it really is very interesting to me that people who think they sound quite intelligent on this website are very willing to label dead/historical figures “gay/lesbian” while balking at labeling dead/historical figures “bisexual”, often claiming that “bisexual” is a label restricted to a modern, western time frame, as if gay/lesbian aren’t terms also created within that same relative time/geographic frame, defined/pathologized through similar institutions and disciplines (sexology, psychology, medicine, etc). and i didn’t write this post as a response to any discourse or anything - what i’m describing is an actual trend in transnational queer studies! clare hemmings has a phenomenal article about this that i recommend reading (if you have an open mind). i’ve actually posted some excerpts and quotes from it before but it’s one of my favorite articles ever about bisexuality. 

i completely forgot to post a link to the article lmao, my bad! it’s called “What’s in a name? Bisexuality, transnational studies and western colonial legacies”  (by Clare Hemmings)
