a reminder that bisexuality includes trans people and always will. it’s not exclusive to cis men and women. bisexuality can mean attraction to all genders and multiple genders. bi and pan are two different labels but are really very similar. both are valid! both are inclusive!
@wifeguyyuta right?? and i wonder how they would treat someone like me, a bi woman who has decentered men and only dates women, but because i still have the potential to find men attractive i must be a disgusting male centred whore who is going to bring "male" energy into a relationship
@Nyx744@hopsiestbunny if you genuinely don't think it implies hierarchy would you feel comfortable calling yourself a silver star lesbian or a bronze star lesbian? no? didn't think so.
@Nyx744@hopsiestbunny a gold star is quite literally a reward for doing something the right way. if the term were neutral, it wouldn't be a reward, it would just be a description. you can pretend that you don't notice the hierarchy but the metaphor of the term speaks differently.
i understand lesbians wanting to purely date lesbians. but as a lesbian i do feel like a lot of this discourse is simply rooted in biphobia. bisexual women like women last i checked? and if they’re loyal to their partner (if you’re monogamous) it’s such a non-issue.
@cariewithac@yukiakar1zz@pinkyfemme you're so misogynistic, you don't get to talk about women that way, you're actually a bigot. why do i deserve misogyny just because i'm bi and I ONLY DATE WOMEN.
@cariewithac@pinkyfemme i'm bi who only dates women and i'm repulsed by men, i would never even think of doing this, you don't get to even generalise all bi women like this this is messed up.
i hate it when bi women get blamed for the abuse we suffered from men, because we "choose to date men". don't call yourself a feminist if you believe this bs.
@SUZlE_P not at all, i have moral scrupulosity and the more i see queer discourse and oppression olympics and purity testing in leftist spaces the more it triggers my ocd and makes my self esteem so much worse
