as a queer man, i will never feel safe around people who go on about how they hate men, how men are trash, etc. etc. i will never feel included, supported, or protected when people say that. it only makes me feel awful for being who i am, and like i'm looked down upon and resented because of my gender, or who i love.
it makes me want to hole myself away somewhere and hide, knowing on some level i can never be my true self with this person. they can go "oh but not you" all they want. it doesn't make me feel any less hurt and ashamed. those few words imply so much more about how they view gender than they realize.
Hank Green's bi journey is giving me life today, so I'm going to share I bit of a timeline of the highlights as I see them. If a more dedicated Nerdfighter thinks I've forgotten something, please do reblog and add in your highlights.

a horatian flag for anon!
horatian is a historical term for bisexual men that was used in the 19th century by lord byron and his circle at oxford. the flag is based on the bi flag, with extra blue stripes for manhood and all the colors desaturated to look older.
