‘I’m a woman-leaning bisexual and you know what pisses me off? The fact that I’m dating a skinny white man and I love him and I’m happy, like what the fuck.’

And I just have to say. What pisses me off as a bisexual woman is that TikTok.

This is the Woke version of ‘my wife is the ol’ ball and chain, doesn’t it suck to be married,’ jokes. It’s not funny. Your queerness is not negated or tarnished by opposite-gender attraction, dating men isn’t inherently worse than dating women.

Love your partner.

Cherish them.

I’m getting REAL SICK of that “bisexual means I’m attracted to all women and two men” joke. I’m getting equally sick of the implication, in a thousand ways, that men are bad and it’s inherently worse to be attracted to them. If you’re a woman or woman-adjacent and you fall in love with a man, there’s this horrible and easy-to-internalize idea that you’re taking the lesser option.

Like y’all. Y’all? You know that’s gender essentialist radfem bullshit, right?

If you didn’t, I’d like to gently suggest you consider the idea that “Men are problematic (read: sinful) and violent, women are pure, beautiful and loving” is just conservative Christian ideology in a gay hat. We are not advancing towards equality for all genders by flipping which end of the scale is The Bad One ™.

I’m bisexual. I make a point of talking about being queer (because it’s my identity and culture, and that’s important to me), and I present mostly in the androgynous area of the spectrum. People often assume I’m only/mostly interested in women.

That’s actually not true. I like all genders, but when it comes to specific people, I’m most often attracted to men. And it makes me sad – really, genuinely sad – how many times I’ve felt ashamed to talk about that. Even though I’m not a woman, liking a man has made me feel “not queer enough.” Hell, some days it still does.

I’m gonna say this, even though I know a lot of people won’t like it. And I will also say in advance that I am not accepting criticism and I don’t argue on the internet as a personal mental health policy.

That said, here is the statement: This too is a closet.

If you’re a man, absolutely do not date someone who thinks their attraction or affection for you is something they ought to be ashamed of.

My teacher handed them back the next day with an obvious zero written on mine, and when I started crying in class he told me that’s what I get for cheating, in front of everyone.

My therapist asked me why I saw her as separate from myself. I realized I felt that at some point between then and Adulthood, that girl had died, and I was mourning her death. All the time, I looked at photos of my younger self as if they were memories of a childhood friend I’d lost.

My therapist helped me understand and accept that she never died, she is me, and by surviving, I did save her life. She is alive, and those hopes and dreams she had before she felt pain and loss still exist in me. And every time someone treats me badly and I stand up for myself, I am standing up for her. Every time I try to get better, I am nursing her back to health. Every time I take care of myself, I am taking care of her. I am the adult she needed.

She was saved, because she is me, and I saved myself. I saved her. I saved us both.

The first protest for legal abortion in democracy in Argentina was on March 7, 1984. 36 years later, December 30, 2020 at 04:13 am, abortion is now officially legal, safe and free for all women. Women have fought for so long to obtain rights of this kind. This is a HUGE step for us, what an amazing day. EL ABORTO ES LEGAL 💚

PLEASE REBLOG TO MAKE EVERYONE KNOW WHY TODAY'S IS A VERY IMPORTANT DAY IN ARGENTINA'S HISTORY.

Two years have passed since the last time the abortion legalization law was discussed in the Senate and was rejected, and a total of thirteen years have passed since it was first introduced as a law projecteaning this would be the seventh time it has been introduced since then).

For thirteen years, women and gestating bodies from all over the country have come together to march in the streets several times a year to ask once again that abortion is legal, safe and free.

Furthermore, this struggle that continues to unite us throughout the years has gained strength in the last 3 years along with the strength of the feminist waves, making us even more confident and strong than ever to say that today has to happen.

This day sums up years and years of struggle, but what happens today depends on the life of thousands of women and gestating bodies.

That this law is approved today is essential so that thousands of poor women (and gestating bodies) who cannot have a safe abortion stop dying in hiding.

That today it is approved in a country as impoverished as Argentina is essential to ensure that the state assists those who do not have the resources to pay for it and prevent them from dying in hiding.

That after all these years of struggle this law is approved would guarantee that schools have proper and obligatory sexual education for everyone, that hospitals and clinics guarantee information about (and) birth control methods for free and that no entity can refuse performing an abortion despite whatever reason they're against it. Because after all, this is not am ideological issue, it is about public health.

That this finally gets approval would mean that not only grown women but also little girls (and) victims of abuse from all around the country will finally get the chance to decide over their own bodies and lifes, that they will have a future guaranteed instead of dying alone in a clandestine clinic on the slums. That they're not alone anymore.

Until now, scraping with metal hangers, parsley branches and other sharp elements that lead to internal wounds that cause mostal bleeding has been the only option for those who can't (or don't want) to have a baby but don't have the money to pay for a safe (but still illegal) abortion either.

We want this to end now.

It is not about having or not an abortion done, it is about it being it legal, safe and free to end the death of thousands of women and pregnant bodies in hiding.
