see bisexuality as not a third thing between gay and straight (not Heterosexual™️) but a continuity between them that cannot be split apart like many a biphobe try to do? Doesn’t seem hard to me. And this is coming from a person who does still call relationships straight or gay/lesbian.

Unidirectional = gay or straight, bi+ ppl are multidirectionally attracted becuz we don’t go with just exclusively gay/straight. Anyways, I did agree with ur point. 🤷🏽‍♂️ My point, expanding, is that we have to fight that but not by folding bi+ ppl back into the binary. Would it not be easy to just-

I don’t get how it’s not clear from watching that the emphasis of drag is the artistry of the costuming and the performance.

Drag is an effeminacy practice. Yes it’s about making a display of the effeminacy but it’s also about the associated pageantry

It's genuinely kind of depressing how much of everything about our culture and the present political moment can draw its roots back to masculinity being fragile 😕

In everyday life with ordinary people on the street or in the home, “hyper-gay” is still the standard classical perception and straight men still have a lot of anxiety about whether attraction to trans women makes THEM gay, and therefore less fully male.

There can be a lot of emphasis on the heteronormativity of transition care standards, like doctors insisting on conforming to heterosexual norms for trans people, but we shouldn’t make the mistake of acting like that context is universal or the most critical situation for trans people’s lives.

This is why it makes no sense to try and explain straight trans women’s lives and choices strictly through heteronormativity—our whole lives are in context to the homophobia embedded in the kind of sexism we experience.

a cis gay man who is violating the codes of masculinity by behaving in a feminine manner (choosing a male partner is viewed by many as feminine behavior) and a straight trans woman who has completed surgical and hormonal treatment.

I need to share the longer article soon but this perception is very much my own experience.

And it’s exactly what I mean about transhet sexuality being seen as hyper-gay and how it amplifies homophobia when you don’t pass.

These “I top men because I’m a misandrist” jokes are as funny as “trans inclusive misogyny”. They point to a contradiction that doesn’t exist

And of course, if you love your dick, all power to you. Just don’t spin a narrative of radicalism around that because that’s the entirety of appeal to chasers.

Penetration-as-power in patriarchy is valid upon first approximation, but honestly you need to add some layers when it comes to trans women

“Patriarchy is afraid of me because I’m a trans woman who LOVES her penis” sure jan, that’s why bottom surgery is expected of trans women and all the trans porn exclusively features trans women with neovaginas

One of those jokes that needs to be retired is the general idea that trans women topping men is somehow any reversal of the patriarchal expectations and power dynamics when that’s what 80% of cis men approaching us want and assume we’ll do by default.

cishet brain. Fr. Lets **** the cishets that live in our brains, including the ones that say or push us to think bisexuality is proximal for Heterosexuality™️. No queer identity is proximal to Heterosexuality™️.

The straight thing yeah cuz cishets are derogatory but if you as a queer person with a unidirectional attraction are believing and also perpetuating the idea that bisexuality is more proximal to Heterosexuality™️ than queerness becuz you focus on the different gender attraction bit, that does give-

lesbian frotting. gay guys calling themselves butch again. everyone has carabiners. straight sex no longer has a meaningful definition. this is the future we can have if we exercise the courage required.

"can a (cis) man and woman ever have queer sex?" we're asking the wrong questions, here, people. we need to start asking ourselves whether or not gay men can do yuri and lesbians can do yaoi. that's the future.

ive noticed something snaps in people's minds when you point out that "liking women is gay" in our patriarchal society. that is to say, treating women as humans, keeping women at the center of your life & relationships, being close w/ women, etc, socially codes you as an effeminate or as a tribade

"male characters should be sexualized as much as female characters" actually male characters should always be drawn as some guy and female characters should be drawn with every possible body type ever and be drawn in 100 fun outfits and scenarios

More than 80% of recruiters admit to posting ‘ghost jobs’ to juice their talent pool and business reputation Companies are trying to improve their reputation at the detriment of job-seekers.

Ghost jobs are a real danger for people living paycheck to paycheck. Someone teetering on the edge of poverty may spend precious hours, transportation money, and emotional energy applying to positions that don’t exist or are already filled.

I imagine it’s the same reasons why it’s resurged in tme ppl. Everyone yearns for separatism and exclusion but the only way to do that without repeating history is to work on making the space as trans inclusive and sexually inclusive as possible so misogynistic erotophobic losers leave on their own.
