LGBTQIA+ on Yik Yak | I truly think that like. most people are at least mildly bisexual at a functional/attraction level, but like for most people it isn’t enough one way or another to like. identify with the label? idk attraction is weird and labels are also weird

I do think our heteronormative society through centuries has discouraged people from exploring outside of heterosexuality to a degree (some times and settings were better than others ofc) but I think you should be careful saying this to other queer people that have already fought and worked through so much to be the people we are, labels have helped people convey how they see themselves and communicate that to others within the community and to build spaces for us to be safe

Nope I have no attraction to men and never have and never will

This is the same logic that was used on me before I was r@ped bc I couldn’t possibly be a lesbian, I had to at least be a little bi

I definitely think more people are bisexual, I’m specifically talking about like most “straight” people. Like I’ve heard many straight people talk about how hot someone of the same sex is and then be like “haha but I’m not gay!”

No I agree !! I identify with a label myself I’m just stating from like a perspective of like, I think there are way more bisexual people at like an attraction level than there aren’t. If that makes sense?

Just because you personally do not understand the way that certain people in the community experience their life doesn’t make it ok to theorize about their sexuality, personally ive been told the exact same rhetoric from whatever this school of thought is called and those that believe in forms of conversion therapy, the only difference being the former use it as a method of coercion to try to get me to sleep with them, just selfish vs religious motivation

Your post didn’t specify that, you said most *people* are at least mildly bi, and that it isn’t “one way or another” im glad you clarified but thats not the impression that the wording gives off, it’s likely why ppl were downvoting this

I should have said that in the post but at the end of the day it does not matter

You should have, i think you would’ve saved yourself a lot of criticism, and it would have changed the point you were originally making personally I still think it matters to be aware of dogwhistles that directly harm people in our community, but to each their own, I’m not gonna jump into whatever cat fight is going on in that other post though because that shit helps no one

Hey so you were. You have had other people telling you that what you said is a dog whistle and is used for conversion therapy and conversion r@pe and you kept it up so yeah you are

It’s okay, I just hate when people try to play dumb and act like they can go around disrespecting everyone else’s sexuality bc they are bisexual
