AND TRANS GUYS. "ooohhhhh they're betraying womanhood" no, they're men. jfc not everything is a personal attack some people are just guys.
reblog this version too actually
Sometimes I think abt Billie Joe Armstrong and I get so emotional. Does he know how many kids he gave the courage to come out as bisexual. How many people saw him and realized they were like him. Realized there were people like us and he told us what that was and it was Bisexual loud and proud and fuck you if you’ve got a problem with that

These images changed me
They released a song about dressing in drag and fucking men while dressed in drag in 1997. King For A Day is, was, and always will be an extremely radical song, a revolutionary song, I cannot stress this enough especially to people born in the mid 2000’s how incredibly DANGEROUS it was for this very popular punk band to release a song like this back then. Well into the mid 2010’s it was still incredibly rare for anyone to be out and proud somewhere it wasn’t safe. School, work, queer people hid. But in 1997, Green Day released a song about dressing in drag and fucking men.
Like, American Idiot contains the line “Maybe I’m the faggot, America”. People got ANGRY about it. Back then in 2004 when it was released it was because Green Day was “encouraging kids to be gay”. Now when people get angry it’s because they’re ignoring the history and the raw power behind that line, maybe I AM a faggot, fuck you, I like fucking dudes and I don’t care what you have to say about it. Yet I still see people trying to cancel a band made up of THREE BISEXUAL MEN for saying the word faggot.
I strongly suggest people read more about Green Day’s history in the queer community. Billie Joe Armstrong is the reason I even know what bisexuality IS. And that it’s what I am. They had bands like Pansy Division opening for them in the 90’s, they fucking FOUGHT people in the audience for being homophobic. Billie Joe can and will kick your ass while Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool act as his personal hype men and add sound effects with the bass and drums. It fucks.
It’s 2:30 in the morning idk where I was going with this my heart is full of love everyone say Thank you Billie Thank you Mike Thank you Tré. Blows a kiss for every other bisexual. Including myself. Goodnight
I was high as hell and extremely tired but I was right
if you're a human adult you physically need to eat actual vegetables, read real books, work, exercise, be outdoors, have sex, and have other real adult humans to talk to all on at LEAST a weekly basis or else you go will literally go completely insane and the problem is too many people choose to skip all those basic needs on purpose
"I'm depressed and always tired and my body is in mysterious pain all the time for no reason" yeah you've spent a whole month isolated except for talking to online people and coworkers and eating convenience store snacks for half your meals with 0 physical activity like that isn't passive self harm. of course your body doesn't like that, it's exhausting
[ID: a screenshot of two tags: sex isn't for everyone & that's super cool. You should do all the other stuff though. /end ID].
I just realized that we talk a lot about T4T and Bi4Bi couples, but I haven't seen anyone mention Ace4Ace pairings.. like where both parties are Asexual. I feel like that needs just as much appreciation as the other two
why does it matter if the definitions of bisexuality overlap with the definitions of pansexuality or polysexuality or other multisexual identities??
there are over 50 words that are synonyms for beautiful (or have similar but slightly different definitions/uses), but we don’t go around policing people for using words like stunning or gorgeous because “people might get confused and what you really mean is beautiful”
“i’m sorry ma’am you cannot refer to yourself as beautiful when you are clearly gorgeous. stop erasing gorgeous ppl.”
I get pissed off with feminist writing that's like "men say they're oppressed but it's just stuff like not being able to cry, that isn't real oppression", because men haven't had a significant consciousness raising movement.
Women had to do a shit ton of work with each other in order to be able to put names to patterns like sexual harassment. That doesn't mean sexual harassment didn't exist before early feminist consciousness raising movements.
How many men have been sexually assaulted as part of pranks/hazing/bullying and can't even comprehend that it was sexual assault because we never talk about it that way? How many men freeze up when other men get aggressive because they spent 13 years in the abuse factories that are boy's schools? Every six months we rediscover that the level of violence at boy's schools is giving students symptoms "like post-traumatic stress disorder", for god's sake.
This isn't some ~MRA bullshit about men being more oppressed than women~, this is me saying that it's wrong to write men off as having no serious gendered problems at all just because they can't describe those problems.
literally addicted to pics like this.

I feel like bisexual men don't get enough attention, so here you go: bisexual men, you are hot!
Oh i remembered what else i wanted to say. The whole “bi women say they like women but always end up with a man” thing is a self-fulfilling prophecy. When you push that rhetoric at bi women all the time, you make them think that genuinely wanting to be with a woman/preferring women is a sign that they’re not actually bi. Forcing that very narrow, biphobic idea of bisexuality onto bi women makes them feel like they can either call themselves bisexual or date other women, but not both at once.
Compound that with things like the notorious comphet masterdoc which says you can choose to identify as a lesbian if you find men attractive but are only interested in/comfortable with dating women, and now bi women who prefer women/aren’t comfortable dating men think they’re actually lesbians with comphet. People who are mad at bi women for dating men have now caused the very thing they’re mad about. How do you expect to ever see bi women in relationships with other women when you’ve convinced bi women that they’re not really bisexual unless they fit your biphobic stereotype??
If Bi Men have a million fans, I am one of them.
If Bi Men have ten fans, I am one of them.
If Bi Men have one fan, that fan is me.
If Bi Men have no fans, I have passed away (heart exploded from too much love for bi men).
The world hates Bi Men, and I hate the world.
Until my last breath, I'll love Bi Men.
one of my favorite genres of discourse is when people try valiantly to take fictional (and often fantastical) scenarios and compare them to real life standards to make them more problematic
“I can’t believe that 300 year old vampire finds a 20 year old attractive” they’re literally an undead creature of the night that kills people susan
this is a bad opinion and you should feel bad
typing up my apology statement on iPhone notes rn
labeling a relationship hetero just because it’s wlm is the most heteronormative thing i can think of. Why does heterosexuality have to be the default? why can’t I be a bi in a bi relationship? why do wlm relationships have to belong to heterosexuals?
“that’s how society sees it” well society is stupid and I don’t see why we have to follow it.
This past week or so has been the re-realization that so many gays and lesbians support bisexuals only when we conceptualize and talk about our bisexuality in a way they support, which is to say quietly and content to being relegated to the sidelines of the community.
There’s a very strange resistance to bisexuals asking people to stop calling couples “straight” or “gay” based off the (perceived) gender of those in the relationships. Bisexuality is so often erased and defined by who we are dating, so checking your assumptions by not say “straight” or “gay” unless you know for a fact that both people are straight or gay is a way to make bisexuality more visible. It’s a way of tangibly acknowledging that bisexuality is more than just “part gay, part straight”.
As it is, people are much more comfortable classifying bisexuals by who they date, which is why a frequent form of bimisogyny is to disparage bisexual women with boyfriends/husbands as entitled intruders in the lgbt community. It’s why bisexuals are see as less of an authority on same-gender relationships or the issue of homophobia unless they have sufficient experience and why biphobia is seen as a minor issue in comparison to homophobia.
Gays: sexuality isn’t a choice 🙌
Gays talking to bisexuals: well you could have chosen to date a woman... 😕
