#IPV-BI
from IPV.

feminism, in general, can and has helped in this regard, mostly in the sense that i’ve seen many bi and straight women claim that feminism gave them a stronger sense of self and higher standards which in turn weeded out shitty men from their lives.

Stabiliteit krijg je niet met zo'n onbetrouwbaar sujet als Dilan Yesilgoz, Rob. Echt bizar, dat jullie gekozen hebben om met haar verder te gaan ipv met @jesseklaver.groenlinkspvda.nl . Jullie belonen oude politiek, onbetrouwbaarheid en achterbaksheid. Bi-zar.

"bi people aren't marginalized"... Excuse me non-monosexual women have a 78% lifetime occurrence of IPV, which is the the highest in the broader queer community, which is also a thing the queer community does not give a single solitary fuck about.

Well, sort of. They'll date bi women, but the ipv rates for bi women are fucking nuts: lgbtqipvinstitute.org/support-for-...

High rates of IPV against bi women, for example, should be considered in light of both the specific content of biphobic stereotypes abt honesty, cheating, sexual “availability” etc. AND the finding that bi women are much more likely to have the majority of their friends through their partner. 3/

Like when a cis woman is murdered by a male partner I don't think anyone's keeping tabs on whether she was hetero or bi, but given that we already know that bi women face elevated rates of IPV it kind of follows that we'd also face elevated rates of murder, given that the two are linked.

I actually posted about this right after the first accounts came out. As a bi woman who teaches material on the high rates of IPV against bi women, it suddenly felt super familiar.
August 1, 2024 at 2:49 PM
This isn't just about media, either. Bi/pan/bi umbrella ppl have worse health outcomes and higher IPV rates than gay men or lesbians here in the US. Especially bi women.

Yet we're the biggest percentage of the LGBTQ+ population here. 🤔🙄

I can cite my sources there, yes.
I hate how unless a character explicitly states that they're bi/pan/omni, etc. or is shown dating multiplegenders, people assume they're monosexual and the sexuality that matches the gender of their current partner.

Monosexism is a serious problem and I people would understand that.

honestly. i've been publicly bisexual since i was 14. and even i still sometimes fall into the trap of thinking "oh, it's just queer infighting..."

then i remember the sky high percentage of SA/IPV victimization that studies repeatedly find among bi people, bi women especially

Across three studies, bisexual myths clustered into two dimensions, identity & relationships. Myth endorsement was lower among those w/ bi acquaintances, higher w/ religiosity & conservatism, & among bi people, internalized myths were linked to greater psychological IPV perpetration. #BiStudies

I need to pull up some of those reports about IPV rates and job discrimination for bi men b/c the idea the author has that bi men get to enjoy the full fruit of heteropatriarchy is dead wrong

In case you missed it, @cesopenko.bsky.social delivered a wonderful keynote: "IPV and Brain Injury: The Current State of the Science" at the 2024 ENIGMA IPV & @pinkconcussions.bsky.social IPV-BI Conference!

She highlighted current knowledge, emerging research areas & the importance of collaboration

More useful information when engaging in this discussion.

Bisexual women are almost twice as likely as heterosexual women to experience IPV/DV and SA from an intimate partner.

A recent Teen Vogue piece explores the reasons this alarming statistic holds true.

Almost half (44%) of Canadian women experience intimate partner violence (IPV), and many will sustain brain injury (BI) as a result. Yet IPV-BI often goes unrecognized and unsupported. At SOAR, we explore, educate, and empower—because what is missed cannot be treated. #IPVBI #FactFriday

Concussions are common in sports like hockey, but also affect survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV). IPV survivors with brain injuries face higher risks of additional injuries, leading to more severe, lasting symptoms and potential neurodegenerative conditions. #SOAR #IPV-BI

👋 folks! My name is Sam (she/her) and I am a first-year PhD student at UF 🐊. My research interests are at the intersection of IPV and BI in women and SGM victims/survivors. Excited to find my niche during my course of study! #HiSciSky #AcademicSky #PhDSky #feministscholars #WomenInSTEM 🛟

there is a unique and terrible kind of isolation that comes w it that frequently leaves bi women in particular more susceptible to abuse and violence (eg. our IPV stats being so brutal), but being visibly queer is smt so fraught and dangerous atm and we are essentially on our own w that.
