hey, i hope it was okay that i added a background circle with a shade of purple exactly in-between the two you used! i just felt it looked a little too simple, so for fun i wanted another slight detail:
i also made versions with the classic double moons symbol as well!
Biphilia attraction to two or more genders.
The suffix “philia” Greek word means “love, affection”. Philic attraction would mean love (towards two or more genders).
Bi individuals may prefer this term, some because they are variorented, such as gyneromantic androsexuals or androromantic gynesexuals, etc. Biphiliac encompasses all bi-prefixed orientations.
The first flag was based on the gynephilic and androphilic flags, can be used for ambiphilic flag too. The sencond one on the bisexual flag, I would like to make the size of the purple color the same as the others, but it would look like some androgyne flags.
See also: ambiphiliac.
One of my posts about last year's Poison Ivy bi erasure debacle got a like again, and man...
You cannot convince me that fandoms don't have a problem with bisexual people, when the response to a prominent bisexual character seemingly having their bisexuality erased by a new writer calling her a lesbian was calls for celebration, and telling upset bisexual fans to get over it, or trying to gaslight them with claims that "Ivy was never bisexual in the main continuity" despite evidence to the contrary.
Like, fandom has had a biphobia problem for a long time, but I think that incident was probably the most blatant example of it I've ever seen.
can u make barbie a bi butch?? im tryna see sum
What are you asking for? For like an icon of Barbie with the bi butch flag? For a stick figure drawing of Barbie with more visually masculine or butchy clothing? Like do you want me to make Barbie a bi butch like march down to Mattel and create canon bi butch Barbie? Oh if I was a superhero that’s how I’d use my powers :)
do i always add useless extra tags because i don’t realize it’s a reblog rather than an original post (therefore it won’t show up under main search results), or do i just understand that tumblr’s search function on people’s blogs is absolutely broken and want to make my posts more findable to lurkers?

Bisexual Woman flag <3
I chose pink for- not femininity as all women are beautiful whether they’re masculine or feminine- but for femaleness. Purple for sapphicness and womanhood. And green since it’s an international women’s day colour. I am so proud of this flag :)
do u know of any mlm bi terms?? i know this blog is bi wlw focused so if this question is out of line feel free to delete it!!
Hello hello! No worries, this isn’t out of line at all! Tysm for acknowledging my blog is bi wlw focused tho!
Iiiiiii don’t know any :0 AND I took a lookie see on this site AND on Reddit AND Twitter and got nothing :/
I will say tho, are you familiar that sapphic is another word for wlw and achillean is another word for mlm? So bi achillean is a quicker way to say bi mlm right there (not referring to it as an acronym; then it’s shorter to say)
there’s a gorgeous bi achillean flag I saw made by @ akemishka on Twitter!
And there’s this beautiful one by @ryanyflags!
As for any terms, hmmmm… well I have come up with one!
Khonsic! (Pronounced con-sick). It’s kinda the equivalency of Selenic, a term for bi sapphics that I’m obsessed with!
Moon Knight fans will love this lol, so Khonsu is the Egyptian god of the moon! Selenic is derived from Selene, the Greek/Roman goddess of the moon! I figured since moons are so prevalent to bisexual symbolism, keep the theme! I was uncomfortable with the idea of the term for bi men + bi nblm being derived from a goddess, so I googled “male god of the moon” and boo yah!
I stuck the term on the bi achillean flags I showed you!
And then I put some bi men + bi male aligned nonbinary/genderfluid Loki :3
Feel free to use! The icons, the term Khonsic, whatever resonated with you!
