#Also people can be bisexual

'Can 2 men not just be friends?'

Sure they can, infact it's rude to assume they're anything more than that if they're real-life people. Of course, just because it's rude doesn't mean your wrong but as my dad (and lots of other people I'm sure) likes to say, 'assuming makes an ass out of you and me'.

However if the 2 men in this situation are fictional then them just being friends is entirely up to interpretation.

A straight person might just see them as friends because it's content and we all like to see content that represents us -even if they already have abundances of it.

And a queer person might see them as potential lovers, both due to being more open-minded to something like that and because, as I previously said, people like to be represented.

Now I don't mean to say straight people aren't open minded because, fact is, your sexuality does not define how open you are to things. All I'm saying is a queer person is more likely to already be open-minded due to having to realise their sexuality is different from the perceived 'normal' and having to be accepting of it.

So in conclusion, yeah 2 guys can absolutely only be best pals but that might just be how only you see it, and maybe there's something you need to look deeper into if you're getting upset at people interpreting the relationship of 2 fictional guys as romantic.

the 'all marriage is gay as far as im concerned' except its me watching a man and woman character in a show i like and accidentally saying 'theyre so gay' because i literally forget thats not the word for romance because to me all romance is gay

#normally i find the way m/f pairings are written to be really frustrating #not because its like 'i hate straight people' or whatever i literally just want them to actually like each other and communicate #or have an interesting enough dynamic i can stay invested #also i am bisexual and m/f pairings can be nice. but liek they actually have to Be Nice and like eachother or be funny at the very least #txt #scratchpost

Periodic reminder that unless a person specifically and clearly tells you it is okay to tell others they are trans or queer, you should err on the side of caution and assume they do not want you to tell people (especially random people!) about their transness or queerness.

You have no idea, generally, why somebody doesn't talk openly about their trans or queer status, and you have no idea, truly, how somebody might react to that information. The most progressive person out there is still capable of harbouring incredibly negative thoughts about somebody's queer status.

Michael Sheen: Repeatedly mentions his attractions to other men, talks about his first crush being on a man, describes one of his characters as "pansexual," talks about how gorgeous/easy to fall in love with/slinky-hipped David is, and otherwise screams into the universe about being bi without saying the word "bisexual."

Misha Collins: Accidentally "comes out" as bisexual at a convention, then walks it back three days later and comes out as straight.

One of these things is not like the other...

#michael sheen #welsh seduction machine #misha collins #i honestly don't know how people can even make the comparison #i know Misha has said things about his costars as well but there is a difference between wanting to get a rise out of people #versus Michael saying things about David because he literally can't fucking help himself #also take a guess as to which one people are more likely to think is actually bi #despite literally all of the above #i think Michael has been telling us exactly who he is for a long time now #but i will leave it to my followers to make up their own minds #bisexuality #thoughts #discourse

rotating the idea of what kabru's party would be doing post-canon and it's like. i know that one kabru and laios comic establishes that rin sticks around and likes marcille enough to sit and be hanging out with her on the side

underrated how sweet that is. elves have been fucking horrible to rin her entire life and she's a self-taught mage that magic academy graduates look down on. you'd think that marcille is the Prime Example of things that she hates but like... we all know how that probably went down. marcille, a half-elf, fawning over how good she is at magic despite having to teach herself with no guidance, complimenting her hair, and rin going ????????? help

#dungeon meshi #dungeon meshi manga spoilers #marcille donato #rinsha fana #i get the people who ship the two of them now. i get it #the idea of marcille being rin's bisexual revelation is so funny and cute #she expects marcille to be a bitch to her but surprise! #marcille is a girl's girl who recognizes talent and hard work for what it is and also hates how cruel elves can be

so apparently. dc editorial/carmine infantino decided bruce wayne was gay. in the early 1970s. and then every single bronze age writer proceeded to ignore it. no one actually followed through. if elliot s! maggin's recollection from 40 years later is accurate.

“No you don’t understand, Elliot,” Archie interrupted me. “This morning Bruce Wayne was a millionaire playboy who wasn’t gay, but now he is gay.” “Really?” I said. “Yeah,” Julie said. “So from now on Bruce Wayne is gay, until further notice.”

