Additionally this is more what (I see) as the overwhelming opinion of bisexuality, pansexuality, and polysexuality to the more average joe. (Sorry to spam you.)

I think you should read this blog. They personally likes the term bi-

There are plenty of things to object to in this commentator’s replies. The use of intellection though is a dead horse. I think you should debate what should be debated here (the hatred, inaccuracies), not a trivial point where they’re using an esoteric word correctly.

How are you? Did you have a nice weekend? Is it…

Sorry I was away for a week.
No, I think our language is just one thing that makes life extremely hostile to non-conforming folks. But it’s something easily changed. Think of it in terms of gendered language, how in english “manly” words are good and praised and “womenly” things are worth less, emotional, unreliable.…

I disagree. The overwhelming majority of people that use the term bisexual in my mecca-for-the-gays city are white extremely privileged cis women who are happy to assume the LGB mantle and learn nothing, say nothing, do nothing for and about people who don’t fall into the binary. I’m sure no research has been done on…

Ok, this is the second time you’ve busted out this Mao/Hilter crap. You can be anti-elitist without being Mao/Hilter. You sound almost as bad as the large swaths of Americans who are unable to compare Trump to anything other then Hitler because they don’t know about Berlusconi or right wing populism and have the…

Settle down there. You’re wrong and not being a very good sport about it.

LGB-identifying people are more likely to commit suicide. Trans and non-binary people have suicide attempt rates in the 40%s. They live in a world that is extremely gendered; they are subject to violence and ridicule that we can’t even fathom. If I am given a choice to call myself something inclusive, something that…

RAISE THAT CIS PRIVILEGE FLAG SISTER! We truly talk too much about the marginalized trans and non-binary communities. We really shouldn’t be addressing or thinking about them when we confront our sexualities or language about sexuality. You’ve been doing this for 20+ years and you have a right to it! I hear they don’t…

Ugh to people saying “pick a side”. They are terrible and need to sit down. I know your struggle.

See, I’m totally down with people saying “I’m bi!” and meaning “I like people who have genitals and feelings that are my identified gender, and those that are not!”. Because yes, that is how every single pansexual person…

To some extent yes? I also don’t think I know a single person who would say they are into cis men and cis women but have no interest in anyone else on the spectrum, period. That position smacks of transphobia to me, or at least ignorance of the wide varieties of genders (or lack thereof) that you might find…

Use your words, you can explain with very little effort. The term bisexual erases the myriad of other gender options, so even though the straights will probably understand you easier, you’ll get side-eye from us queers. Non-gender conforming or fluid folks don’t need any more erasing.

Watch The 100. Solid queer female lead who gets all the gents and ladies.

I rage stroke whenever new outlets are like “Hawking says THIS about AI!!!” or “Elon Musk say THAT about biology”. First off when a scientist pulls a Pauling and forgets to sit the f* down when they’re talking about a branch of science that they know nothing about it is embarrassing for them and the rest of us (ugh…

Sorry, this attitude is so pervasive and so stupid it sets me off. I really hate the old empires of Europe and how their descendants glorify them as if every single race war we have now is not a direct result of their actions and prejudices.

*applause* The tone-deafness here is alarming. White people othering first nations under the guise of paternalistic care.

I’m with J.K. Rowling on this one mostly because all (-1 who is christian and doesn’t like Harry Potter at all) of my navajo friends think that this outrage is hilarious and if I don’t listen to them then I’m really just trying to tell them what to think.

Any surgery is dangerous. If a consenting adult wants to do it, fully understands the risks, and a qualified doctor (in this case entire team of doctors) agrees to it, I don’t see what basis we have to deny a person the medical care they want. There are plenty “elective surgeries” we have all the time. I think you’re…

Sigh. That’s the one where the victim said in court she’d rather be raped by a man then a woman. God help me, it was a horrible case and I hope she gets peace, but the difference in legal interest to now is that the conviction rested a solid chunk on homophobia. That was awful all around.

I think the closest you get here is in Isreal where the one dude was convicted for telling someone he was a neurosurgeon.
