Yep, I am visible today.
I’ve known I was some flavour of non-straight since I was, what, nine? Ten? I assumed I was a lesbian for a long time and was assumed to be one at school; I came to even a pretty minimal understanding of what bisexuality was a lot later than that. At my school, I don’t really think there was a huge clarity in the distinction between sexuality and gender; a lot of the crap that came my way then was sort of overtly homophobic but had a lot of transphobic undercurrents, if that makes sense?
Section 28 *really* did a number on the information available to me as an undiagnosed autistic kid in middleish class Scotland - I think I actually first came across it in one of my Dad’s Robert Silverberg novels when I was about 13, which both scandalised me with its very frank descriptions of p in v sex and utterly intrigued me with a “…so there are people who like, *like* everyone? Is this a thing?”
I don’t think I started really accepting it in myself until I was in my early-mid twenties - there was a lot of stray “you can’t be bi; you have a boyfriend” at uni which made me go around the old and *ridiculously well-worn “am I a lesbian just kidding myself?” wheel quite a few more times.
There was always the *other* thing in there which I know now was gender stuff - and of course neurodivergence is inherently mixed up with that, which is one of the main reasons I’m leaning more and more towards accepting myself as autigender/neuroqueer in gender stuff.
But all that’s for another day. Today is a day I am proud to be able to acknowledge myself as a bisexual person #bivisibilityday 💙💗💜

trying to figure out how to say this delicately. i do think that the pwhl is going to make some progress, and already the support for the league is showing how much of a market there is for women's sports even from a few years ago. but it's kind of been irking me to see so many posts that act like there has never been any arena for women's pro hockey before. like do you understand how many people — how many leagues!! — came before this to even make the pwhl a possibility. do you know how many people have fought tooth and nail for women's pro hockey for DECADES. i'm not saying don't support the league, but don't act like it's the perfect solution to a brand new issue
