@ShiriEisner Why is the women's symbol direct current and the men's symbol alternating current? Am I supposed to read into this that women are always moving forward and men are wishy-washy?

[Because I Am Human @IAmHumanBecause]

@krassenstein Yeah lick that 👢 😂😂😂

@ProfAlang Being a bi woman is so rewarding. I get to wade through 🚮 🔥 of straight dudes and then turn around and deal with biphobic lesbian women. But way to tell on yourself that bi women know you're not the one

@ShiriEisner Live footage of me reading that tweet and most of the replies

@ShiriEisner Sexual behavior =/= sexual identity. I think it really is rooted in biphobia as you say, too. Ppl don't question gay and lesbian folks who were married to women and men [respectively] for years and had kids and all that nearly as much as they question bi folks (Sry that was long)

@ShiriEisner I'm always prepared. You need floss? I got you. You need a tampon? I don't even have a menstrual cycle but I go you. You need a phone charger? Got it. You need first aid? I got that too.

@PinkNews This has big "calling me racist is the real racism" energy

@ShiriEisner Okay but the original post/photo is super wholesome. But yeah, idk why ppl need to trying to figure out others' sexuality from a fucking photo 🙄

@ask_aubry The headings saying "Blacks" and "Jews" are 🚩🚩🚩

[Because I Am Human @IAmHumanBecause]

@ShiriEisner I mean preferences are what they are, and I certainly don't want to make bi men date ppl who have an issue with their bi-ness. BUT, these preferences are typically rooted in queerphobia.

@ShiriEisner I've spent about 5 yrs failing miserably building a platform/community and I finally gave up. Can't imagine succeeding and then having it torn apart. 💔🫂

[Because I Am Human @IAmHumanBecause]

@ShiriEisner It's now gay for men to be attracted to women, got it 😂😂🤣

[Because I Am Human @IAmHumanBecause]

@ShiriEisner And cis/ white LGs are, as a general group, very out of touch with BIPOC queers, Bi+, trans, and otherwise gender nonconforming folks. But their issues and voices have taken center stage because they're the most palatable/easily normalized into heteronormative nuclear family bs

[Because I Am Human @IAmHumanBecause]

@ShiriEisner I feel like the "come out no matter what" take is primarily from cis, white, middle class+ members of the LG portion

[Because I Am Human @IAmHumanBecause]

@kat_blaque Honestly any white person surprised by this is an unsafe person to be around... and I have white friends lol

@AshleyGWinter This is why you can't eat most ppl's food 😂 But seriously, such a pet peeve of mine, and far too many ppl in the outdoorsy/backpacking community believe this 😬

[Because I Am Human @IAmHumanBecause]

@ShiriEisner This happens to me quite frequently. My family and acquaintances will treat me like I'm uninformed on things I've dedicated years to studying. I've always wondered what it is about me that makes ppl do this so often

[Because I Am Human @IAmHumanBecause]

@mattxiv Lol plz don't be simping for monarchs tho

[Because I Am Human @IAmHumanBecause]

@ShiriEisner And ppl grow up in homes without love, look for romantic love to fill the void, and have children they don't know how to love - rinse, repeat

@ewarren @ReverendWarnock Dems have had the opportunity to codify abortion rights before and y'all didn't
