Tumblr that means everyones gay for me
Okay, okay, okay, okay. Words, and especially identity words, are incredibly complicated things, and you have to pick the one that fits the way that you feel, period.
It might mean using several words in combination. Let me employ the Kristin Russo Method for a moment and tell you my own relationship with identity terms. Perhaps it will help! I came out when I was 17 and when I did, I came out as bisexual. That was as far as my reasoning went inbecause at that point I was clueless about gender being complicated and not operating on a binary.
Are you still reading?! I legit just claimed that word as my identity only to quiet my mom. Then, I dated girls for a long time and the word stuck even though it never felt quite right. The reason I started to mull it all over again was because I was learning more and more about how bisexual people are completely fucking erased in oh-so-many communities!
I experienced queer people saying rude, dismissive shit about bisexual people just as much as non-queer people! Oh, and then there was this whole report released by HRC!!! All of those thoughts were enough to make me unpack my own identity all over again, at the ripe old age of I wanted to take back the word bisexual for myself, I wanted people to hear it and see it and have to think about it more and more, and I felt like my own experience could add to that conversation.
And, while you are honest-to-god allowed to do whatever you want refer to earlier comments on giraffesI do want to tell you that sometimes the easy answer actually makes things way more complicated for you and me, and others in the long run. You may, find, though, that having people ask you more questions or wonder about the complicated nature of who you are is sometimes way, way more powerful than the alternative.
