"straight passing privilege" is about as privileged as being in the closet. Nobody is accepting us for our bisexual identities, it's either dismissed or we fly under the radar and many times people's perceptions of us as heterosexual means they feel wayy too comfortable cozying up and saying some wild things about same sex attraction or trans people in our presence
Like since when is LGBT ppl dressing publicly in a way less likely to be harassed by bigots a betrayal to the community? Should I wear a shirt that says DON'T GET ME WRONG, I LOVE TITS AND DICK to atone for my sins of possibility of being perceived as heterosexual? (I mean.. I would wear that shirt) like hearing family applaud you for "turning out normal and not gay" and having to bite your tongue so you don't turn the 4th of July into the 4th of shit hardly feels like experiencing privilege

Hey y'all
compliment people more
it really does wonders
I complimented my nurse today's hair and she was thrilled (she had really pretty dyed pink and yellow and orange hair that she said was partially an accident but it looked STUNNING)
plus she'd had a really bad day because a patient had yelled at her for something that wasn't her fault so I made sure to let her know she was doing great and it really seemed to help her feel better.
Just. Please. Find opportunities to compliment people.
