Lindsay Ellis was recently in some heat for some comments she made about Disney's new movie, Raya; but part of that so-called "cancellation" brought to light some previous comment she made about bisexual people having "straight passing privilege"- This idea that bisexuals are able to essentially protect themselves from homophobia because they are in relationships that seem heterosexual to others. As a transgender woman who identifies as heterosexual, but prefers dating bisexual men, I have a lot of thoughts about this because I often have felt as though the bisexual cis men I prefer will always ultimately prefer the most socially acceptable option that prevents them from being in a situation where they'd have to defend their relationship with me.
