ritchludlow: forgetpolitics: 1. Dan Savage hates trans people and uses transphobic slurs. “Children have a right to some stability and constancy from the adults in their lives. Perhaps I’m a transphobic bigot, but I honestly think waiting a measly 36 months to cut your dick is a sacrifice any father should be willing to make for his 15-year-old son. Call me old-fashioned. Unfortunately,...

BISEXUAL: Can we call it "same-sex marriage" not... →
bisexual-community: b-i-s-e-x-u-a-l-teens: So, I was wondering.  Can we stop exclusively calling it “gay marriage” and start calling it “same-sex marriage” instead?  If I marry a woman it won’t be “gay marriage” because I’m bi but that doesn’t make it any more legal than “gay marriage.”  There are a lot of situations, not just gay men marrying gay men and lesbians marrying lesbians.   There...

xxmoonowlxx: Bisexuals-Bi people are attracted to two genders, typically men and women. A bi person can be attracted to a transman or a transwomen and still be considered “bisexual”, because a transman is a man and a transwoman is a woman, just like if a gay man is attracted to a transman, he’s still a gay man. Bisexual people usually aren’t attracted to people who are not men or women, though...
