#and also bisexual people exist

[funkycarabiner]

lesbians get to say "we're gfs/wives" and gay men get to say "we're bfs/husbands" but straight people are stuck saying "we're bf AND gf" or "we're husband AND wife" like LOSERS!!!

#ok i dont think all straight people are losers #and id like to clarify not everyone who identifies as gay or lesbian wants to use gendered terms like gf/bf/wife/husband #and also bisexual people exist #but anyways joke post heres some more tags #lesbian #lesbians #wlw #sapphic #dyke #queer #lgbt #lgbtq #gay #bi #bisexual #homosexual #pride

It’s kinda funnee that so many ppl are surprised that ur a cis woman bc it’s right there in ur pinned post, but also. I’m kinda dying laughing over how many people not only assumed your gender anyways, but also assumed how you got there 😂 like it’s already a thing to go “woah wait ur [this gender] not [that gender]??” But another thing entirely to go “Woah Wait You’re Not [Gender] On Purpose?????”

Genuinely funny and light hearted I’ve just never really seen people assume someone else is trans based on nothing LMAO

just my unparalleled tboy swag I guess

#the vibe also seems to be that I’m gay/bisexual depending on the anon #honestly I’m just enjoying the fact I as a character exist in people’s heads enough for them to make assumptions about me #it’s fun

I have so much brainrot about Medic's wife, specifically the design from the comic doodles that Makani drew, I'm so ready to draw a whole comic about her, man I love hallucinating.

#60 seconds till mission begins rambles #But also I have so many things to do I could cry #I don't like engaging in fights about which ships are valid in the eyes of canon etc #I've seen many people try to ignore medic's wife's potential existence because it would invalidate the possibility of him being gay #insisting the doodles were drawn before Makani joined Valve; and Demo's domination line just being gibberish etc etc #That's sad to me because I think she's a REALLY cool character and I cry about her never ever coming to the official material #So listen to me; headcanon; what about #He's bisexual (and discovers he has a preference for men) #boom #we win🏳‍🌈 #also the doodles where his wife appears are the same doodles where he's smooching heavy so why are you only reading half of the scriptures? #I'm just foaming at the mouth about the idea of Medic having a female best friend who he married and who understands him in a different way #I just like the idea of both of them being opportunistic and marrying for the societal benefits a marriage gave you back in the days #and like being the only other person to have enough blackmail material on the other #Ok no I cant talk more about this I'll give away the entire story I have in my head

just bc im a lesbian doesnt mean tht i wont at times become deeply entranced with the beauty of male actor or character. it just means i wld rather be locked in a room with a man with a knife than do anything romantic or sexual with one

#NO OFFENCE TO MEN AS PEOPLE THAT EXIST. but also i shldnt have to say tht after saying this yk #also b4 u say ooh ur aro tho why do u need to specifcy u wldnt do anything romantic w a man when i wldnt with a woman either #i am actually pretty romance favorable. like i would be in a romantic relationship with a woman if it wldnt ruin my life #with how it is rn . i think i like and want all the parts tht make up a romantic relationship i just dont experince romantic attraction #but anyway i was here to talk abt my sexuality not my romantic orientation #this post was originally like 'im remembering why there was such a huge overlap with my og major starkid hyperfixation #and me identifing as bisexual' but the thing is is the main main guy from starkid i remember being attracted too #was infact . rob. and thats aged badly bc of it being revealed that hes a fucking creep since then #but also just now not that we should ignore tht but regardless of that i just. dont see it at all #maybe it is that news subconsiously turning me off him but i really dont see that much what i liked abt his appearance #but who rly inspired this post to me is infact . jeff blim ? which is suprising just from the fact tht i dont ever remember #having tht big of a crush on him with that og starkid hyperfixation. but well he is a very beautiful man . giggling a little bit. sorry . #also becoming a bit obsessed with joey richter but thts just standard lesbian obssesion with a weird little man #not attractive to me im just obssesed with him. hi #also posting this now so when i finally watch the fnaf movie i can rb it abt josh hutcherson #anyway. does anyone read these tags do these long rants i go on like. turn ppl off of my posts. sometimes i wonder #flappy rambles

ANYWAY. "I don't like m/f relationships being explored in fiction because they aren't queer :(" Is the absolute coldest take, for one straight trans people exist, for another I am a whole bisexual woman, if I ever date a man, that is not going to be a "cishet relationship" because I am not and never will be "straight" thanks for your time.

