We Are Not A Trend.
We Are Not Just Statistics
It sickens me to see researchers labelling bisexuality as a ‘trend.’
It sickens me even more to see sexuality used as statistics to measure this so-called trend in research.
Please read this article I read on Microsoft Start
I think this is a very badly worded article, and from my perspective, it stigmatises the LGBT community.
It refers to bisexuality as a ‘behaviour.’
I do not look at my sexual orientation as a behaviour. My sexuality is a part of me. My attraction to both men and women is based on physical sexual feelings, emotional feelings, and hormones.
My behaviour is the way I act, such as being polite to other people or doing something that is right or wrong.
Using sexuality as a measure of statistics is wrong. It’s treating us like some lab rat in a scientific study, though we are not lab rats, and we are not statistics. We are human beings, real people with real feelings.
How come heterosexuals are not treated in the same way? I wouldn’t treat heterosexuality as some experiment just because I thought it deviated from social norms, so why are we treating the LGBTQ community like they are some science experiment?
I don’t come across any experiments on the web that look into heterosexuality in the same way or treat it as ‘another statistic.’
It may be that people are trying to get an understanding of the LGBTQ community, but it is treated very differently to heterosexuality.
Nobody sees heterosexuality as a trend. They accept it to be ‘normal’, but when you come out as transexual, bisexual, Gay, Queer or any other sexual orientation, then people have to pick it apart because, in their world, it isn’t viewed as a social norm
People talk about accepting different genders and different orientations, yet still, we are seen as trends or some supernews.
It is good that the world is trying to accept us, but it isn’t good that we are made to feel like an experiment. It is treating us like we are less than human and seen as having abnormal feelings/behaviour.
It is time for us to be entirely accepted without the stigma or social bias that makes many of us uncomfortable.
There is a misunderstanding in the world that the LGBTQ community is all about sex, though this is not often the case for all of us.
We can love in the same way as any heterosexual couple, and we do fall in love.
Isn’t it about time we were treated just like any other human being, capable of love instead of being treated like some experiment?
