Granted I’m not going to rail on heterosexuality because there are many POCs who are heterosexual and I believe in intersectionality. But I will say this- confining yourself to heterosexuality (or homosexuality, even) can be a bit oppressive.

How does a straight person even know they are straight? We live in a world where they’re TOLD to be straight, so I have a feeling if society didn’t function the way it did, more people would be open to dating non-binary people, trans people, and people of the same gender (as well as people of both/no genders or people who do not acknowledge gender).

Gender is a made-up construct, so why on earth is it “natural” for so many people to “naturally” be attracted to just one gender?

I also wonder if many gay men (specifically white cis gay men) use their homosexuality to be oppressive to women. It’s a lot easier to say that vaginas “need to be cleaned”* and patrairchal oppressive shit like that if you can backtrack and say “But I’m gay!!!”





* vaginas are self-cleaning, any kind of soap we use on them is for other people’s sensitivities only, you would be perfectly healthy if you did not wash it. thx (http://www.divinecaroline.com/self/wellness/seven-things-you-probably-didn%E2%80%99t-know-about-vagina)