#bruce wayne #im hollering. discoveries you can only make at 1:45am on a monday while looking for something else. im. this is surreal. #'until further notice' well no further notice was given!!!! so!!!!!!!! thanks julie!!!!!!!!! taking this and running with it!!!! #they targeted him with the engayification rainbow beam but he did a batman and juked it. sad! #the truly fascinating thing here is that this was in an effort to differentiate the batman and bruce wayne personas #so in making bruce wayne gay...would that mean that they were going to make batman straight. in what world #well. gay bruce persona + straight batman i think = bisexual bruce. love wins. (i am bisexual i can make that joke) #thank you es!m for writing the best superman stories and also revealing this in the backwater nook of quora. truly he keeps on giving #'no one followed through' actually doug followed through in wf289 but the people aren't ready for that conversation

h-how do you ever finish any of your work? genuine question because you seem to be productive despite your agreste syndrome and I need to learn your ways. but also how do you ever finish any of your work

unclear. last night i stayed up and finished a report worth 25% of my grade at about 5am, arrived on time for my 9am lecture, and spent about half of it zoned out while thinking about seventeen year old emilie agreste. and i was one of the most active participants in the class discussion

#in some ways it IS the move to go to grad school right out of undergrad #because your body can still sort of operate like a college kid #i’m on about 3ish hours of sleep rn and this morning it felt SO over but now i’ve eaten something and we’re so back #i also don’t really do caffeine. except sometimes i’ll go get one of those panera death lemonades #i might be able to snag a short nap before work #but anyway about seventeen year old emilie. i was thinking abt how she was in that movie solitude and adrien said she was seventeen #WAIT. NO. HE SAID SHE WAS SEVENTEEN IN THAT PHOTO ON HIS DESKTOP NOT IN THE MOVIE #well. okay whatever i’m gonna tell you what i was thinking about anyway #OKAY i’m back i just checked the wikipedia page and then i watched the end of gorizilla. to make sure i’m not lying. because i’m normal. #anyway i was thinking about the solitude film and how it’s super rare and old and obscure and whatever. and how apparently #emilie wrote it herself and andre produced it #and i’m thinking about how gabe was discovered by audrey and that’s how he got his start in the fashion industry #so now i’m like?? did gabe and emilie first meet on the set of solitude? because gabe was designing costumes or whatever? #and that’s how audrey found him? have people already thought about this?? #also i just checked and it doesn’t say emilie’s last name in the credits and also it’s ‘graham films’ with the twin rings logo m #so i’m assuming she’s still emilie graham de vanily at that point #anyway it comes back to seventeen year old emilie because i started imagining seventeen year old runaway emilie having her new life in pari #after escaping her british nobility life #and the first thing she does is write and star in an original movie. of course. #and she meets this repressed bisexual punk upstart costume designer who is so the opposite of everyone she’s ever known #and he’s immediately so unhealthily obsessed with her. which she appreciates. #and then they proceed to have the most toxic doomed evil relationship of all time #also she gets cheated because once gabe gets money he represses himself SO hard that he is now exactly like all the people emilie grew up w #but at least he’s still obsessed with her #this is what i was thinking about during class today. i don’t know how i get anything done either. #ml #anna rambles #asks

Forget about the stereotypes, the most annoying thing about being aroallo (specifically arobi) is having two super aesthetic pride flags who's color schemes don't go together.

Why am I here, just to suffer (and commit crimes against color theory)?

While I do think the internet has the unique opportunity to amplify brain-poisoning, I wish discourse wasn’t so heavily split into “online vs irl” when it’s much more an issue of…exclusionary politics and idpol hierarchy brainrot.

“This doesn’t happen offline” the problem is, it does. Because people who captain themselves the arbiter of validity on tumblr dot org are possibly also going to be a self-righteous dorkass at your DEI training, or when organizing lesbian night at the bar, or being president of a queer org on campus, or running LGBT orgs people rely on for survival. Many of the most exclusionary queer spaces were made offline first. Offline spaces organized by young folks from online spaces with no grasp of offline history are going to be just as rife with “terminally online” takes as any website.

Your local steel mill line is both likely to be violently homophobic out of bigoted ignorance AND supremely immune to microidentity politics because it means absolutely nothing to Joe Factory, who will shrug and go “hey man whatever makes you happy.”

