Bi women who would only date a man if he was also bi are not inherently fetishizing mlm. It’s okay to only want to be with someone who understands what it’s like to live under homophobia.

Wanting partners who relate to your experiences isn’t the same thing as promoting harmful media or turning an identity into a kink

PSA: “#DropTheB”

stuns:

trans-ramona-flowers:

If you see any memes saying “There are more than two genders #DropTheB” floating around, it’s a false flag operation from /pol/, and it’s meant to start outrage and infighting within the LGBTQ+ community.

A few screencaps of it can be found here.

[CW: Homophobic, transphobic, and antisemitic language.]

ps here’s the artist of the original work that 4chan stole and edited (its the one i’ve seen most going around). pls go and support them!

in light of this #droptheB hash tag that reactionary psyops have begun, i just want to remind everyone that bi/trans solidarity has always existed. we have always fought for each other’s visibility and safety and rights and we have always formed community with each other. bi history and trans history aren’t mutually exclusive threads – they’re intertwined. you go back through various lgbt archives, such as the archive of the san francisco bay area bisexual network’s magazine, and you’ll see calls for bi/trans solidarity from the 80′s and 90′s. monica helms, the trans woman who created the trans pride flag, was inspired to do so after talking to michael page, the bi man who created the bisexual pride flag. we’ve always been there for each other and that won’t change just because reactionaries hate us and want to divide and conquer. 

and a special shout out to: trans and nb bisexuals, who are part of both communities. i’m sorry that this is happening, but i’m especially sorry that reactionaries are trying to rip you apart between your communities.

just so people know, there’s a “drop the b” hashtag going around about how it should be “lgpt” instead of “lgbt”

and I’d just like to say:

  • it was started by 4chan trolls
  • it does not come from trans, non-binary, or pan people
  • it is meant to cause fighting within the community
  • don’t let it

The promised/threatened podcast is coming into shape! I did a great interview with a guest tonight. What I’m going to do is combine that with just me talking for a few minutes about leftist cults and how to avoid them. I’ve been meaning to do a post on that for a while anyway. 

OK I have it done! I’m going to publish it on Monday but would anyone like to listen to it before then and tell me if there are any horrible problems with it? If so let me know and I’ll give you the MP3 download link. It’s way longer than I thought it would be at an hour, but I underestimated how labor intensive it is to edit down audio.

Thank you so much @rush-keating who checked it out and gave me some great feedback!

I uploaded the first episode to libsyn and I’ll update here when it shows on iTunes and Stitcher and so on. 

If things go well I’ll eventually set up a Patreon to cover the costs of the libsyn hosting (only $5 a month) plus the cost of doing transcripts, which I really need to be doing for Deaf/HOH folks. I can’t do that now, but if I can keep a regular podcast going, I’m going to commit to transcripts. I don’t ever want to run ads though… ugh, I hate them.

If folks are interested, the podcast is called Not Safe for Weebs.

This has a 50/50 chance of not being a parody? It’s actually a really common conservative talking point but they usually manage to phrase it so it doesn’t sound quite so painfully stupid.

After the travel ban, a common talking point that they had was “if you are against the ban why do you have a lock on your door?” which ignores that even if you have a lock, you can still choose to invite people in at any time.

I just got back from seeing the 2nd Incredibles movie. Ignore everyone
who says that they turned Bob into a joke and made him look incompetent
at parenting. He was for like the first few days but was able to get
better at it with some learning and help, which I think is realistic
more than anything else.
