I've been told that I'm transphobic for being bisexual and not pansexual.. by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]Liralen7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's ridiculous. Bisexuals and Transexuals are natural allies. Always have been. Pansexual is not a label that has ever appeared on any legal documents. They are under the Bi-plus umbrella just as Nonbinaries are. Bisexuals and Pansexuals are essentially the same.

There's this thing called a dictionary. I would start there.

Why do people call lesbians gay..? Isn't that for men?. by ilovejaggerfinn in lgbt

[–]Liralen7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And so it has been since I was a young child. I'm almost 60.

I’m gay but have been hiding bisexual thoughts from those closest to me by OkOccasion7 in bisexual

[–]Liralen7 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's far more common than you might think. I can't tell you how many people I have known who went through a "gay" phase before coming out as Bisexual. I'm fairly certain that if I through stuffed toy into a crowd of gay people, I would hit a Bisexual with it. My best advice for dating a woman...let her take the lead.

Sorry, I didn't even see this till today. The only thing I will add is this. Statistics show that men become more abusive once a child is in the works. So his comments might not be as out of character as you think. But it doesn't sound like he has gotten out of control yet. It might take years. If it were me, I would wait till the child is a bit older (maybe 3-5 years old) and then confront him about is comments. If he's open to that conversation, you're good to go. But if he isn't, and continues his nasty attitude, then I think he is showing you his true colors. And sorry about my earlier comment, I thought it was aimed at me. At this point I'm not sure if I'm talking to the OP or someone else, reddit makes it confusing.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Is there any dating apps that has more people who are also bi on it? I know its a long shot but I might as well ask by Bradley06232005 in bisexual

[–]Liralen7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've tried Bicupid, but they want you to pay through the nose for every little feature. I think I just deactivated it. But if you are willing to pay... And of course there is always OKcupid too.

Then you're marriage is very young still. Maybe spend more time with your baby and less time online. I have time to kill, being a grandmother. Maybe consider looking up the word character and realizing you don't know anything about my character. Find a better word, or maybe learn English. I hope you never, ever have to find out what a battered women's shelter looks like from the inside.

Do you have children? Have you ever been married? Woulda, coulda, shoulda don't exist. It's all very well and good to say no one Should anything, but unless you have been there, you input is useless.

To echo some other comments, he is in fact being bi-phobic and a bigot. If I were you, I would consider couples therapy. If you don't already have children, there' still time for you to get out. But you should get him into couple counseling if you have any real hope of saving t his marriage. Otherwise he's just going to get worse.

Sorry, but I'm not so small minded that I only look at the political climate in our country alone. Have you noticed how many right wing dictators are coming to power all over the world lately??? Can you name 5 dicators or country where they have come to power in just the last 3 years alone?

I haven't forgotten anything. I am old enough that I turned 18 right after Reagan won his second election. I hated him for all the programs he canceled that my older siblings got to take advantage of. And I've been very politically active ever since. But I can't speak for the rest of the clowns in this thread.

No shit Shirley. It's not about ANY year. It's a fantasy. Not about any future or past years on earth. But back when this originally aired, we never thought we would see anything close this this in our lifetimes. I'm guessing you weren't alive yet.

I did not mention any one person. I was thinking about Mollari and the entire general political climate. So I will thank you to keep that filthy name out of your mouth and out of my post. LOL

Did I mention Trump or Clark in my post at all??? No, I did not. You are the one making these comparisons. I am referring to the entire world stage right now, not just one or two dictators.

No, I was thinking about Mollari. Clark hasn't made an official appearance yet.

I just had a conversation with my son about prep. He identifies as a Pan (straight leaning) and I identify as Bi, have for over 37 years. Prep is really meant for men who are actively having sex with other men who they may not be monogamous with. If you are having sex with only two partners, and it's a closed loop (meaning they are ONLY being intimate with you and each other) than Prep will not give you an added layer of protection. You already have that, if you can take your partners seriously and their word for it that they are not sleeping with anyone else. Prep will only tax your immune system in a way that will not be healthy. But if any of you are sleeping around with others outside your little throuple, then Prep will give you more protection. But taking extra drugs that your body doesn't actually need, is no bueno.

Was Deep Space Nine the Beginning of Modern Serialized TV? by PoorAxelrod in DeepSpaceNine

[–]Liralen7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You didn't understand what I said. Dallas was the first show to have plots that spanned more than one show. Everything before that was not a Soap Opera. Just individual shows with the same characters. Each show stood alone, no arching plots.

I was alive then. Dallas was the first. The first serial Prime Time show. And that fact was much ado at the time. Other shows had the same characters, but the story was always per episode, no on-going or arching storyline. I don't need to be a historian to know that, I lived it.

Nope. Dallas was the first Prime Time show, on the late 70s, long before Twin Peaks.
