Thank you for making a whole post in response to my comment!

Let me ask - if you're not interested in creating bi community, or bi culture, or figuring out some coherent idea of what it means to be bisexual, what is the point of this newsletter? What's the point of using a label, or looking for visibility, or talking about bi issues, or any of that? We cannot confront biphobia as individuals.

Well, a) that's part of the next newsletter, but b) I don't think that people need to have rules or some discrete culture in order to fight for freedom of self-determination? Nor do I think that there needs to be a discrete and boundaried group known as The Bisexuals™️ in order to fight biphobia because *biphobia effects everyone* (albeit harming bisexuals disproportionately) and thus should be fought *by everyone*. Seems kinda like arguing that you can't fight racism unless you've put everyone into a specific little racial box first, which is ludicrous to me.
