Hey

Came here just vent, feel free to ignore this post.

I was going to post this anonymously, since I don't appreciate exposing myself, but I might just delete this later.

So, just picked a fight in a bi sub. It was still on the discussion over the biphobia on the lesbian community and all. Received some dislikes, new it wasn't worth picking up this fight and just got disappointed by the lack of intellectual honesty in the discussion.

Just to not sound random here, my first crush was a boy, we grew up together and he was my best friend. He was the only kid in my building and my only option to play with. In my teenage years I had a "crush" on a girl friend, it was more attraction than falling in love, but pretty much undeniable and hard to confuse with anything else. I'm a young adult now and my last crush was a woman again, this time I kinda fell for her and fumbled the bag because I might be avoidant.

I picked this fight because I genuinely just feel bad for people who were mistreated both in the past and now. I know it sounds like nice girl shit, but my empathy came defective and sometimes gets overwhelming. I've read so many stories of broken-hearted people that I just felt like shit and I wasn't even the one doing those things. I like politics (precisely because of my defective empathy) and history too, I've researched about stonewall and actually did a short course on the lgbt history (by Veduca) when I was a teen and figuring myself out. It just pisses me off people treating this as joke, being bisexual is not a fucking joke. We're a minority too and I'm tired of having to remind people of that. This shit is not trendy. The moment we fall for a woman and decide to be with them bigots will come for us too. We're not premium gays or smt.

Accountability and honesty feel like such simple things to me, you just have to ask yourself "why am I doing this?". I've seen this in real life. I'm not trying to invalidate anyone, I'm just asking for freaking honesty. And consideration for those who either had shit in the past or didn't had the luxury to stay alive to have shit. That's pretty much it. Make of this post what you will. If you see bad faith in it, that's on you.
