Palestinian men should not have to repeatedly hold up pictures of their family struggling through a genocide, for us to care about them. Fundraisers conducted by/for Palestinian men, should not have to repeatedly refer to their mothers, sisters, wives and children, to make us realize their humanity, their vulnerability. Enough. Isn't it enough after so many months? Hadn't it always been enough?

I want to add another point.

For me I'm aware of hierarchies, and how someone might know more or be more experienced than another, or that they are more in charge of more stuff than I am. HOWEVER I am also VERY well aware (painfully so) that being at a higher position of power DOES NOT inherently mean they are better, smarter, or more trustworthy than someone not in the same position.

Cops (I'm only talking about American cops, as I am American so I can't speak on other countries and their cops) are a great example of this. Cops are considered by many to be much higher on the hierarchy than others due to their responsibility and power. However if you've paid attention to true crime or recent events you're well aware that cops aren't always good at being good. They're often violent, power hungry thugs that will kill just because they're annoyed at someone, and try to justify & hide the murder.

Not to mention that there's no such thing as a good cop, not in the sense that all individuals that are cops are awful people, but that to be a good cop you have to, HAVE TO enforce unethical and oppressive laws. You can't be a good person while arresting someone who's homeless for sleeping outside.

Long post below the cut, explaining who this post is directed at, by specific beliefs/opinions around bisexuality.

This is directed at:

Anyone who thinks bi people are just straight/lesbian or gay, depending on their current partner.

Bi people are bi regardless if they're dating someone of the same gender, similar gender, or different gender. That's literally the definition of being bi, attraction to genders same/similar and different to your own, as in ALL GENDERS. Someone who's attracted to all genders, doesn't suddenly become a lesbian just because her current partner is also a woman, yes even if they're married and in a committed monogomous relationship. Bi people are bi, regardless of their commitments or current parnter. Stil being bi doesn't mean they don't love their partner or that they're going to cheat, same as how someone still being straight in a committed mono relationship doesn't inherently mean they're going to cheat on the next person of a differnt gender they stumble across. People aren't considered aro if they're single or ace if they aren't currently having sex, so why should bisexuals not be considered bisexual if they're dating someone of the same/similar or different gender??

Anyone who thinks that bisexuality excludes any genders.

Again, bisexuality means attraction to genders same/similar and different to your own, all genders are either same gender as your own, similar to your own gender or different than your own gender. Regardless if you believe there to be only 2 genders or literally infinate genders, bisexuality includes all of them.

Anyone who thinks bisexuality excludes trans people.

Trans men are men, trans women are women, trans nb folk are nb. Trans men and cis men are THE SAME GENDER, trans women and cis women ARE THE SAME GENDER. Men, women, and nb folk as well as any other gender/s you believe to be valid, are always going to be either same as your gender, similar to your gender, or different than your own gender.

Anyone who thinks that bisexuals are shallow or that we always care about someone's gender or (even worse) genitals.

Bisexuality is ONLY about the types of attraction you feel Hetero (Different gender attraction), and homo (Same/similar gender attraction). It has NOTHING to do with preferences. Some bisexuals don't gaf about gender or genitals, some prefer one gender over the other, some find themselves more attracted to specific genitals over others, some love all genders but differently, for some their preference changes or disappears over time, due to fluctuating experiences, viewpoints, situations and whatnot. They're all still bisexual.

Anyone who thinks bisexuals are more likely to cheat, or be promiscuous.

Bisexuality is ONLY ABOUT IF YOU FEEL HOMO & HETERO ATTRACTION (again that's attraction so genders that are same/similar to your own gender, and attraction to genders that are different to your own gender). It has just as much to do with how likely you are to cheat or sleep around as any other sexuality, in that it has NOTHING to do with it. Some bisexuals sleep around and cheat, some don't, same like how some gays, lesbians and straights do and some don't.

Anyone who thinks that you have to have experiance dating all genders to be able to label yourself as bisexual.

There are a million and one reasons why someone might identify as bisexual without having dated or gotten intimate with all genders. Not everyone lives in an area where doing so is safe. Some people live in an area where if they were caught dating someone of the same gender they could be kicked out of their home, abused, assaulted, raped, or even executed by their country. Even if they live in an area that is widely considered safe to be LGBT+ in, doesn't mean they owe anyone their dating history. Bisexuality (as is the same with all other sexualities) about attraction, not about past experiance. Someone can be lesbian without having dated any women (and yes this can also include women who've had male partners or even a husband or two in the past), someone can be gay without having dated any men, and someone can be straight without having dated anyone of the different gender. This is about ATTRACTION not past experiances. Self discovery is a journey, and we're all traveling it differently. Some people figure it out quickly, for some it takes some trial and error, and for some it's something they don't figure out until much MUCH later in life, and some never figure it out. It's a journey, and it's not often an easy and straightforward one, especially when you live in a VERY heteronormative, and homophobic scociety.

