objectification?

Objectification is the process of turning someone into an object. This can be done for various reasons, including to make them feel less important, to make them feel more sexual, or to make them feel like they are not in control. When someone is objectified, they are often treated as if they are not a human being, and their feelings and needs are ignored. The person objectifying someone else often completely disregards the person’s identity, personality, and often even their own sense of mind.

When someone is objectified, they are often seen as a one-dimensional object or concept in the eyes of the objectifier. Instead of being a whole person, they become a generalized thing, indistinguishable from others classified in the same group, like an apple or a table. They cease to have any value except for the perceived value or function of use.

What Can Objectification Look Like?

Sadly, someone doesn’t have to look too hard to see examples of objectification. Advertising objectifies women all time by reducing women to sexual objects in advertising to sell. We see this frequently when ads feature only a portion of a woman’s body, highlighting particular body parts only, or when the woman is posed in a hypersexual fashion next to or incorporating what is being advertised. These are the most apparent and easy-to-spot forms of objectification but they have contributed to more commonplace and everyday forms as well.

Objectification can take more subtle forms that occur frequently and are often left unchallenged. Examples can include when women are judged solely on their physical appearance or are treated as if they exist only for the pleasure of others. If you listen to common “locker room talk” banter or what’s considered “appropriate” talk among young cis-gendered heterosexual men about women, the language is rooted in objectification and rarely includes discussing women as real people.

Cis-gendered women are not the only people who end up being objectified, they are simply one of the more widely targeted groups. Anyone of any gender can be objectified and we are starting to see more of this happen to other gender groups.

How Can This Impact Us?

In a world that is constantly telling people that their value lies in their appearance and sexuality, it’s no wonder that so many of us struggle with self-esteem and body confidence issues. Objectification can impact the way we see ourselves, the way we express ourselves sexually, and how we pursue relationships.

When our self-worth is based on how others perceive us, it’s easy to get caught up in a never-ending cycle of comparing ourselves to others and trying to meet impossible standards. This can lead to feelings of inadequacy and worthlessness. We may start to believe that our worth lies solely in our physical appearance and sexual desirability, which can cause us to make unhealthy choices in our quest for validation from others. It can also place barriers that prevent us from developing healthy and fulfilling relationships with others, romantic as well as platonic.

As a society, we also suffer consequences from the ongoing objectifying messages we are exposed to. It’s normalizing and creates more tolerant spaces for that type of thinking and talk. Normalization of these attitudes contributes to sexism and rape culture as well.

Being Mindful of Objectification

In a modern society where objectifying messages are almost everywhere we turn, it’s up to us to be mindful of what media we consume and how that impacts us. We need to remain thoughtful about how things are presented and honest with ourselves on how it’s making us feel. From there we can make decisions about what types of things we will support and play a more active role in our everyday discussions. Being aware is the first step and how we can begin to seize control of how we feel about ourselves.