Your liberal arts college is both likely to be aware of the niche politics of queer identity and will have heard of and be welcoming to your set of neopronouns AND will find new and cruel ways to be bigoted while smiling in your face because their flavor of queer is celebrated by the city mayor and so LGBT-phobia (please don’t say q***r) ended with marriage equality.

LGBT community that refuses intersectional lenses will always be rife with bigotry, both directed at minorities within this space and indirectly hitting people they think belong (ie assigning masculinity to Black queer women due to racism but then also exhibiting butchphobia/antimasculism at all masculine women, man-hating directed at cis men to “punch up” being weaponized against trans folks, etc)

Cishet society is still not safe for LGBT people, but has gotten better in some areas and worse in others as visibility has increased. Which means micro-infighting potentially is a non-issue in a space that is tolerant to other (more visible) forms of queerness, AND if there is a problem there with family friendly gays and lesbians then they will absolutely take issue with polyam genderfluid aces.

“In real life” has near nothing to do with it. If your space, online or in real life, is neither radically intentionally inclusive or tolerantly indifferent it’s gonna be bigoted—intentionally or not, queer or not.

#LJsm #‘this doesn’t happen irl’ #elder trans woman at the potluck called herself transsexual and young trans guys pitched a fit #elder trans man at a picnic asked why bother with bottom surgeries that weren’t phallo since #‘everyone’s goal is to look cis’ #he got chewed out by younger trans guys #went to a lesbian night at a bar that flipped shit over bisexuals being there #know a trans woman who speaks at terf events shitting on trans people #also idk if people forgot but you can still very much get murdered irl #like online has so many issues but that doesn’t make offline easy either—especially for folks who cannot even be out as mainstream queers #and none of this is to say ‘oh online is way safer than offline’ #just that the split is misleading because it has less to do with where the space is and more what are the values/goals/tone of the space

Other people have discussed this more eloquently, but the thing people don't always seem to get about "passing" (think "cis passing" or "straight passing", for instance) is that the concept of "passing" relies on more than just appearance.

Take me for instance, where I do pass as a man, but I have never (and will never) pass as a cishet man. People know I am queer, even if they don't see that I am a trans queer man. Passing is more than wearing certain things or saying certain things. My mannerisms are queer, my speech is queer, my inflection is queer, my stance is queer. People pick up on that. There's nothing wrong with me being seen as queer, but I'm still treated like a queer man, for better and worse. It seems that people forget that, you know?

My point is that passing is very conplex, nuanced, and individual. I use myself as an example, but that by no means indicates that I have a standard experience. I've noticed, however, that many people have over-generalized these conversations, and I think that doesn't do us - as a community - a service.

#lesbian #gay #bi #bisexual #trans #transgender #queer #lgbt #lgbtq #that's why the whole 'bi people ALWAYS pass as straight' and all that doesn't make sense... #...because even the cis bi people i know still are noticably queer. even if you don't know HOW they are queer you can pick up on it #i don't contend that i pass as cis in most *social* settings but i also don't pass as not queer #and there are PLENTY of instances where i literally CANNOT pass as cis OR het #such as going to doctors/voting/using banks/getting my testosterone/flying and having a passport #interactions with police/going through college and rooming/getting an apartment/applying for jobs and keeping a job #i cannot pass as anything other than a trans male and all the things that may arise from that - good AND bad #so my experiences are not one of always passing and that's something i have noticed a lot even from other trans people who regularly pass #this isn't trying to be a doomer or anything - i'm trying to be realistic about my experiences and some other experiences i have noticed #ftm #mtf #nonbinary

if you exclude bi people they get to bisect you. if you exlude pan people they get to deck you with a frying pan. if you exclude poly people they get to rip you up like polystyrene. if you exclude omni people they get to whack you over the head with an omnibot. we're not just called mspec because we're a spectrum of multiple forms of attraction to multiple genders, it's because we have multiple ways to beat your ass if you try and invalidate us