Anyone who thinks that bisexuality is somehow limiting, and pansexuality isn't.

They're literally the same thing, they both mean attraction to all genders. If you think otherwise, you're biphobic. While personally I think merely identifying as pansexual has done and still currently does do a lot of damage to the bisexual community, and I would get rid of the label as a whole if I could (pansexuality has set back the bisexual community YEARs in terms of fighting against misinfo). I understand, at least not for my lifetime, pansexuality isn't going anywhere, so as long as you aren't spreading biphobic misinformation, it's not something that I am going to fight. Not at all a fan of it, but I'm trying to pick my battles here. I know we're on the same boat, just some of y'all think you're better than the rest of us, cause you think just cause you got a different room means you're on a whole ass different boat.

Anyone who thinks that bisexuals all want threesoms/orgies.

AGAIN, bisexuality is about attraction, not how promiscuous they are. SOmeone can be bi, and be incredibly mono and vanilla. STOP ASSUMING BI=SEXUALLY ADVENTOROUS. Liking same/similar and different genders does not in any way shape or form inherently mean we want both at the same time!! Do some bisexuals like and seek out threesomes/orgies? YES of course, they're human some humans like threesoms/orgies. Do some bisexuals HATE the idea of a threesom or orgy? YES of course, again they're human, some humans don't do threesoms or orgies.

Anyone who thinks that bisexuals have to have an equal dating ratio to be able to identify as bisexual.

Bisexual people are still bi regardless if they're dating history is 80% same gender and only 20% different gender. Bisexual people are still bi regardless if they're dating history is 99% different gender and 1% same gender. Hell bisexual people are still bi even if they've only dated the same or different gender. It's not about their dating history it's about if they experiance hetero (Different gender attraction), and homo (same/similar gender attraction).

Anyone who thinks that someone who doesn't gaf about the gender or genitals of their partner/s is pansexual instead of bisexual.

Pansexuality is just another word for bisexual, while I am not a huge fan of the term, and honestly think it's done so much damage to the bisexual community and honestly isn't a necessary label at all, it exists and it doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. If you're pansexual, that's fine, as long as you aren't spreading misinformation about what it means to be bisexual.

Anyone who thinks that bisexuality is somehow an "adult" sexuality, and that kids can't or shouldn't identify as bisexual.

Unless you're keeping that same engergy for all other sexualities you're just biphobic. Bisexuality isn't anymore inherently sexual than being straight, or gay/lesbian. Someone identifying as bisexual doesn't mean they're anymore sexual than any other person of any other sexuality. It's not the jobs of other people to not identify as an innocent sexuality just because you're a pervert who can't keep their mind out of the gutter when it comes to bisexuality.

Anyone who thinks bisexuality can't or inherently doesn't include non-binary people, and especially if you think, that if you're attracted to non-binary people that you're actually pansexual instead of bisexual.

Anyone of any sexuality can be attracted to non-binary people, there's no way to tell if someone is non-binary unless they tell you. So a lesbian might find herself attracted to a non-binary person because said nb person is more feminine, or is female presenting. A gay man might find himself attracted to a nb person who is more masc or male presenting. While there are debates on how one should label themselves if they are straight, or lesbian/gay, and dating a nb person, it's weird to think someone has to identify as pansexual to be attracted to someone they'd have no idea isn't a woman or man if said nb person didn't tell them.

Anyone who thinks that terms like omni/poly/etc.-sexual are valid.

They're all just bi. Bi doesn't mean you have to feel the same level of attraction to all presentations of all genders, so if you're only attracted to feminine folk, assuming that includes genders same/similar and different to your own you're still bi. If you're only attracted to masculinity (again assuming hetero and homo attraction) you're still bi. You don't need a new label for your preferences.

Anyone who thinks that someone should have to disclose that they are bi before dating someone, or that by not disclosing that they are bi, that they are lying to or decieving their parnter.

Here's the thing, you don't have to tell a new partner that you're bisexual. You don't have to tell them that because that doesn't effect the other person at all. Would I personally let a potential partner know? Yes, not because I think they're owed that information, but because I don't want to date someone who is biphobic, so to weed those people out, I am open about my bisexuality.
