don’t get me wrong i love shauna shipman but sometimes her actions are kinda like when you don’t have any gems in episode and you’re left with the worst possible option
I’m bi but my thing is i Don’t Date Men If I Can Help It. But I’ve enjoyed dating men in the past so I see myself as bi. Someone could be in a similar position but have had a very different experience dating men before. We can’t know what that experience is! Everyone’s different!
I agree with this tbh…. sexuality is amorphous and difficult to understand whereas A Sexuality Label is functional. You don’t need a word that communicates every single nuance you feel inside. You just need a word that describes how you approach the world
my incredibly hot take about this is your sexuality is the label that you live out in practice. if you never want to date a man and only want to date women why the hell would you call yourself bisexual. i don’t understand
But my argument is this: your internal experience is full of nuance and confusion, and your label doesn’t need to broadcast all of this. Your label is how you tell people what you want. If they want further elaboration you can tell them all that later
I get that it’s hurtful to think somebody was having the same experience as you and then realize it was something completely unrelatable. I have been in the position of the simple fact of my sexuality really hurting somebody. Actually multiple times
I’ve chosen to love this song because Alice Longyu Gao wrote it. The songwriter behind “only thing you care about is having sex and having sex” clearly had a vision, and I’m thrilled we all get to deal with the consequences of her success
Having a respected friend who earnestly loves a lot of slop is really hard. They’ll call me and be like “have you heard of this new thing i like” and I’ll have to find a nice way to say “yes and i think it’s dogshit”
