LGBTQIA+ on Yik Yak | I’m so sick of people arguing over whether bi people have privilege. My boyfriend is bisexual, and I’m a non passing trans man. We are in a gay relationship. By your logic my shitty semi-closeted situation gives us privilege. It doesn’t. Fuck off.

EXACTLY. my bf and i are both bi, but just because we look like we’re both straight, we have more privilege? 😐 it’s also such a dumb thing to argue about during pride month

That’s not because you are bisexual it’s because you are transgender. Victim victim victim

I mean technically you do because you pass as the accepted majority it’s not necessarily a bad thing because unfortunately that’s the society we live in but I think just like white privilege we should acknowledge it and it’s not a bad thing to discuss it just means that you move through the world differently than someone that doesn’t look visibly cis or straight

Genuinely lmao. Like yeah a bisexual black, disabled, non-binary person of immigrant origin is more oppressed than a gay white guy. I don’t think anyone was ever trying to say otherwise

They kind of are though because OOP is insinuating that being perceived as straight is some kind of personal attack or some struggle when it genuinely is something that makes your life easier in the long run but people on here refuse to learn about intersectionality because that means they have to deconstruct things and can’t constantly victimize themselves
