Prefixes


The words of the day were bicurious, bigendered, and biphobia and when I typed them into the computer they are labeled incorrect, why?


  • These words aren't new.
  • Bi- does mean two, as in they like males & females.

So why aren't they recognized as words? That just doesn't seem right does it? They should be treated as real words, equal to all the other words with that same prefix. Just as being a bisexual should be treated as a real orientation ESPECIALLY by other LGBT people with the same stamp of un-approval by society on their forehead. 

Bi•pho•bi•a

The fear of, discrimination against, or hatred of bisexuals, which is often times related to the current binary standard. Biphobia can be seen within the LGBTQIA community, as well as in general society.

Bi•gend•ered

A person whose gender identity is a combination of male/man and female/woman.

Bi•cur•i•ous

A curiosity about having sexual relations with a same gender/sex person.
