#especially considering i'm nonbinary and i actually mentioned the ideal wish to have every gender symbol in the book

[cat-sapphics]

this post was long overdue, but anyways - funny, isn't it, how bisexual sapphics on twitter are forbidden to use the double venus symbol (⚢) or for bisexual mlm, the double mars symbol (⚣), but the monosexuals have absolutely no issue with us using the intertwined venus & mars symbol (⚤) to represent only one "half" of our sexuality (aka the "bihet" side) "as a solution" to there being no unicode symbol for either double mars & double venus together, or a blank circle symbol intertwined with one of each?

and i get that their conscious logic here is probably, "well those are the genders you'd date so!! you can use it!!", but it's so obviously inconsistent with the purpose they assign for their own gay symbols, as those ones include a representation of themselves. so, following that logic, the m/f symbol must include the bisexual individual, therefore making it symbolic of a straight relationship.

it's almost like they just want to gatekeep a symbol from us because they're biphobic, hate bisexuals celebrating their pride, and want to make sure we don't have anything for ourselves that they can't have too (but don't forget that most sapphic things are supposed to be lesbian-exclusive first, unless approved by them!!) 🤔

of course, we shouldn't be stopping bisexuals in straight relationships from using the v/m symbol if they want to. it wouldn't make them any less inherently lgBt, y'know? but even then they have a right to the d/v or d/m if they wish to put emphasis on their similar-gender-attraction pride (regardless of relationship status or with whom). and... y'know... also when they're dating someone of the same gender/sex. but that's the main point of the post, so mentioning it is redundant.

i never even got it in the first place anyway, just because these symbols represent (potential or current) relationship status and not... sexuality? like, a venus symbol represents a female person, not an asexual female, yeah? double venus represents a female of any sexuality in a relationship with a female of any sexuality, same goes for double mars, and same goes for one venus intertwined with one mars.

the REASON WHY we don't have the symbols shown below (cause logically, we'd need two) as a unicode, is because it represents sexuality, not relationship status. at least, that's what i can assume/conclude. but that isn't to say that it wouldn't be nice to have it anyway - even then though, we still have a right to the "gay/monosexual only" symbols. i shouldn't have to explain it, but i did.

i'm basing all of this around sex, by the way, mainly because we're most likely never gonna get each and every one of the popular nonbinary gender symbols at all ever, among other reasons that i won't dive into past "sexuality is based on sex and the only people in a relationship would be those who are biologically male or female (AMAB or AFAB) as their are no other options for the human species."

so... yeah. stop gatekeeping these symbols. if you do that, i outright hate you, and i want you to know that you're not just biphobic and selfish, but stupid. outright stupid. you are not intelligent. you lack common sense and critical thinking skills. your argument is baseless. not sorry xo