#ALSO very interesting to me how this idea that we need to prioritize media about queerness is almost ALWAYS focused on m/m and not f/f #(and rarely ever about trans people) #y'all really forget that queer women exist don't you #ANYWAY #my favorite ship of all time involves a CANONICALLY BISEXUAL woman and a man #my current ship obsession involves a CANONICALLY BISEXUAL woman and a CANONICALLY GENDERFLUID character who #looks like what general society considers to be 'a man'

[bitsofsciencelife]

Asexuality and aromanticism show the radical notion that not all love is sexual or romantic. That platonic and familial love is just as important, and other types of love and emotions we have no name for. And that they're not mutually exclusive. Love isn't a zero-sum game! It can all coexist. Redefining love is what aspecs do.

And I think this romance-and-sex-obsessed society needs that.

#how can that not be queer? #ace aro people redefine love by simply existing #not to mention we also overlap with other queer identities #grey bisexuals like me #isn't diversity part of what lgbtqia represents? #love is human but it's also not just sex #it's mire than that and less than that #asexual #ace #aro #aromanticism #aromantic #lgbtqia #lgbtq+ #i hate when people remove the ia or + btw #queer #redefining and expanding what love means #that's what queer means right #or it should #love isn't a zero sum game either #you can have all types of love in your life #one form isn't more important or a replacement for another #and if you want to redefine love by getting rid of the tern itself #go for it #ofc love doesn't encompass the whole of human existence

that one bozo who made the gender swapped dame aylin mod: it's unrealistic for minorities to exist in this game because it's supposed to take place in medieval europe!!!!

aasimar, vampires, devils, and dragons aside....

bg3:

#bg3 #thoughts about media #where's the outrage over the existence of a 1950s québécois dish in a medieval european setting? hm?? #canada...canada doesn't exist in the forgotten realms. the land which this country occupies does- but the concept of the nation does not. #also! in the forgotten realms- bisexuality is the canonical norm and gender is much more complicated than just a clear cut binary. #several races have words in their languages specifically for transgender people. #and it's not viewed as strange in any way for someone to be transgender. transition is also super easy- as magic exists. #in fact. it's very probable that dame aylin CHOSE the form of a woman. based on what I've read- the divine can easily change their form. #and devils are all varying flavours of non-binary. primarily genderfluid it seems. it's totally normal for them to change form and pronouns #the majority of elven societies practice total gender equality- they do not see one gender as better/worse than the other in any way. #and bg3 actually does reflect the forgotten realms canon. pretty strongly. in this respect. #the illithid are genderless and referred to as such. your elven companions are all bisexual & polyamorous... #...duke stelmane has this title because it's a canonically genderless title. there is no use of sorceress/wizardess for the same reason. #and of course- your player character can swap gender & pronouns midway through the game and no one will care. at all. #like. for all the terrible problems with the forgotten realms- it's become FAR more aware of the fact that it's ridiculous for... #...a fantasy world to restrict gender and sexuality in the all-encompassing & discriminatory way that bigots demand. #also this isn't ammunition for anyone to pick on people who have lesbian/gay or straight tavs or durges. #my own main tav is a gay man.

kinda want the netflix writers to spite the homophobes and biphobes and make min ho bi next season

