"This isn't funny Dean! The voice says I'm almost out of minutes!"
I may have really stepped into it in the comments over on
fandomsecrets, but I get frustrated when people try to erase other people's experiences. I should have just let the trolling stand without rising to the wank, but the sheer number of extremely stupid comments. So I did the classy thing and ended up wanking all over the place. Oh well. I liked the part when someone called me an asshole when I said that sexual identity-wise no one is 100% anything. Oh well.
We have a winner. Unbelievable.
I still find myself always taken by total surprise when people show up being biphobic, especially in the queer-identifying community. I can understand how transpeople can be more confusing to someone who is cisgendered, especially since our positive media portrayals are... where? Not that that makes transphobia any more tolerable, but it makes more sense that it's something that's harder for most people to relate to or understand. But biphobia, what the fucking fuck. I thought we got over this decades ago.
Outright asexual phobia doesn't exist; instead, it's met with disbelief or just outright dismissed. And for the most part, while I don't think it's necessary to go blaring about your sexuality all the time, it's the internet, so it's not surprising that people are excited to articulate their identities in the relative safety of anonymity.
Yeah, yeah, I know I know:
