yvannairieA fight broke out on a Discord server I'm on about the old hat of whether making metonymic comments about "The Straights" is bad praxis b/c it alienates potential allies and IDK what about it slammed me as hard as it did, but now I'm just all floppy and listless.
I'm just as tired of queer people arguing amongst themselves and not being able to express anger however they want as the next queer, but as a bisexual who's had their life straightwashed and who has been subjected to "straight-passing" and "monosexuality" biphobic discourse in the past, I understand the knee-jerk "would you stop it with the constant generalisation" kneejerk creation whenever someone starts doing it
and at the same time I see the demand for perfect rhetoric as the fragile defensiveness that it so often is, and I just wish people who have their feelings hurt by someone else's pain would find a place that isn't the conversation about those hurt feelings to discuss their own pain.
(And I wanted to write, too. Dammit.)
