the binary that is generally referred to by bisexual people in their method of identification now is same gender/different gender -- that is, we are capable of being attracted to people whose gender is the same as ours and people whose gender is not the same as ours (whether they are on the binary or not).

to say that bisexuality is inherently transphobic or exclusionary of gender identities not on the binary is imposing upon bisexual people an archaic definition of bisexuality that we no longer use for ourselves

#this post is for #semenjolras #not like in an aggressive way #in a 'here is a quick post explaining how bisexuality is not inherently binarist and transphobic' way #don't reblog//////////#i mean you can link to it i just don't want the post getting around u feel

@semenjolras said: u wrote a post about how everyone else should “shut the fuck up” and reblogged things defending the practice i’m telling u is harmful so i would appreciate some critical evaluation of your views acknowledging this + not ignoring it

ok now I understand where you are getting at ok.

When I wrote that post I wasn't thinking about people with disabilities, it never crossed my mind, which it really should have.

Honestly I have a very limited viewpoint on mental disabilities, though I myself am not neurotypical I have always had a hard time remembering to keep myself in check when it comes to disabilities. Things like pronouns being hard for people to use never crossed my mind and I realize now that this is something that should definitely be looked at and talked about more.

I really apologize for not being more... I guess sensitive would be the word?... to this topic, and I will make sure that in the future I keep myself informed and make sure to look at all arguments before writing my defense just in case something like this happens again.

#i have to go to bed now but tomorrow I will definitely look at my defense post again and rewrite it #semenjolras #i apologize again for this whole thing its been a really messy thing

@semenjolras said: lol if i mention this at all i get politely avoided. “thanks for making this point i’ll never address.” i really have no idea why i’m bothering when it’s just going to be ignored and no one actually cares? ~*intersectionality*~

Ok at this point I literally have no idea what you want me to say. How am I supposed to address this? If you've noticed I tend to not talk much about disabilities on my blog, I'm on unsure footing with that topic.

I'm not ignoring your point at all, I am trying to understand it but I'm not sure how exactly I am supposed to address this.

@semenjolras said: 1) they are almost all nouns that do not resemble pronouns + it’s hard for me to read them and understand in context and 2) i am not! able to memorize unique “fun” “special” nouns and all their arbitrary conjugations for each and every person

(for anyone wanting to know context this was in answer to this convo)

this is a really important point when discussing pronouns thank you for it and Im sorry I didnt see this sooner

@semenjolras said: i have a hard time reading and understanding these pronouns cognitively and i am not actually able to memorize the arbitrary conjugation of a different noun for each person so they can have fun. kind of feeling thrown under the bus for my disability

This is actually the only argument I've seen against that post (so far) that is truly valid and deserves to be discussed further. Unfortunately if someone has made that argument in the post it has been hidden under all the "ugh stop trying to feel special!!1! Pronouns arent fun!!!111!" shit.

I would like to know which of the pronouns on there do you have trouble with? If that is no problem of course I mean I can definitely imagine the clunky ones but this would be good to know for future reference when I do more research on pronouns for myself (definitely would NOT want to cause trouble for anyone with a disability).

#Though I would like to remind you that these pronouns are not just to have fun with that these are for peoples actual identities.#semenjolras #pronouns #lgbt #lgbtq+
