Blade Bisexual! 🗡️💖💜💙🗡️

Inspired by: the Bisexuals of the Blades (iconic bi wives) who were commonly mistaken (even by their own wedding photographer!) as lesbians. Bisexuals are a force to be reckoned with <3

While Battleaxe Bisexual is a panphobic notion (and the flag doesn’t resemble the bi flag as well as it could!) I do appreciate the idea of a term for bisexuals that look at the nuances around how bisexuals are treated. Blade Bisexual is not against pansexuality, however, is critical of how pansexuality has been far too often seen as a “better alternative” than bisexuality. I think that a few well meaning bisexuals who are exhausted with biphobia can be swept up into the Battleaxe Bi community. It is no excuse, but vulnerable ppl can be taken in and influenced by harmful notions. Blade Bisexual advocates for bisexuals without it being a footnote or stepping stone to gay/lesbian, or an “outdated version of pan”. And swords are just as cool as axes!

Being exclusive is not always a bad thing!! While pride is open to everybody- queer ppl of any time, cishet allies, ppl who are questioning, etc. there are also queer clubs, communities, bars, that are lgbtq ONLY. And that’s so necessary. Lgbtq ppl need a space away from cishets- while joining vast communities is so important, we do not need that all the time. I also think that bisexuals need their own spaces (just as gays/lesbians have their own spaces) for their solidarity.

Blade Bisexual is against biphobia, and is less about “all lgbtq should stick together all the time!!!1!” and more about “while the lgbtq is all valid and is not a choice, there are too many biphobes within cishets and the rest of the queer community as well”. Blade Bisexual is about bisexual solidarity, bisexual love and bisexual romance, bisexual friendship, bisexual pride, and that well earned bisexual rage ;) Blade Bisexual is just a less hateful version of Battleaxe Bisexual tbh.

A few more thoughts on the latest stunt.

If Taylor so chooses, this can be retconned as a cheek kiss between friends.

I think we have to accept that this isn’t employer-employee; she and Joe by this point are legitimately friends, Joe understands the deal, and is doing Taylor the favor of seeing it through to the end.

I think it’s pretty fair to say that she is still low-key out as queer, but wants to present as a bi woman in a straight relationship. It’s not much, but it’s legit enough, and still a net benefit for bi visibility. Maybe it’s my imagination, but it seems like biphobic backlash has been on the rise lately, especially against those in het relationships. We need this, even if she’s fudging it.

We don’t know what her current mental health state is, but there’s a good possibility that it’s a bit on the fragile side. It’s been a wild couple of years. She might legitimately be stressing out and this is her way of getting everything back under control, regardless of PR.

Karlie still isn’t free from the Kushner situation.

I’m going to say this: We Need To Calm Down. If she wants to present as a bi woman in a relationship with a man, which in this show-not-tell era of coming out seems to be what she’s saying, it doesn’t contradict most of the signs she’s dropped, apart from the Koincidences. Since we now know that bisexuality is extremely common, it’s good enough for now. It may be a long time, if ever, before we see Lesbian Taylor, but Nonspecifically Queer Taylor is a fait accompli.

This book gave me so many happy fuzzy feelings, then at time took those happy fuzzy feelings outback and beat the crap out of them but in the end served them back to me in cute little bandages and smiling faces.

This books reminds me of what it's like to be queer in high school and have a silent crush on someone I could never have. Tanner's way of going about his crush is so relatable it made me cringe and poject my own personal embarrassment on him. When I finished I literally hugged the book to my chest and couldn't stop saying "wow!" It made me laugh and cry both sad and happy tears. This book easily makes my list of top 5 favorite books!
