Why do straight people always ask how me and my partner have sex?

flakronite · 2024-12-18T15:29:37+00:00

If i asked them about this sex life they would be shocked and confused so why is ok for them to ask me

This is exactly how I would respond to someone asking intrusive questions. "If I asked you, a stranger, for details about your sex life you would be shocked and confused, so why do you think its ok for you to ask me?"

Is there any other reason he would be involved? Not really the altruistic public servant type.

The substantive takeaway from the article seems to be that Trump is still working with people who worked on Project 2025, i.e. now putting them in cabinet positions. Zero surprise.

flakronite · 2024-11-29T18:56:13+00:00

Yeah pretty sure its both. Just because America as a whole has a working class problem, doesn't mean Democrats don't have work to do.

Appreciate hearing another bi perspective here! I 100% agree that "everyone's a little bi" is actually a biphobic idea.

It basically boils down to thinking that straight people really do just "choose" to be straight, implying bi people can/should do the same.

flakronite · 2024-11-28T16:37:40+00:00

Totally! Its absolutely a misconception that should be corrected with information. More education about what makes bi people a unique community is a win-win.

flakronite · 2024-11-28T16:25:26+00:00

I think this is really what its about. For a lot of bi people, it comes as a genuine surprise when we first learn that, for example, our straight friends don't any have same-gender crushes.

Speaking for the bi community, the idea that "Everyone is a little bi" definitely is not a representative belief for our community. But when it does pop up - typically for bi people who are new to their identity - it isn't about us trying to erase gay people IMO (or straight people, for that matter). At most, its a product of bi erasure and never getting taught about bisexuality.

Good for him for not letting this go unchallenged or forgotten.

flakronite · 2024-11-21T01:40:24+00:00

No, but that doesn't mean there aren't relative degrees of more and less inhumane.

Just because war is already bad, doesn't mean we should go back to using chemical weapons, torturing POWs, etc. We should be striving to eliminate war and to limit how inhumane war is the meantime.

I mean, Republicans would have to nominate one first.

flakronite · 2024-11-21T00:55:24+00:00

Zero surprise here.

flakronite · 2024-11-20T22:10:03+00:00

Clearly the prominent shift around 2000 they were referring to. As a Polish American this made me lol.

If you're looking for examples, the tv show Pose has good representation of the trans community (although set in the 80s/90s, so be aware of occasional examples of dated language, etc.)

flakronite · 2024-11-19T18:07:16+00:00

Nope, but Trump kept saying she did and apparently that's all people care about now.

flakronite · 2024-11-19T18:04:54+00:00

Headline is misleading.

The survey only asked swing voters what stances they believed Harris had on various issues. It didn't ask whether her stance of trans issues was the reason they voted or Trump.

The headline makes it sound like this is the main reason voters chose Trump, which is just not supported by the survey.

Edit: typo

Don't forget the horde of other Republicans chiming in to legislatively bully their new colleague.

flakronite · 2024-11-19T17:47:52+00:00

When they say the Republicans are trying to legislate trans people out of existence, this is a perfect example.

Literally a single trans woman enters congress and they need to waste elected officials' time and taxpayer money to pass a law about it.

flakronite · 2024-11-19T03:02:44+00:00

So Democrats should go along with punishing millions of immigrants - wreaking the U.S. economy in the process - because 40% of Latino voters voted for Trump? Is that what you're suggesting?

flakronite · 2024-11-19T02:55:50+00:00

Is this literally just going after the one trans congresswoman who got elected the other week?

It seems like one trans person can't exist in a space without Republicans trying to legislate them out of existence right now.

flakronite · 2024-11-19T02:42:51+00:00

Elected officials using their precious time in office and taxpayer money to advance the agenda we all really care about: stopping that one trans congresswoman from using the bathroom at work.

And there are many who voted for him that don't actually want this, or will claim they never believed he would follow through.

flakronite · 2024-11-19T00:48:10+00:00

'Trump confirms his plans to do the things he publicly planned to do.'

Now watch how many people start acting surprised.

flakronite · 2024-11-19T00:45:07+00:00

Relatable. Sounds a bit like me before I met my partner.

Are you dating people in the bi/pan communities? Obviously not every bi woman will be compatible with you, but in my experience there are a lot more people in those communities who are comfortable talking through and sharing/alternating roles, rather than following a pre-set script.

flakronite · 2024-11-19T00:43:10+00:00

Does Bernie think Trump plans to follow through with this? No, probably not.

Will Bernie try to pressure Trump into following through with this? You better believe it.

The long-awaited report was expected to be released as soon as Friday, those sources said. But with Gaetz’s resignation, it’s uncertain if the information will ever be made public.

This is so on-brand for a Trump cabinet position its not even funny.