#or dae idrc but they’d be more pissed ab min ho #xo kitty #min ho #‘theyre forcing the gay agenda’ bitch this is like. the third very clearly canon bi girl i’ve seen #(there’s also lok but less clear) #like. oh my gosh let people be bisexual #and i would get it if people took more issue with other aspects of the show (which i can’t comment on considering my background) #but no. it’s that a girl can swing both ways. ugh. #so yeah make min ho bi season 2. don’t care if he does or doesn’t end up with kitty just let bi people exist #like half of my high school friend group was #bc also!!! queers tend to flock together. it makes sense if one of the other guys is queer

...you know what, I don't think I've ever seen someone talk about this, so why not. Sometimes it feels like a lot of the queer community sees any relationships that happen to be m/f as only capable of, like, shitty walmart-brand knockoff queerness, instead of Real True Queerness. It's "boring". It's "doesn't really count as bi/pan/omni rep", in media. So many posts and essays out there still have to constantly reiterate that 1) bi people exist, and 2) they're still bi and queer even if they're in hetero relationships--just the fucking baseline concepts! And I'm tired of having to defend or be expected to apologize for relationships like mine, instead of being able to actually...y'know, celebrate them. So, here: I actually fucking love being a bisexual guy in a hetero relationship. (Especially with someone who's also mspec.) -> I love that we get vicarious joy from each other's wildly different genders and ways of of experiencing attraction. -> I love that she thinks my attraction to guys is something to cherish, and something she's always trying to learn how to be a better ally for. I love learning about her aceness, and what attraction to femininity looks like for her. -> I love that she also knows what it's like to adore and be attracted to guys, even if her experience of it is different from mine, and I love that she knows firsthand how it feels to have a lady take your breath away, because it makes it all the easier for her to believe me when I tell her that's how I feel about her. -> I love that it kinda feels like we're a whole bunch of different types of relationship all at once: we're gay as fuck, we're disgustingly straight, we're sapphic as hell, we're so far off the screen that we've wrapped all the way around and become straight-but-genderswapped all over again. To put it as simply as I can: I don't feel erased, I feel seen.

#S.txt #been thinking about how to put it into words for a while now #this is a thing that means a lot to me #I'm not trying to pretend that all the cisheteropatriarchy bullshit doesn't exist btw because it sure as hell does #I know that heterosexuality is normalized and privileged in like 99.9% of society #this is a post about queer people in the queer community #and how I have felt about the way people like me and relationships like mine are thought of *in the queer community* #which I am a part of #not only because I am personally queer as fuck #but also because relationships like mine are legitimately part of the queer experience #and I feel like I don't get to hear that said very often #especially as more than just an afterthought #bisexual

i didn't block you because of your stupid ship, i blocked you because you're a fucking asshole. hope this helps!

#i was going to get into it in a longer and nicer post #but you are so clearly beyond help and i'm not in the business of putting in the time and effort #of reaching out to someone who makes nonstop wild and unsubstantiated accusations about other people #and receives every attempt to reach out to you in good faith in the most hostile manner possible #also 'straight ships' BISEXUAL PEOPLE EXIST OH MY FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO #IT'S NOT ABOUT YOUR FUCKING SHIPPING PREFERENCES YOU DOLT #look inward. jesus CHRIST #ky posts text

.. what do you mean there’s a potter more article that basically says he’s an incel???

Pottermore has a bio about Remus and there's a part in it where he's bitching to Tonks about Sirius and complaining that "he always got the women" lmao as if Remus is even into women in the first place.

#bi people exist but remus lupin isn't one of them #sirius IS a chaotic bisexual though and always got dates so remus is right about that #but him being bitter about it is a big yikes like grow up my dude #also i know this against my will #it's not like i ever have voluntarily visited pottermore in my life

