”separate art from the artist” but art is self expression of the artist, it reflects their inner self, there is no art without the artist. you cannot separate the creation from the creator.

i don’t mean to start any wars within the lgbtq community, but please think about if straight men treated bi women the way some lesbians do.
”oh but she has been stained by being with women, i don’t want a woman who has been with a woman like that”
”but she will be centering women”
”but she won’t be loyal bc she likes women too! she will be just crawing pussy all the time you’re together”
you see the issue? and not to even begin with the ”confused” comments
#to clarify this is absolutely not all lesbians#just the biphobic ones#preferences are fine but do not hide the biphobia behind them#i wish some of you will realize how bad your comments sound said this way#lgbtq#pride

It’s sad how much of what is taught in school is useless to over 99% of the population.
There are literally math concepts taught in high school and middle school that are only used in extremely specialized fields or that are even so outdated they aren’t used anymore!

legitimately my first feminist awakening as a ten year old child was realizing that girls were expected to respect “boy stuff” but boys were never expected to respect “girl stuff”

pro-life was never about life. because if it was, then you wouldn’t see these pro-lifers still be against abortion when you tell them that in some cases abortion saves lives. sometimes an abortion left undone can cost two lives, the mother’s and the baby’s. with proper care the abortion can save the mother. but it was never about life, it was about control. and i’m sick of seeing the pro-lifers pretend that they care about life when they’d rather leave a 10 year old kid die out of pregnancy than give them proper care. abortion is healthcare.

I have personal beef with Butler and her way of writing. Am I supposed to make any sense of this. Or maybe I am not philosophical enough to get it.

My story about being a bisexual woman
Let me start this by saying, there was an article written by a straight man, about bi women. Unsurprisingly, it was bullshit. So it inspired me, a bi woman to talk about my sexuality.
I was never really interested in boys. I grew up with a friendgroup of all girls. I did ballet, I loved everything ”kawaii”, I loved pink and glitter and dolls. I had an all girls friendgroup. When I was 11 years old i started to develop feelings for my friend, but I didn’t know what those feelings were. They caused a lot of confusion as I felt jealous of her and I didn’t know what was causing these feelings. As I grew a little older I started to develop a weird obsession of learning about the LGBTQ community. I just thought I was the best ally ever. I also did a lot of ”Am I gay” quizes. Until it hit me. The feeling was a crush and I was gay. (the quiz results didn’t tell me that but after a while I realized no other straight person is doing this shit so that must be proof enough of my gayness).
I remember how hard it was for me. I thought that ”yeah I have no problem with others being gay but me? No I can’t be gay. No way” and the internalized homophobia was hitting hard. When one of my friends came out of the closet to me, I felt like I could also finally come out, and maybe in the process admit my gayness to myself. I wasn’t really sure what I was. I didn’t fully understand my feelings yet I just came out with some identity and clarified that yes I like girls and boys. To my shock though, my friends who were very much allies to my other friend, didn’t seem to take my sexuality seriously. That mental toll somehow made me feel ashamed of my feelings towards women. I felt as if I need to constantly prove my gayness to my friends yet also hide it from the very much homophobic other environment.
I did have some crushes on guys in middle school, I just never really got anything out of them. I was too awkward and boys were like aliens to me. I had nothing in common with them. I lived in a girl centered world where I had girl friends and girly hobbies and I loved girls. I am so glad that I got to live such a girl centered youth. My girl friends mean so much to me still and I think that plays a crucial part to my identity that my gayness in a way, kept me safe from the society’s heteronormative standards of the patriarchy… or did it?
When I got in high school I got my first boyfriend. Mind the fact that before that I had barely even talked to boys. Happens that my inexperience and need for experience led me in a bad place and I dated the biggest jerk for way too long and I felt that as this all happened, I started to lose myself into the claws of patriarchy. I started to yearn that male attention I didn’t used to care of. Ever since, I have not remained single for long times. I have only dated men ever since.
I still love women. I’m still very gay. Somehow I still feel very uncomfortable with my sexuality, even when people think it’s ”trendy” to be bi. I never thought that way. I used to hate myself for being gay. I started centering men so much and I’m still learning out of it. Slowly as I’ve gotten more mature, I have gotten more comfortable with my sexuality. I have tried to put myself out there for women but suddenly I feel like I’m just not gay enough for queer women. They’re not interested in me. Or maybe men are just easy? Anyhow, I have kissed more women than men yet I have never been intimate with a woman. With men I have.
One thing I’m proud of is that I never devalued my female friends, they remain ever so dear to me. I have questioned my sexuality so many times in my life. Am I bi? Do I even really like men at all? Or am I faking my love for women to be cool (while I have not told to almost anyone about it and it’s my little secret)? What I’m getting at is: sexuality is complex, children can be gay and instead of sex education being confusing to them, the lack of it is confusing, as they don’t know how they feel. And patriarchy does affect you. Even when you think you haven’t been affected that bad. And yes, doing ”Am I Gay” quizes means you’re gay. And female centered life is fucking awesome!
I just find it funny how I was more into girls by default, but at some point maybe the societal pressure made me be more male centered and so my sexuality leaned more towards men. Now I feel like I will get a lot of comp het accusations after this and I do admit that I have thought about it many times. I still do. But at the same time I feel like my attraction to men is genuine even though I aknowledge a lot of it is influenced by the environment.
I really don’t know what I might be even going for with this, but I hope it helps someone. Maybe someone can relate. Maybe even when the message isn’t clear, it’s important that LGBTQ voices are heard and our stories get told. Even the simple ones.
