I dunno, sometimes it feels much better to have a neutral word to describe a neutral reality rather than being defaulted to "gay" at best and "frigid bitch" at worst
don't tell me homophobia doesn't exist when me and my friend (both girls) got in trouble in 8th grade for simply holding hands while straight couples could grope each other with no consequences.
it's so crazy to see cishet people complaining abt lgbtq+ people being openly lgbtq+ like oh I'm sorry was it your turn to shine your heterosexuality to the world as if you haven't been doing that since humans started understanding the concept of sexuality?????
if kids shouldn't be influenced by the lgbtq media, then they shouldn't be influenced by the straight media as well. if you wanna ban the topic of sexuality/gender from elementary schools, then ban it completely. not just the non-straight non-cis part of it. then you'll see why that's not a good idea.
once everyone realizes we're made of waves rather than particles, which means we're all infinitely connected with each other and basically the whole universe, which means what you do to someone/something else affects you as well, we'll all start thinking more about our actions.
also i fucking hate that libfems act like its an epic girlboss moment whenever industries that oppress women broaden the amount of women they're willing to oppress
yayyy an elderly women is caked in makeup for a magazine photoshoot!!! yayyy this objectively conventionally attractive model is showing her stretch marks!!! yayyy the mannequin at the store displaying uncomfortable, itchy, wired lingere is made of brown plastic instead of white!! yay this girl in a hijab is walking on a runway!!! this is progress!! women deserve equal opportunities!! equal opportunities to be hot and desirable according to the male gaze!!! this is progress!!!!
if you still think Brazilians speak Spanish, look confused when I say we actually speak Portuguese, then proceeds to ask me to speak Portuguese, but when I do you laugh at my face, I hate you. Not only do you not know abt my culture, but you dismiss it completely when I teach you abt it and THEN you laugh at me for showing you my language in which YOU asked.
