People say the world has changed. Thankfully, between you and I, it’s still the same.

glad I sunk nine years of my life on this website just so I could experience the highly specific mix of neurochemicals currently giving me brain damage

Why the “Bisexual Lesbian” Can Not Exist
This piece comes a bit late, but I wanted to write it out anyway, just to get it down on (virtual) paper.
The LGBTQIA+ community, although often portrayed in pride parades around the globe as a singular, rainbow-colored harmonious collective, is not without its own internal politics and conflict.
Labels within the  LGBTQIA+ community have been a topic of contention since the initialism “GLBT” first popped up in the late 1980s. Defining the term “bisexual” (current defined as “being attracted to more than one gender,” according to the Human Rights Campaign Foundation) is still a hot-button issue, and those coming out as bisexual to friends or family are often met with confusion.
The term “bisexual lesbian” popped up on Twitter a few months ago, and is used to describe a bisexual woman who feels attraction primarily to women. In a way, it does accomplish that goal. At a glance, you see the attraction to more than one gender (”bisexual”) and then the attraction to women (”lesbian”), and could come to the conclusion that a “bisexual lesbian” is a lesbian who likes women more than men. So, why did it cause so much conflict?
The term “bisexual lesbian” was contested by both the bisexual and lesbian communities online not only because of it’s contradictory definitions, but also because of the differing experiences that inform both of those identities.
The confusion and rejection that bisexual individuals face is largely due to the public’s lack of understanding of attraction. There is a public perception that bisexual individuals are simply confused.
On the other hand, a defining experience of lesbians is the lack of attraction and connection to men in a patriarchal society. Although reported rates of homophobia toward lesbians is lower than those experienced by gay men or bisexual individuals, “lesbiphobia” still exists. Particularly, internalized “lesbiphobia” often includes the desire to be attracted to men or to fit into a more traditional gender role.
A lesbian who is attracted to men, is not bisexual, according to the definition we saw earlier. The experience this individual would face would change according to the change in attraction and the ways that society reacts to it. Conversely, a bisexual who starts calling herself a lesbian, will now face the type of social isolation that lesbians face in a male-dominated society.
Combining the terms “bisexual” and “lesbian” degrades both terms. The term “bisexual lesbian” suggests that a bisexual person is actually not attracted to more than one gender, and also gives credence to the claim (often made by straight men online) that lesbians have the potential to be attracted to men.
Although both "bisexual” and “lesbian” labels have been expanded upon in recent years -- to include attraction to non-binary, genderqueer, intersex or transgender individuals -- their basic definitions remain the same, and combining them to create “bisexual lesbian” only serves to cheapen both.
A/N: I am a lesbian. I am not bisexual! If there are any bisexuals or lesbians who have thoughts/feelings/opinions on the “bisexual lesbian” label, please feel free to reply or DM me.

I was thinking of renewing my contract for a minute but then we started the new semester online because of COVID-19 and everything has gone to shit again. I’m doing my best to adapt to Zoom but my coteacher won’t communicate. We’ve had so many arguments already about classroom management, teaching style, and communication, and I’m almost ready to leave the country entirely.
She keeps telling me stuff like this:
“How about watching EBS textbook English contents that I told you last time during the quarantine period and learning how a native teacher leads? I think you need to find a way for the students to follow.”
I call on certain problem students by name but they often don’t listen. They’re 6th graders who don’t care, and they’re not forced to turn their mic or video on during their Zoom classes so it’s extremely difficult to teach. They don’t follow my coteacher either, actually. I think that I already do the things that the bubbly kindergarten teacher-style EBS teachers do, but apparently that’s not good enough?? Those teachers are fluent in Korean and probably have way more experience with kids than I do. They’re also not controlling kids while teaching. They read a script and pause in places to allow students to “answer” their questions. I’m doing as much of that as I can, within the bounds of my personality and teaching style. I ask as many prompting questions as I can. I have them translate and spell things. But I can’t force them to follow along or participate if they don’t want to.
I’ve suggested a classroom management system that would directly reward participation instead of her “you showed up for class, here’s three points” system, but she doesn’t like my suggestions. So I’m not sure what else I can do.
I’ve turned simple vocab review activities into games in the past but it’s hard to moderate games via Zoom when these students only tune into class for 10 seconds at a time. My coteacher struggles with it too, but obviously only I am at fault for this difficulty.
