Here's a thread of tweets I have book marked. Full disclosure a good number of these are tweets I made but anyways some resources for bi lesbians and bisexuality.

[Byke @radicalsapphic]

Queer people hate nuance and complexities of identities, do you know how much discourse could be solved if you just shut up and stopped viewing things so black and white?

[Byke @radicalsapphic]

@AlexxiAlexxi99 Not being talked over, being taken at my word, no random passive aggressivtion, assumed authority and respect. Attention, leniency, people don't assume I'm there to take care of them so all of my care is seen as deeply lovable instead of expected.

[Byke @radicalsapphic]

I'm genderfluid and pass fully as both a man and a woman. It's unbelievable how much better I'm treated as a man than as a woman and it makes me see red often.

[Byke @radicalsapphic]

It's hard to move on because it's really everyone. Queer people, cis people, family, partners, women, men. How can I keep talking to people when I can blatantly see what's in their hearts?

[Byke @radicalsapphic]

I've lost respect for most people around me because I see how much they love me as a man, how much attention and respect I get, how much forgiveness I get, how much praise I get. It's only ever time to love my femininity when its time to sexualize it.

[Byke @radicalsapphic]

Very susceptible to becoming interjects of the misogyny they themselves experienced.

[Byke @radicalsapphic]

Trans afabs often express this sort of "not like other girls" behavior in their youth that replicates the structural hatred and violence against femininity itself. Trans men often buy into this hate and turn it inward, and become trans misogynist as a result.

[Byke @radicalsapphic]

There really is no queer solidarity huh

[hammer @500crabs]

If you’re a trans man / transmasc it is so so so important to not fall into the pit of despair. Get off r/FTMPassing and tttt and discord echo chambers. You become misogynistic and hate other queer people for no reason. You need to love your friends & neighbors forever

@seralouisee A few days ago lmao, I feel like I've lived 7 lives since I've been here

[Byke @radicalsapphic]

Men are like "I'm walking on eggshells around her" and its from all the eggs they purposely threw on the ground.

[Byke @radicalsapphic]

What if I come back to this account talk about queer history? Is there anyone still here who sees my posts or would be interested?

[Byke @radicalsapphic]

I'm looking for an old article about the first uses of the label queer, I can't find it through my own posts. If someone has what I'm looking for I would really appreciate the help.

[Byke @radicalsapphic]

These kind of debates aren't new, this kind of separation and exclusion isn't new either. But as our shared oppressors wage a war against us this exclusion will be used to kill solidarity and destroy efforts of organizing for their benefit.

[Byke @radicalsapphic]

The language that has been used to label and describe queer experiences and identities has, like all language, shifted, developed and flowed through different times, cultures, and struggle.

[Byke @radicalsapphic]

This is from the book
Becoming Visible: Counseling Bisexuals Across the Lifespan

[Infinite Glitterfall (formerly Unicorn March) @UnicornMarch]

Another #BiHistoryMonth Fun Fact: The "bi lesbian" Battle Of The Labels isn't new.

These excerpts are from a Feb 6, 1992 Outweek article.

Also not new: This is really about whether bi women are allowed into the lesbian community: how much? Under what conditions? When and where?

[Byke @radicalsapphic]

I completely underestimated how much demonization of bisexuals during the AIDS genocide contributed to bisexuality becoming more known

[Byke @radicalsapphic]

This gem has being on the bisexual Index website for a while. Mspec people identifying as whatever the fuck they want is supported in bi communities.

[Byke @radicalsapphic]

I'm honestly in tears finding this
