Abstract in brief

The study finds that bisexual and nonmonosexual women in the U.S. experience higher rates of intimate partner violence (IPV), especially emotional and sexual abuse, compared to heterosexual women, with nonmonosexual women being particularly vulnerable.
Factors such as having a male abusive partner, greater social power, and identifying as bisexual are linked to increased risk of IPV victimization among nonmonosexual women.
The research highlights the importance of understanding how societal attitudes like binegativity and biphobia contribute to violence, and calls for better data collection to distinguish gender and sexual identity influences in future studies.]

i get what you're saying here, but also: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29294898/ pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC... stacks.cdc.gov/view/cdc/85246 (all studies within the last 4 years) while yes, we aren't being beaten up or killed for being in a visibly "straight" relationship, its still not that simple

@teddy__xcx_ I've talked to people in my community that have been also sexually assaulted directly bc they were bi. There are publicly available statistics having to do with the fact that bisexuals have higher rates of SA than even homosexuals (which I know is crazy) https://t.co/S62ORUJj92 https://t.co/uTC6OGaeR1
