During #BiHealthMonth, it's crucial to highlight the alarming attacks on LGBTQ+ research. The NIH is canceling critical studies on transgender issues and LGBTQ+ aging, claiming they "do not meet priorities" of the current administration. This directly impacts our community's health and well-being.

POV: you are a warlock on your last spell slot and the boss uses Legendary resistance

[jacquiarno]

Since it’s 2018 and y’all still want to scream ‘bi means two!’ constantly, here’s a word you should learn the definition of: etymological fallacy. 

Bisexuality=attraction to more than one gender. 

Here’s a post with more on that, with multiple links to actual bi orgs, many that have been around for decades. 

No, that doesn’t ‘make pan and ply meaningless’ any more than there being over 50 words like ‘pretty’ and ‘beautiful’ that mean similar but not exactly the same things make those words ‘meaningless’. 

Bisexuality has been inclusive of nonbinary folk since at least the 90s. Read the 1990 Bisexual Manifesto, which contains the line “In fact, don’t assume that there are only two genders.” 

Here’s a video by a bi trans person on how bisexuality is inclusive of nonbinary genders. Here’s a history on how claiming bi means ‘two genders’ has been used to harass bi folk, especially bi trans folk.

Personal note: As a nonbinary bi person, I felt included in the bi community long before the rest of society even considered any trans folk at all were more than just ‘monsters.’ Also, the trans flag was literally inspired by the bi flag.

My best friend is bi and nonbinary. So is my life partner. So is my cousin. So are countless people I love. When you tell us we’re ‘wrong’ about our sexuality, you aren’t ‘helping’ nonbinary folk, and you aren’t ‘helping’ pan and ply folk, as you don’t need to tear down a sexuality to uplift another, and doing so is completely counter productive. Solidarity > bullshit infighting.

Respect what label(s) a person uses for themself, if any. I’m bisexual and nonbinary, and telling me I’m not over and over won’t change that.

“But the type of biphobia that I personally encounter the most in my nice queer little bubble is people saying that bisexuality is transphobic…bisexuality is not transphobic…there are tons of inclusive definitions of bisexuality, whether you definite it as being attracted to two or more genders, or being attracted to people of the same gender as yours as well as people of different genders than yours. ”

Steam sales are on, so I picked up this little cute game Spirit City: Lofi Sessions.✨ These are the decorations that I have unlocked at the moment, I forgot about the wardrobe before running out of currency, oops, haha. But yes there are other LGBTQIA+ decorations.🏳️‍🌈🩷💜💙

Besides having a boring house in real life due to renting, this is basically what I do every day, write, edit, read, and play video games, with one or both my cats keeping me company, haha.

Women's Day has been so heavily co-opted by bourgeois feminism but let's never forget that it originated from the labor movement under the organization of socialists like Theresa Malkiel and Clara Zetkin. It was always meant to be the International WORKING Women's Day.

Theresa Malkiel was a Jewish refugee & sweatshop worker turned head of the Socialist Party of America's Women's National Committee, and Clara Zetkin was a prominent leader of the German socialist movement.

It was a Women's Day gathering in Petrograd that snowballed into the Russian Revolution, a fact often erased.

March is #BiHealthMonth!

Join me in supporting the @bisexualresourcecenter's campaign, "Navigating Bi+ Health in an Uncertain World."

As the BRC states, "This year’s #BiHealthMonth theme, Navigating Bi+ Health in an Uncertain World, recognizes the increasing barriers to healthcare access, the rise of legislative attacks on LGBTQ+ rights, and the urgent need for bi+ and trans solidarity in the fight for health justice. Bi+ people continue to face disproportionately high rates of mental health struggles, violence, and healthcare discrimination. By addressing these systemic challenges, we can work toward a future where bi+ people receive the care, respect, and protections they deserve.."

Learn more at bihealthmonth.org. I'll be sharing resources all month long. Celebrate with us by sharing, boosting bi+ events, and donating to bi+ organizations like the BRC (biresource.org/donate/), The Visibility Impact Fund (visibilityimpactfund.org/donate), or Bi Women Quarterly (biwomenquarterly.com/donate/).
