Yep, facing discomfort around you from both groups is most definitely part of the issue. Not for everyone, of course, but I hear it a lot.

We're still a grand down from running the bi+ community fair on 31 Aug. If we dont break even there won't be another one!

But look at these cute seasonally appropriate stickers!

They appear to be using the most unflattering pics on purpose and I think they're trying to imply clockability, presumably as a tool of further humiliation because the media is foul. Her posted selfies are very different.

I would like to be able to tag accounts Ive blocked with why I've blocked them. Posting AI and claiming its real, thinking liberation is you pissing on someone else, meangirling, biphobic arseholery.

What The Trans?! 🏳️‍⚧️ @whatthetrans.com · 8h

Today, the counterprotesters have started giving out leaflets.

This is because yesterday they managed to talk someone out of going to FiLiA, and they felt that leaflets could communicate such messages more effectively.

They have also started giving out stickers promoting trans joy.

FILIA calls itself "Europe's largest feminist conference."

In reality, it is a hub for all the worst and most authoritarian politics that hides under the feminist label. FiLiA's approach is not feminist, it is cruel, rigid, and hurts the people most vulnerable under patriarchy.

Anti-trans politics

FILIA advertises more events and speakers which focus on transgender people than any other topic. This includes a workshop for individuals to learn how to set up groups to exclude transgender people, and an event celebrating the recent supreme court ruling that threatens to push trans people out of public life, and has already increased harassment and violence faced by trans people.

Real feminists understand that transphobia is a manifestation of patriarchy, and that liberation for women cannot be seperated from liberation for trans people.

Anti-sex work politics

FiliA advocates the Nordic Model - where selling sex is legal but buying it is a crime. Compared to completely decriminalising sex work, the Nordic Model results in less abuse being reported, and more sex workers being targetted by police.

Opposing adult content online, including in video games

FILIA signed a recent petition that resulted in hundreds of video ga being banned from online distributors, and have invited the organ Collective Shout to speak at the conference. This goes against TRANS artistic freedom.

"Bisexual adults were significantly less likely to come out than their LGTQ+ peers, with 47% saying they aren't out to extended family, 38% saying they aren't out to coworkers, 35% saying they aren't out to parents, 28% saying they aren't out to siblings, and 9% saying they aren't out to friends".

How many LGBTQ+ adults are out of the closet? Almost all — with these exceptions

Around 96 percent of LGBTQ+ adults have come out as queer to at least one person.

Its commensurate to followers, so I am assuming that's a big part of it. We were on 10k over there so just by not reaching the same audience there's a loss. And no one has any money! Cost of living mustn't be helping matters. Hopefully its a blip. 🤞

Biscuit sales down fully 90% since we dropped twitter. The right thing to do, at a cost that has made things extremely difficult.

He’s gay. She’s straight. They’re happily married.

Meet the couples who are redefining what it means to be in a relationship, including those in gay-straight and same-sex platonic marriages.

TIL our #BiVisDay billboard from a few years ago is being used as an example of effective pride messaging. As a shilling technique, but still.

Pride ads in the mainstream doesn't mean the LGBTQ+ fight is over -these billboard campaigns have created a platform for queer visibility and more!

Having seen this later than intended, I am rather tempted.

You will find no argument from us that bi+ majority spaces are vital, and so are lesbian only spaces.

I will ALSO argue that combined spaces are equally vital for loads of reasons, among them

- normalisation of diversity
- increased mutual understanding

Cosplaying as working class. Call your dad so he can stop it all, bitch. I'll be fine with my shitty credit score and half decent left hook.

Me too! I think it's the sound that makes it so calming.

Getting tattooed feels meditative and centring.

Getting tattoos removed feels like being stabbed by a barbed needle that is also the same temperature as the surface of the sun.

I will continue to indulge in both.