sorry I will not shut up about this show But. I just. wanted to mention how fucking cool it is that ok ko has a major bi character in it (a bi man at that) that has important on-screen romantic relationships portrayed with both a female partner and a male partner and neither is considered less legitimate than the other. his orientation isnt pointlessly called into question or suggested to have been faked or changed for ending up with a man when he was previously with a woman. It’s just natural, and so one doubts that he was once romantically interested in/involved with carol just because he ended up with boxman. and I think that is very cool and something I feel like I super rarely see with bi characters– when bi characters are represented I feel like it’s pretty common to only have them shown romantically involved with one gender or another and it’s more of a side note that they also like people outside that gender, or they’re portrayed as “confused” or god forbid suggesting their feelings for someone weren’t really real because they ended up with someone of another gender (not to be confused with comp het; in that case the individual isn’t bi and that’s different). And so having a children/family show that has two solidly bi characters first of all, and one who’s a grown adult who’s had established relationships with two genders on screen is just honestly really cool and I appreciate that so much

#kibumblabs #ok ko #ok ko spoilers #also I emphasize that he’s a Man in that first part because bi men are doubted so fucking often over their orientation and hardly #openly represented on tv– let alone childrens tv– at all. I’ve been told irl that bi men don’t actually exist and that in the end they #end up gay or straight becuase that’s what they Actually Are. #which is obviously fucked up on many levels and blatantly false #so yeah like!!! seeing a grown man who’s obviously not ‘confused’ and who isn’t questioned over falling for a woman then a man is just!!!!! #it’s very good it’s very good it’s very good #i love the purple bisexual snake man so much <3 #long post #professor venomous #ok ko let's be heroes #there’s also no obvious coding of the queer characters in queer relationships to fit them into a masculine or feminine role if that makes #sense which is also cool. #like you don’t see red or enid and think one is in the Woman’s Role and one is in the Man’s Role– they’re both just. themselves. #same goes for pv and boxman; both are just. dudes. weird mutant dudes but dudes. with some traits more masc some more feminine because #the people making the show understand that how those traits are distributed does not matter #i feel like I was gonna say something else but I’m forgetting what it was so oh well

That "I'm probably non binary but I have a job so I don't have time to care about that" post but instead it's "I'm probably non binary I'm not USamerican so I don't have time for that rn"

#Most people I know still don't believe bisexuals exist so. #also i have a job

[musical-chick-13]

Regarding the whole "Fandom Is An Escape, so why should I have to care this much about misogyny/racism/ableism/transphobia/etc." thing. Idk about the rest of you, but it gets kind of hard for me to "escape" when I keep seeing people say the same vile things about characters who share aspects of my identity that I hear all the time in real life.

#gotta say: it doesn't make me feel any better getting ignored/disparaged on account of my gender irl and then seeing every fictional woman #also get ignored/disparaged when there is no material difference between her and popular male characters other than her gender #how do I escape from irl misogyny if y'all keep willfully ignoring and flinging gendered insults at 99% (<-lowball estimate) of #female characters? how do I put aside the ableism I face in real life when y'all discuss disabled/mentally ill characters in the most #absolutely out-of-pocket way? how do I forget about biphobia when the 'arguments' you make 'for fun' about bisexual characters #in fiction sound EXACTLY the same as the things people say about my bisexuality outside of the internet/fan culture? #and then obviously this gets compounded if you are trying to even simply EXIST in fandom as a poc or a trans person or an intersection of #any or all these varying identities/life experiences #like yes caring about fictional characters is not the same as caring about real people OBVIOUSLY I can't BELIEVE I have to keep clarifying #that. and at the same time!! because multiple things can be true at the same time!!!! engaging in behavior that enforces pre-ingrained #societal biases and prejudices!!!!!!!! does not help dismantle those biases and prejudices!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in a real-world way that DOES #involve caring about actual people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #it's also. interesting. when people go on & on about how some newest show about thin cis white (male) gays is So Important & Revolutionary #So We Must Do Everything To Keep It Relevant And Visible and then act this way about women/poc/trans people/disabled people/fat people #in media. so like. you DO agree that seeing a variety of life experiences represented in fiction is beneficial. you DO believe in the #value of depicting marginalized people. interesting that that only seems to apply to a VERY narrow and specific category of marginalization #(ugh remember when I talked about this and someone called me a straight person good times)
