News Trans character announced

I've tried to convince an otherwise smart person that bi doesn't mean you need both at the same time - but I gave up cause some people's mind is simply made up beyond repair XD

Some people are just very dumb and think bi people are faking it or 'undecided'. No sweetie, sometimes I want to date Inoue Masahiro or Kubota Yuuki and other days I want to date Mizuki Nana. :p Sometimes it happens all in one day!

It's very insulting, especially when other queer people want to try and define your sexuality for you. I know bi people often have a hard time being accepted by gay people or outright get dumped when their attraction to other genders is revealed.

Yes, some gays will tell bis that they're actually straights just hopping on the diversity trend train, or that they're gay cowards who don't dare go all the way and stuff like that, or suggest they shouldn't be at gay events :rolleyes:

Yeah, that hasn't happened to me yet but I also just normally socialized with trans people (many of whom are bi). I can't imagine how awkward or angry I would feel if I was ever told that in real life.

Well, I guess I can. Christ knows when I came out at a job I'd held for over four years I faced a ton of shit for it. :|
 
A bi friend told me a while ago that people he really would expect would know better have expressed confusion to him about how he can be happy in a monogamous marriage.*


*Personally, not real clear here on how straight people are happy in marriage, and I gave it my - okay, not my best, but a lot of years, anyway.

My wife and I are coming up on 27 years of marriage, and I think we are both pretty happy. But it definitely isn’t easy.
 
Sometimes I think that my marriage could have been happy if I had been less of an asshole - which is, put another way, saying that my ex could have been happily married to someone else. :lol:

The delusion persists partly, I guess, because we're such good friends now. But every so often we're called upon to work together on one thing or another that requires us to resolve and agree on a lot of details - like a family gathering - and reality crashes in. We wore out our patience with one another's idiosyncrasies decades ago, and that's apparently not renewable.
 
Bi people are often confused for being poly, but the two are very separate. Bi simply means you experience attraction to men, women and enbies. You can be bi and poly or you can be bi or mono. I'm mono myself but being poly is still valid.
 
Maybe he's transphobic, but that link doesn't prove it.

He doesn't like being called CIS because it's always a prelude to an attack.

Who likes being attacked?

Masochists.

I bet lots of people like Shatner aren't even familiar with the word. Probably thinks someone is calling him a sissy. Shatner strikes me as someone who wants to always be seen as strong and rugged almost like a cowboy. Would explain his love for horses. We also know his ego is large.

I've always considered myself bi-curious but nobody even uses that word anymore so I don't even know what label I am these days. I do know I tend to be more submissive when it comes to thinking about sex but that is about it.

At the end of the day your sexuality is up to you and you alone to define.

I thought I was a cishet man up until 2018, myself. I never asked whether I was a anything else to avoid trouble with my family but then the pressure of repression really kept building. In 2018 I began to identify as pansexual after falling in love with a male friend and then began to realize that I didn't want to be a boyfriend, but a girlfriend. Now I feel firmly confident as a transbi woman.

Also, subs rule! I'm sometimes a switch, though.

It's possible that he thinks people are calling him a sissy, but that would mean that Shatner is a moron.

Rich old white men are class driven racists that have been in charge for the last 10 thousand years religating every other class of people to guarantee their power base, including women.

Qualifying rich old cis white men as the the definitive problem, rather than just rich old white men is just letting Kaitlyn Jenner off the hook for the first half of her life.

The problem isn't rich old cis white men.

The problem is men.

Caitlyn Jenner is a woman but she's just proof that white trans women and wealthy white trans women are still contributors to the white supremacy. Jenner can go to hell for all I care, what she's argued in favor of while enjoying the privilege of being white and wealthy is nothing short of monstrous.

While it's possible for trans men to exhibit toxic masculinity they are still victims of the system and the system is ruled by the wealthy, cis white men. To include them with cis men like that is wrong.
 
I keep seeing people bringing up that TNG episode on social media with the SEXUAL ORGANS COMMANDER line, but I think people doing that need to realise that the only reason they went that direction was studio cowardice about homosexuality. Which ain't a great look.

What I found hilariously cowardly is that Soran didn't reach their life changing epiphany until after a head trauma and concussion.

As I said, The Outcast was worse than nothing. Plus casting a female actress in the role just made it look like it was an episode about Riker teaching a female alien to be heterosexual.
Woooo "gay/trans representation" :shrug:
 
The second capitalism thinks it can employ rainbow capitalism it will but until then doing the right thing--supporting queer people, especially Queer People of Color--can go fuck itself.

The studio is never our friend.

The studio is amoral at best. But it's a good barometer for being able to tell what it perceives mainstream audiences will accept. It's a gauge to judge the temperature of the room or, in this case, the society. Looks like the temperature has gone from freezing to lukewarm.
