Bi erasure isn’t just something in the media: YouTuber Connor Manning revealed that his own therapist tried to convince him he really wasn’t bisexual.
“I spent 30 minutes of a therapy session that I’m paying for convincing someone that I’m bisexual enough to be bisexual.” recalls Manning. “Eventually she came around, but it took way too long to convince her—which I shouldn’t even have to do—that I was bi enough.”
Manning says the experience wasn’t “a massive trauma,” but wonders how someone who wasn’t so secure would feel in that circumstance.
“What if I was someone freshly questioning their sexuality? What if I was me three years ago, when things were really confusing for me?”
In a followup video, Manning recounts some viewers’ responses and says while it was an unpleasant experience, he doesn’t want to discourage anyone from getting counseling.
