- what the "bi" in bisexual means: i am attracted to people of the same gender as me and of other genders. that includes people with non-binary gender identities.
- what the "bi" in bisexual doesn't mean: i am attracted to cis men and cis women only. i have special bisexual goggles that let me distinguish between trans people and cis people and cancel out non-binary people. transphobic binarist scum 4lyf. lol

“You just haven’t found the right person” seriously needs to die in a fire. No, that’s not it at all! It’s how I am, dammit. I’m not resigning myself to a life of loneliness, I’m acknowledging my wiring. And I am ok with how I am. It’s just your foolishness that’s really harshing my mellow.
Accept my explanation of my life. Please.

I just want to make this really, really clear…
*takes a deep breath*
I AM NOT STRAIGHT.
- I AM NOT STRAIGHT.
- I AM NOT STRAIGHT.
I AM NOT STRAIGHT.
I AM NOT STRAIGHT.
What’s really weird about the assertion that aromantic asexuals are “straight” is that it treats straight as a default: you’re straight until proven gay/bi/pan/lesbian etc.
But, most heterosexual people don’t consider aromantic asexuals straight. They consider us “Other.”
So the idea that straight is default is being perpetuated by members of the LGB* community, for the sake of delegitimizing aces.
Tell me that’s not a little bizarre.

Richard O’Brien: ‘I’m 70% man, 30% woman’
Richard O’Brien, writer of hit musical The Rocky Horror Show, delighted in shaking up the conservative sexual attitudes of the 1970s.
His most famous creation, Dr Frank N Furter, brought the house down with his song Sweet Transvestite.
But the show’s creator was ashamed about his own long-held desire to be more feminine.
“I was six-and-a-half and I said to my big brother that I wanted to be the fairy princess when I grew up. The look of disdain on his face made me pull down the shutters. I knew that I should never ever say that out loud again.”
For 50 years, O’Brien repressed the feeling. But “you can’t just put the lid on things and pretend that they don’t exist”, he says.
So a decade ago, he started taking the female hormone oestrogen - and is happy with the results.
“It takes the edge off the masculine, testosterone-driven side of me and I like that very much. I think I’ve become a nicer person in some ways, slightly softer. For the first time in my life, I’ve started to put on a little bit of weight, which I like.”
He has also developed small breasts. But O’Brien is not intending to go further and have sex reassignment surgery.
“I don’t want to pretend to be something that I’m not. Anton Rodgers, the actor, said ‘you’re the third sex’. And I thought that’s quite nice. I quite like that position.
“It’s my belief that we are on a continuum between male and female. There are people who are hardwired male and there are people who are hardwired female, but most of us are on that continuum and I believe myself probably to be about 70% male, 30% female.”
Fuck yeah genderqueer heroes!
Woo!

This seems like a good time to point out this blog post by Sciatrix, which discusses a paper that found that the average age of first sexual attraction, in heterosexuals and homosexuals, was 10. Standard deviation was about 3-4. I’ll quote her about the implications:
For the curious, that means that of the people who eventually go on to experience sexual attraction, 84% of them will have done so by age 13, and 97.6% of them will have done so by age 16. Those are some absurdly high numbers. What, given that, makes people think that teenagers are unlikely to be aware of what their sexual orientation is? If you’re not experiencing sexual attraction and 97% of your peers have done so, don’t you think that you’d notice that something was perhaps a little off?
I am now more than four standard deviations away from the mean. According to Wikipedia, 99.994% of the population generally falls within four standard deviations. The expected frequency outside of this range is 1 in 15,787. (Extrapolating is harder in the tails, of course, but it’s still interesting.) Why, exactly, should I be holding off on identifying my sexual orientation in case of an event that has a less than 1 in 15,000 chance of happening?

- gay guys can appreaciate beautiful women
- lesbians can appreciate handsome men

straight guys can appreciate handsome men

it doesn’t make them less straight

You think relationships are difficult? Try friendships. Try courting someone in order to convince them to join you in some nameless, shapeless platonic complication — forever. Convince an adult stranger that you are worth a healthy slice of their limited time and energy without the prize of sex or romance.

You want to know why I really hate that myth about “missing your other half?” Setting aside the fact that scholars believe it’s more than likely satire AND NOT AN ACTUAL CANONICAL MYTH FROM GREEK CULTURE.
It’s because it insinuates that you’re not complete without someone else in your life. Which is total fucking bullshit. You are capable of being strong, and beautiful, and AWESOME without having to love someone romantically.
YOU have the strength and power to be anything you want, to be happy on your own. WANTING someone isn’t the same as NEEDING- no one NEEDS another person to be great. Being great happens within you and it has nothing to do with other people- others are only a compliment to what already makes you amazing.
You’re already great and don’t you ever fucking forget it, you understand?? >:C
