[non-bi-narism]

ppl post this sort of positivity that’s like “bi ppl w a preference for women are valid bi ppl w a preference for men are valid” and yeah sure but also, hyperanalyzing your bisexuality is not necessary. the fact that you’ve dated or liked or slept w more men or more women doesn’t have to say anything abt your bisexuality. your bisexuality does not have to be measured and counted and have a pie diagram showing gender percentages. you can just be bisexual

Here's How The Lincoln Star Evolved Throughout The Years

Throughout a century of vehicle production, the Lincoln star insignia has undergone many changes since the brand was founded in 1922.

Well all these years I never dealt noticed but I do see the difference looking at my granddad’s car s

TDOV: Pregnancy is a Largely Invisible Battlefield

This Trans Day of Visibility I’d like it if people could verbally acknowledge that it’s not being called a “pregnant person” that terfs find dehumanizing, it’s being considered an equal to fertile trans men and enbies. Let’s talk about how terfs see “the female sex” as their property and territory, and violently oppose men and enbies who need “feminine care” because they think we’ve “lost the right to medical care” for our “lack of loyalty” to them, for our otherness.

“Female Sex Traits” are only defined so because of cisnormative culture. Those sex traits don’t have a gender, and the men and enbies who have those traits deserve medical care just as much as anyone else, so why are we excluded from “female” healthcare? Because transphobes -specifically cis women transphobes- see our genitals as property of their gender. They think we “turned in” our right to medical care when we stopped pretending to be like them, but the genitals of trans men and afab enbies do not “belong” to cis women, and cis women shouldn’t have a say in what medical care we should be allowed to access.

It’s not that they think “people” dehumanizes women, it’s that allowing men and enbies to not identify as women goes against the cisnormative culture that “protects” it’s “women”. Protection is what they call this kind of control, and cis women express it through territorial “defense” of “their spaces”. “Their spaces” happens to include the maternity ward, the OBGYN, the menstrual products aisle… any place that could provide “feminine care” is a place men and enbies are now “invading” by having bodily needs that cis women have laid claim to.

It’s not that they think “people” dehumanizes women, it’s that a bearded man with a pregnant belly being allowed in the same spaces as them offends them. They want us to be either forcefully converted or sterilized to “protect the sanctity of the female sex” The definition of who is allowed to be pregnant, is allowed health insurance for pregnancy, can be publicly pregnant, is tightly controlled to keep the civil right to reproduction and parenthood tightly within the grasp of unqueer people, dangling above our heads.

When they say “protect” they mean “control”, and children and uteruses are a resource of influence to them. That’s why they always dogwhistle about “protecting the children” and “confused girls ruining their bodies”; they’re talking about controlling their ‘resources’ and keeping the normative breeding culture chugging along. It’s like they’re trying to selectively breed queer people out by gatekeeping us from parenthood. A lot of them seem to think it’s genetic and/or cultural, so that tracks, but even the ones that don’t don’t want any of the next generation to grow up thinking we deserve to exist.

Reproductive rights are a battlefield, and not just for unqueer women. Men and enbies have been suffering under these pressures for a while, and lack of visibility for our needs makes it even harder to fight back. Do us a favor and explicitly state who we are, what we need, and why “pregnant people” is important aside from flaccid statements of “aren’t women people too”. Cis Women aren’t the ones being targeted by this, talk about the Men and Enbies who are.

i learned of “Box beds” – cabinets with beds in them and, sometimes, lockable doors – were used for privacy and safety in parts of rural medieval Europe before individual bedrooms were common. They became fashionable even in homes with bedrooms and remained in use in Scotland into the 1900s (x)

Well, well, well, will you look at that? It’s Pride again.

You know the drill by now. It’s June 1, and suddenly everything from banks to big box stores has slapped a rainbow on their logo. Rainbow capitalism knows how to target LGBTQIA+ customers. For exactly 30 days of the year. How quaint.

Of course, it’s nice to make things bright, and colorful, and pretty. But it’s meaningless if that’s all it is.

Pride should be about uplifting and celebrating you, the community. And it should be year-round, not just 8.22% of the year. So, we’re signal-boosting your posts that celebrate, support, and honor all genders and sexualities over here. Follow to keep your dashboard lovely and gay as hell all year round.

And, yes, we’re also making a bit of a fuss right here on @celebrate (apparently, we just can’t help ourselves). So if you’re interested in talking about what Pride means to you or want to celebrate Pride but don’t know how to go about it this year, we made a fun little 30-day Share Your Pride Challenge list. Because you do, in fact, deserve to be celebrated.

Tag your posts with #ShareYourPride if you want to make them a little easier for other people to find. And Tumblr? Happy Pride. We’re glad you’re here.

[cowardly-bisexual]

What people think internalised biphobia is:

inability to be proud of your bisexuality

What internalised biphobia is in addition to that:

being convinced you’re not bisexual enough

constantly questioning what if you’re actually gay or straight

feeling like you don’t count as bisexual/LGBT anymore because of your current partner’s gender

feeling like you need to prove you’re “really bisexual” by sleeping with/dating people of different genders

feeling like you’re not a full and equal member of the LGBT community unless you’re in a same sex relationship

feeling like any issues you might face because of your sexual orientation aren’t real or don’t count because bisexuals only have it “half as bad”

prioritising every other issue over bisexual activism because you don’t believe bisexuals deserve support, resources, respect or care as much as other minorities

feeling guilty for being monogamous because you think it takes away from your “bisexual credentials”. feeling guilty for being non-monogamous or promiscuous because you think you’re reinforcing the stereotypes  

being ashamed of liking a particular gender because you feel it makes you less feminist/less queer/less pure. trying to minimise or apologise for attraction to a certain gender

being uncomfortable with the word bisexual, thinking it’s shameful, dirty or “just doesn’t sound right”. being scared of, ashamed of or uncomfortable with saying “i’m bisexual” out loud. using euphemism or avoiding the word “bisexual”.

wondering if you just convinced yourself you’re bi for attention and questioning the validity of your attraction and experiences

feeling like you’re deceiving your partners and you need to apologise for/minimise your bisexuality

thinking bisexuality is not as valid, important, political or radical as some other sexual orientations