#personal crap #mspec #bisexual #pansexual #polysexual #omnisexual #the poly thing also applies to polyamorous people but they can be gay so i don't wanna box them in as mspec #also if you're bi and think it's the only 'real' mspec identity we will all join forces to beat you up like that one jojo gif

martinsharmony replied to your post "UMMMM DOCTOR AGREEING WITH DONNA SAYING ISSAC…"

I've saved this post until I watched all 3 specials. HOLY SHIT FIRE I agree that it feels like a lighted path @ingravinoveritas. I feel like the whole thing was made for David. They chose HIM for a reason. Or maybe he chose IT? There couldn't be a more perfect person for this. It must have felt SO important, for a variety of reasons. The whole thing to me seemed to bring Dr Who into the present day. Very now. Very relevant. And just think how much it must mean to Wilf <3

@martinsharmony I have an Ask waiting in my inbox that will allow me to talk more about this, but in brief: There have been a lot of people in the fandom on Twitter attacking Michael--and by extension David--lately, and one thing that has incensed me beyond measure is seeing someone say David (and Georgia) never cared about queer rights until they had a LGBTQ+ child. While I can't confidently speak to Georgia's stance, I feel very strongly that that is definitely not at all the case with David. This is something I have felt for a long time now, but most especially since hearing him on that podcast last year: That having an LGBTQ+ child has made David significantly more vocal about queer rights, but it was far from what made him start caring about it in the first place.

Listening to that podcast now, in the context of the DW 60th anniversary specials--specials we knew nothing about at the time the podcast aired, but that David did know about--makes things even clearer. It's not about acknowledging that the Doctor is queer, or downplaying what happened in those specials because "the Doctor has always been queer." It's about this iteration of the Doctor being able to acknowledge it. It's about David, who played (arguably, as far as I'm aware) the most popular modern incarnation of the Doctor, openly being not straight on international television. Even if it was something as casual as saying Isaac Newton is hot, the entire point is that it was something he couldn't have said while playing Ten all those years ago.

It's also my understanding that other DW actors were approached for the specials but declined to take part (someone please correct me if I have that wrong, though), but as you said, it genuinely feels like the whole thing was made and meant for David. That in this particular time and cultural climate--which is, in some ways, more difficult and less safe to be queer in than 15 years ago--and after having played Crowley for two seasons of Good Omens, it was David who was tasked with bringing DW into a new era. It was David who Russell trusted to help the audience understand why it mattered, because he knew David already understood why.

Maybe David understood because he knew what it would mean to Wilf, or because he came to discover what it meant to himself--or both. The entire point is that something lead him to this lighted path, and now he knows it's there and that he has the choice to follow wherever it may lead. It's also that there are countless queer kids and teenagers who watched those 60th anniversary specials who are now going to feel safe being themselves because of David, just as watching Doctor Who as a child made him feel safe to be himself. And I can't think of anything more beautiful than that...

#martinsharmony #reply post #david tennant #soft scottish hipster gigolo #doctor who #doctor who 60th anniversary #tenth doctor #or Fourteen #also i think being Fourteen made David feel safe to be himself as an adult #in a different way than watching as a kid #but no less powerful #and we can see the change in him on the inside and outside #i just hope he is happy and safe and accepted for who he is #let people be who they are #bisexuality #thoughts #discourse

I wish ppl would stop commenting on my post about the lgbtwords carrd specifically mocking it saying the t slur is transfem exclusive because like, I disagree with the very premise of the whole thing and don't want to seem like I'm defending any part of it, but seriously? that's like the least egregious part, because it's true that trans women are the primary targets of that slur. when the average casual transphobe thinks or says tranny they are imagining something specific. specifically transfeminine. saying this alone is not saying that trans men don't face discrimination, it's just acknowledging the truth of what this word means and it feels like a denial of transmisogyny to not acknowledge that there is at the very least a significant disparity in how the word is applied.

#there are several things in that carrd that are far more egregious like their flimsy logic of claiming the d slur comes from aave and thus #non-black lesbians can't say it at all #(or any bisexual woman for that matter) #and stating poof isn't really a slur. okay bud maybe not where you're from lol #but also I disagree with the whole premise of people positioning themselves as authorities of who can say what so I feel as though I can't #address this in the replies. I wish ppl would just shut up about it can you let a joke be a joke maybe #make a serious post if you want to seriouspost ffs
