i hate the concept of ‘straight passing’ people bc none of you can seem to acknowledge that theres mspec people who arent straight passing

[pansyfemme]

this is a personal thing bc- as i have explained many times, i have a mother and a father, and neither of them are straight. My father is a short, thin man who paints his nails, has a high voice, wears bowler hats and vests daily, and reviews theatre for a living. My mother (although she is now more feminine presenting) has short, curly hair (which she had shaved for a time) a deep voice, wears mostly overalls and work pants and used to be an organic farmer/painter. As you can imagine- my father, when he is not accompinied by my mother, is seen as a gay man. He is routinly hit on by men, asked about his ‘husband’ and gets profusly apologized to when he mentions his wife. My mother was reffered to by my aunt as an ‘ex lesbian’ (paraphrased) when she married my father. The fact that my parents have both been identifying as bisexual from the very start means very very little to those who make assumptions. However- when I say that I have two bi parents- its still assumed that they’ve “given up” their bisexuality- that they are the same as two heterosexual parents. I can tell you for a fact that the way I was raised was not by heterosexual parents. My dad bringing me to drag shows as a small child and my mother teaching me feminism and how to dress for myself as young as i could verbalise was not in vain. My parents are not ‘straight passing’. However- ‘straight passing’ is used for any m/f relationship between two queer people. It’s fucked, really. It’s not ‘straight passing’- you just think that bi people are straight.

Me in 2022 when the pandemic hasn’t ended yet because people don’t know how to act right and I’ve been holed up in my house for three years acquiring a new flavor of crazy, going to open the door for the guy in the hazmat suit that’s come to deliver my groceries

my biology professor has such a chaotic energy about him, last week i went to his office hours and somehow we ended up on the topic of gay marriage:

he said that when he lived in texas they changed the law to define marriage as “between a man and a woman in a house of religious worship with the intention to have children” so he filed his taxes as single and when they called him up like “you filed married last year” he was like “you changed the law, i was married by a judge in a courthouse and i have no intention of having kids” and they told him “you know who that law was for” and i guess he hung up on them and did not, in fact, pay taxes as a married man that year

Chaotic good

[swordshapedleaves]

NO! This is Lawful Good! He is following the LAW! Chaotic doesn't just mean cheeky!

[dragkingandreweldritch]

this is like how Sweden stopped classifying homosexuality as an illness because people started a campaign of calling in gay to work

fyi things like insulin, hearing aids, wheelchairs, glasses costing money at all is a form of structural ableism

[conarcoin]

disabled people should not have to pay to live their lives like everyone else. and in the case of insulin, disabled people should not have to pay to Not Fucking Die

I can’t decide what’s funnier, if this was a genuine candid photo of the father’s shock, or if he was an excellent sport and was like “hey folks, know what would be hilarious…”

[lizluvscupcakes]

“Yknow, Ted, the guys at the bar are gonna wanna know what it was.”

“Bring the photo! It’ll be funnier if you bring the photo.”

Story Time!

My father, who is an identical twin, has two older sisters who were also identical twins. My grandfather’s favourite way to tell the story was that in 1956 when he was awaiting the arrival of 🤷‍♀️ Child™️, the doctor (who, in the small town where we’re from, had delivered my aunts a few years earlier) came to the lounge, lit a cigarette and took a seat next to him.

“Clifford… how are ya?” the doctor greeted.

“I’m alright… yourself?”

“Good, good…good, so how many ya want this time?”

My grandfather, even in the retelling of the story heaved the most world weary sigh and said, “…how many ya got?”
