#bi/ace solidarity

Where's that post where it's like "realizing you weren't straight in high school but gay didn't fit either" pipeline/solidarity between Bisexuals and Aces, and one of the replies was "they both had the same idea but in different directions"?

pride month soon!! if you treat bisexuality or asexuality as “lesser” queer identities, “basically straight”, or a “consolation prize”, die by my blade.

I painted a mug and I put the ace flag on it ‘n it was that shade of purple

CONTROVERSIAL OPINION ABOUT BISEXUALITY

that purple in the middle is not the right saturation, it doesn't fit with the other two colors and it drives me crazy.

I love that when Isaac came out to the group that Nick was the first one who said something understanding and supportive

Anyway bi and ace solidarity forever

I'm a lesbian; but I acknowledge that Dorothea Arnault is bisexual, so all the idiots erasing her bisexuality can kindly stfu.

"B-but Dorothea is afflicted by comphet!!!"

...You are aware queer folks in general, bi gals included, are affected by comphet...? Like... comphet affects bi gals by invalidating their attraction to femmes/women...? So they may not initially realise they might be bi...?

Hey fellow allos, if you have a bit of time, go check out the recent posts in the asexual tag. It's full of bots, mostly trying to get you to click a link by pretending to sell products, but there's some thirst trap crap in there too. Most but not all of the bots have URLs that end in a number and letter.

To be clear, you want to report them as bots, not as sexually explicit! That level of sexiness is well within the ToS. But it shouldn't be in the ace tag

to all those fighting against the bots in the pride tags: take this potion of strength! slay thy enemies!

So, Bi Loona truthers, how does it feel to win?

MQ is obsessed with FX cuz he knows that stupid poem, blah, blah...

My brother in christ. My sister in sacrilege. FX's official heavenly title is literally Biggus Dickus. You are telling me that you wouldn't tease the heck out of him every chance you get? Get out of here

actually if we want to be more specific, the alloaros and alloaces who sided with exclusionists during the aspec harassment campaign didn't call the rest of us "non-Queers", they called us "non-SGAs" and "cishet aces and aros" or just straight up "cishets".

Applied to literally every ace and aro and aroace person who wasn't either homosexual aromantic or homoromantix asexual.

Because at that time the exclusionists were trying to beat the word "Queer" to death because they didn't like how inherently open-ended and accepting it is compared to "LGBT".

And yes. They called all aces and aros and aroace people who weren't allogay in one way or another cishet, including the people who were aroace and ~SGA~ (same gender attracted/attraction), and the ones who were openly trans and nonbinary.

They didn't care that not being attracted to the opposite gender inherently means you cannot be "het", because they were pretending that the only way to really be not straight was to feel attration to the opposite gender. Literally erasing aromanticism and asexuality as orientations and turning them only into modifiers for your ""real"" orientation, which was either straight, or gay, and you didn't get to decide it for yourself, either.

They literally did not care how many people they had to misgender and erase to pretend that any aspec person who wasn't acceptably allogay wasn't Queer and had no right to call themselves such.

And let's not forget they all went around claiming that every single aspec person was white and a white supremacist, erasing and speaking over all of the openly Black and brown aspec people, while there was literally one big exclusionist who got found out for literally racefaking to help spread the racist rhetoric and claim that any criticism of it was "just more racism".

Like. Do we gotta just go over the whole history lesson for people who weren't there? Because I'm getting really tired of people within the aspec community constantly vomiting up the exact same rhetoric as exclusionists but pretending it's okay because they're aspec too. Like same-gender-attracted alloaros and alloaces weren't some of the biggest accomplices and sellouts of the whole thing. Which went on for years.

i love the term queer in relation to myself because it feels so nebulous and fluid, but also so strong. non-newtonian. like the oobleck of identitifiers. subject to extreme change, but solid in its own unique way, especially when struck. that's just my interpretation of it, but i think it's delightful.

The bi / ace alliance is so precious 🥰

[jupeywoopy]

I think aro, ace, and bi people should all start a union in the Queer community where we all join together to tell people to shut up whenever they pull crazy stunts
