see bisexuality as not a third thing between gay and straight (not Heterosexual™️) but a continuity between them that cannot be split apart like many a biphobe try to do? Doesn’t seem hard to me. And this is coming from a person who does still call relationships straight or gay/lesbian.

Unidirectional = gay or straight, bi+ ppl are multidirectionally attracted becuz we don’t go with just exclusively gay/straight. Anyways, I did agree with ur point. 🤷🏽‍♂️ My point, expanding, is that we have to fight that but not by folding bi+ ppl back into the binary. Would it not be easy to just-

It's genuinely kind of depressing how much of everything about our culture and the present political moment can draw its roots back to masculinity being fragile 😕

In everyday life with ordinary people on the street or in the home, “hyper-gay” is still the standard classical perception and straight men still have a lot of anxiety about whether attraction to trans women makes THEM gay, and therefore less fully male.

There can be a lot of emphasis on the heteronormativity of transition care standards, like doctors insisting on conforming to heterosexual norms for trans people, but we shouldn’t make the mistake of acting like that context is universal or the most critical situation for trans people’s lives.

This is why it makes no sense to try and explain straight trans women’s lives and choices strictly through heteronormativity—our whole lives are in context to the homophobia embedded in the kind of sexism we experience.

These “I top men because I’m a misandrist” jokes are as funny as “trans inclusive misogyny”. They point to a contradiction that doesn’t exist

And of course, if you love your dick, all power to you. Just don’t spin a narrative of radicalism around that because that’s the entirety of appeal to chasers.

Penetration-as-power in patriarchy is valid upon first approximation, but honestly you need to add some layers when it comes to trans women

/s

“Patriarchy is afraid of me because I’m a trans woman who LOVES her penis” sure jan, that’s why bottom surgery is expected of trans women and all the trans porn exclusively features trans women with neovaginas

cishet brain. Fr. Lets **** the cishets that live in our brains, including the ones that say or push us to think bisexuality is proximal for Heterosexuality™️. No queer identity is proximal to Heterosexuality™️.
