It's no wonder you hate sapiosexuals considering what a fucking dumbass you are.

I am Bi and I don't think Sapiosexuals are a real thing but the only problem is that people say that about Bisexuality and I'm worried that I'm being just like them and being ignorant. -EF

yeah no not the same thing. at all. people who say bisexuality doesn’t exist are like “you can’t possibly be attracted to people of multiple genders!” and people who say sapiosexuality doesn’t exist are like “of course you’re fucking attracted to people with similar interests to your own and with whom you can have a conversation with, that’s not a fucking sexuality, that’s the whole fucking point of dating!”

Do you talk about these things to people like this in really life? They must be walking on eggshells around yiu

in the middle of my gsa meeting today, both my straight roommate and the girl i’m sort of dating me texted me like “HAVE YOU VERBALLY ASSAULTED ANY SAPIOSEXUALS YET”

HI IM PANSEXUAL

Are you offended by these people claiming that them not liking people they don't see as intelligent is a sexual identity, or are you completely against having any sort of preference? What I guess I'm asking is would you say that someone liking someone, and one of those qualities in that person being their intelligence, would that be problematic?

i’m saying that intelligence is a social construct

i’m saying that that social construct does not exist in a vacuum

i’m saying that the western concept of intelligence is ableist, racist, classist, and misogynistic

i’m saying that when people say “i’m attracted to intelligence” they generally mean “i am attracted to people with similar interests to my own”

i’m saying that coding interests like quantum physics or philosophy or foreign films as intelligent and interests like fashion, or sports, or harlequin romance novels as unintelligent is fucked up

i’m saying that ignoring the role that ability, class, race, and gender play in (1) someone’s ability to receive an education, (2) the quality of that education, and (3) their ability to express that education such that they come off as “intelligent” is fucked up

i’m saying that in addition to your ability to receive a quality education, intelligence is generally also judged based on how well you can present yourself like a middle to upper class abled neurotypical white man (aka the ability to speak verbally, to speak clearly and coherently, to not use AAVE, to not speak in ways that are coded as feminine {ie using the word like a lot}, etc.) and that’s fucked up

i’m saying that the intelligent/unintelligent dichotomy, which paints “unintelligent” people as less deserving, less human, less evolved, whatever is super fucked up

i’m not saying you can’t have preferences

i am saying that, like all preferences, we should be thinking about them critically

i am saying that your preferences are not a fucking sexual orientation

i am saying that cis straight “sapiosexuals” do not fucking belong in lgbt+ spaces
