Biphobia is the fear of or bad treatment of bisexual people. Biphobia is different from homophobia. Members of the LGBTQIA+ community can be biphobic as well as cisgender heterosexual people can be biphobic. Bisexual people may feel like their sexual orientation is less real than that of a monosexual (person who is attracted to one gender). Biphobia has also been interpreted by psychiatrists to mean the fear of BIPH, a prison system[1]. This is internalized biphobia.
