okay i’m curious bc my parents were relatively young having me but idk what age difference is “normal” between parents and kids as i’ve met people with plenty of variations. so if you want, reblog this and tag (don’t comment) how old your parents were when they had you. my mom was 25 and my dad was 21.

Replacing “LGBT” with “Queers” was a mistake, allowing academic use of the word Queer was a mistake, and allowing corporate use of the word Queer was a gigantic fucking mistake

@spanish speakers te amo feels weird to say??????

[gringoslur]

TE AMO! IS TOO! INTIMATE!! maybe if you say it quickly and in a jokey way its ok but in a serious talk??? it feels too much!!!!!!!

[gringoslur]

“i love you” is NOTHING compared to te amo. i love you feels like a kiss on the check and te amo feels like fucking marriage. 

[gringoslur]

#I have like a whole thing on saying te amo to anyone

YEA. i had a relationship with someone and she dropped the “te amo” super quicky and i was like…………”thats ok, thank you, but im gonna be honest w you….i’m not saying te amo until i really feel it” thats how serious it is. 

[morsking]

[tindez]

te amo IS very serious, very deep, very intimate. when you want to tell someone that you love them without it being massive, the term you want is te quiero

Same for German imho?!??? Ich liebe dich is THE confession. You don’t drop it in a joking way.

[livia-arida-deactivated20201018]

It might just be me, but I wouldn’t randomly pepper Я люблю тебя into conversation either. It feels… too much.

[itsensakaljastaja]

Maybe it is the English one that is weird

I tell my close friends “I love you” all the time. I think It’s different if I were to say “I’m in love with you”.

[elfwreck]

In these non-English languages, do parents not tell their children “I love you?” Or is it only romantic?

[ebonyheartnet]

Oh, I’m monolingual but I know a bit about this one! :D

So, in a lot of languages, there are multiple verbs that mean, “to love,” which are each situational, while, in English, we derive the meaning through context

Like, “Te quiero,” refers to love for friends and family, aka platonic love, while , “Te amo,” or, “Ai shiteru,” in Japanese, is so achingly tender and romantic that you might as well write the other person a receipt for your heart, because it’s theirs now

At some point, English did have multiple verbs for, “to love,” but eventually English speakers decided, “to hell with it, I only want 1 broad term for these big mushy feelings,” because we hate having multiple words for things almost as much as we hate punctuation

TL;DR: cultures that are non-English speaking do tell their kids they love them, they just have multiple words that mean, “To love,” and English is the odd man out because it got tired of that and went

all i’m saying is I’ve literally n e v e r heard the use of the term bisexual to mean attraction to all genders. like ever. that’s the way those terms have been defined my whole life. im confused

you clearly haven’t been talking to bi people then because every single bisexual ive met irl and most of them online define it that way. im a nonbinary bisexual. i have dated nonbinary people. to say bisexuality only includes men and women is completely ahistorical, and transphobic to many nonbinary people. Anyone can be attracted to nonbinary people because they are not a seperate third gender.

Which is also why defining bisexual as attraction to “any 2 genders” doesn’t work either. Lesbians can and do date women and nonbinary people. Gay men can and do date men and nonbinary people. Whether or not those nonbinary people choose to align themselves with binary definitions is their own choice, but that doesn’t change the fact that gay men and lesbians can still date them. Same thing for straight people, they can date people of the opposite binary gender as well as nonbinary people. Bisexuality includes attraction to all genders.

Even the wiki for the bisexual flag lists the colors as “pink for same gender attraction, blue for different gender attraction, purple for attraction to nonbinary people/same and different genders.” The bisexual manifesto acknowledged that there’s more than two genders when defining bisexual attraction, and many documents from bi activists during that time define bisexuality as “attraction outside of gender/attraction beyond the binary”.

The “bi means two” argument doesn’t work and trying to argue the specific root of a prefix as the definition of bisexuality instead of listening to bisexual people and bi history is always going to be biphobic.

^^sure. the latin root “bi” is for two, but “bisexual” wasn’t even used to define a sexuality when it was first defined. and then it was also listed as a mental illness similar to sadism and masochism. Bi activists reclaimed the term “bisexual” and worked to redefine it towards bisexual experiences.

I’m not trying to be rude or aggressive here but it’s pretty disingenuous to make the claim you’ve “never heard it defined as attraction to all genders” when I, a bisexual, along with many other bisexuals on that post in the first place are telling you that’s the actual definition.

the most unrealistic fanfic trope, imo, is the one where one half of the pair works in some sort of shop and one is a customer bc I have literally never thought about a customer with anything other than contempt
