some plague rats posted:Hm. Not sure about this at all. No one is ever going to experience societal oppression for being sapiosexual. No US state is passing laws against mixed-IQ marriage. No one is getting yelled at and beaten on the street for being a smart-fucker. No one is refusing to date anyone who likes the big bang theory. This just doesn't line up The thing is, you don't get to dictate how someone defines themself. You can claim some disconnect between what they say and how they present, though I can't currently imagine a scenario where that isn't rude as hell, but their identity is a fact you just have to acknowledge. e. Not specifically you, you. 3rd person you Bel Shazar fucked around with this message at 23:15 on Apr 14, 2022 |

some plague rats posted:I'm not trying to "dictate how someone defines themself"!!! I'm not saying nobody can call themselves sapiosexual, that's fine, I don't give a poo poo! My point is they're not LGBT and making them part of the movement is counter-productive because they have no actual, material demands for recognition or equality so they're just along for the ride and history has shown people with no personal stake to be unreliable at best allies! Deepest apologies, I read your prior posts quite differently.

OwlFancier posted:Oh sure I know jealousy and infidelity are issues everyone can have, it's just specifically the idea that if you're bisexual you can never really be happy without access to all possible sets of genitalia that is a strange thing to leap to. As if the mechanism of the sex you have is the defining feature of your being. You mean you aren't obligate polyamorous? I just assume anyone who comes at me with that is thinking how they would cheat if the opportunity came up.

Mrenda posted:When society is doing everything to commericialise itself, to almost make you pay for recognition as a living, valuable entity it's difficult for people who are not already valued as members on the pure human level to pay the extra human cost as well as the pure financial. Thank you for the whole post, but particularly this section. I'm about to move and have been thinking hard about how I might plug in to my new area, particularly as an ally. I think I can be in a position to help cover both of those costs.

DeadlyMuffin posted:Is generally lovely foreign policy transphobic because there are trans people in the global south? As far as I'm aware it's just generally bad, but isn't specifically targeting queer people. I believe the argument is that being a piece of poo poo towards the global south leads to larger net negative impacts to trans persons in general when compared to whatever marginally decent thing someone might do at home.
