Tips for Getting Through the Men's Restroom →
thepolitesir: Don’t look at anyone. In the women’s restroom, it’s okay to look at people and even talk to them a bit. That’s not okay in the men’s room and rarely ever happens. You get a cursory glance at the people around you, and that’s it. Don’t look at the floor, just look straight ahead of you. Don’t… Some of these only apply to people who live in the US, but still - pretty sound advice.

dreadful-record-of-sin: I understand that some bisexuals identify their sexuality as “attracted to both people who are and are not my gender”. That is fine and a 100% valid definition and I absolutely support that. It is a good definition. I also understand that some pansexuals outright… I’m actually with OP on this one. While I do think there’s a HUGE problem with...

TL;DR: Can we please stop saying "non-monosexual" →
angrybisexual: anthean: writingfromfactorx: angrybisexual: …unless we also mean asexuals. There already is an umbrella term, widely used for some time now, which most people understand in a similar way… “bisexuals”. Is this a thing? I mean, as an asexual I had always… Before I respond, I have to say that there were many smart and helpful comments in this thread, and...

nailthatsticksup: knusegrus: g0ne-blotto: since gay people call themselves flaming homosexuals can pansexual people call themselves frying pansexuals because not only is it like flaming homosexuals but we also have the benefit of a play on words Can I be a baking bisexual? Blazing bisexual sounds better, imo. I could be a flaring panromantic ace person when I’m in a UC flare-up.

viridian-ebubbles: emkay-mlp: My parents often warned me that people on the internet could be lying about who they really are but I’ve found that the internet is the only place where are truly themselves and in reality they lie about who they are offline. this is so true it hurts Especially relevant for queer and trans* people.

Go home biphobia! YOU SUCK!: pareia:... →
pareia: gohomebiphobia: There’s some weird, awful, self-fulfilling circle going on here. Lesbian and gay people dislike having bi people in their circles, due to any number of reasons, so they exclude them. The bi people are scared to go into “queer” spaces, so they live their lives… +100000 to creating bi communities. This is basically what my activism is about IRL. I have worked...
