too many people treat straight sexuality like it’s just another flavor on the orientation menu and not the default enforced by centuries old oppression

y’all don’t hate heteronormativity nearly enough

My favorite piece of content today.

delighted that i can now share the cover of my forthcoming monograph 𝘊𝘪𝘯𝘦𝘮𝘢𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘉𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘹𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯. released 6 Jan 2026 with @dukepress.bsky.social in the Camera Obscura series.

@reproutopia.bsky.social with a wonderful reflection on Monique Wittig for @eflux.bsky.social . www.e-flux.com/journal/158/...

Hi all, My work pace and income have slowed down a LOT because of my depression, and I'm worried about making ends meet through the summer while BG is out of work. Any help getting through that would mean a lot to us. Thank you all so much! www.gofundme.com/f/help-may-a...

@thotscholar.bsky.social are you gonna post ur bi+ threads on here? /genq

I don’t get how it’s not clear from watching that the emphasis of drag is the artistry of the costuming and the performance. Drag is an effeminacy practice. Yes it’s about making a display of the effeminacy but it’s also about the associated pageantry

Got called an “ex-gay boy”, and my pronouns put in quotation marks because of this position.

“Everytime a trans [insert gender here] does [insert activity related to transition] an angel loses its wings” Good. Let those chaser angels drop like flies. Boomf boomf boomf.

Straight trans women are so cute

It's genuinely kind of depressing how much of everything about our culture and the present political moment can draw its roots back to masculinity being fragile 😕

In everyday life with ordinary people on the street or in the home, “hyper-gay” is still the standard classical perception and straight men still have a lot of anxiety about whether attraction to trans women makes THEM gay, and therefore less fully male.

There can be a lot of emphasis on the heteronormativity of transition care standards, like doctors insisting on conforming to heterosexual norms for trans people, but we shouldn’t make the mistake of acting like that context is universal or the most critical situation for trans people’s lives.

This is why it makes no sense to try and explain straight trans women’s lives and choices strictly through heteronormativity—our whole lives are in context to the homophobia embedded in the kind of sexism we experience.

I need to share the longer article soon but this perception is very much my own experience. And it’s exactly what I mean about transhet sexuality being seen as hyper-gay and how it amplifies homophobia when you don’t pass.

These “I top men because I’m a misandrist” jokes are as funny as “trans inclusive misogyny”. They point to a contradiction that doesn’t exist

And of course, if you love your dick, all power to you. Just don’t spin a narrative of radicalism around that because that’s the entirety of appeal to chasers.

Penetration-as-power in patriarchy is valid upon first approximation, but honestly you need to add some layers when it comes to trans women

/s

“Patriarchy is afraid of me because I’m a trans woman who LOVES her penis” sure jan, that’s why bottom surgery is expected of trans women and all the trans porn exclusively features trans women with neovaginas

One of those jokes that needs to be retired is the general idea that trans women topping men is somehow any reversal of the patriarchal expectations and power dynamics when that’s what 80% of cis men approaching us want and assume we’ll do by default.

The straight thing yeah cuz cishets are derogatory but if you as a queer person with a unidirectional attraction are believing and also perpetuating the idea that bisexuality is more proximal to Heterosexuality™️ than queerness becuz you focus on the different gender attraction bit, that does give-

I lost my job in January and I need help with bills while I look for a new job. Prospects are looking grim and I don't want to risk losing my car or my apartment. If you want to help directly: My Vėnmø is @MelxRedgrave My cäshvpp is $duckybank Thank you. gofund​.me/434f1387

lesbian frotting. gay guys calling themselves butch again. everyone has carabiners. straight sex no longer has a meaningful definition. this is the future we can have if we exercise the courage required.

"can a (cis) man and woman ever have queer sex?" we're asking the wrong questions, here, people. we need to start asking ourselves whether or not gay men can do yuri and lesbians can do yaoi. that's the future.

ive noticed something snaps in people's minds when you point out that "liking women is gay" in our patriarchal society. that is to say, treating women as humans, keeping women at the center of your life & relationships, being close w/ women, etc, socially codes you as an effeminate or as a tribade

what do you think the gendered child means? she literally ate all the gender

hornet should be an insectoid skeleton wearing elegant gothic lolita and hornet should be a fat butch wearing jeans and a tank top and a philadelphia eagles hat and hornet should be lace's lesbian butler. she is the gendered child and women can do anything

"male characters should be sexualized as much as female characters" actually male characters should always be drawn as some guy and female characters should be drawn with every possible body type ever and be drawn in 100 fun outfits and scenarios

Contrary to popular belief, a significant portion of the homeless population is employed. However, low wages and high housing costs often prevent them from having stable housing. It’s almost like pulling yourself up by your bootstraps doesn’t actually work.

Ghost jobs are a real danger for people living paycheck to paycheck. Someone teetering on the edge of poverty may spend precious hours, transportation money, and emotional energy applying to positions that don’t exist or are already filled.

Please, can trans women and transfems stop praising this shit?? Why this seems like a epidemic in trans feminists spaces

I can't even read a minimally favorable critique or opinion about radfem because my eyes have already rolled back in my head

Reading a book about the history of intersexuality without being demonized or dehumanized is one of the few things I'll find

And many MANY people say that this book is pornography, and it’s like?? What you’re talking about At this point, it's just censorship and applying a false morality to anything that exposes sexuality too much in a story. And the author isn't even explicit

I recently read Wicked and I don’t understand why don't people say the book is explicitly queer; besides to the obvious attraction and love between Elphaba and Glinda, there’s a gay couple and a polyamorous relationship between two men and a woman

i need everyone to kill the "egg prime directive" ciscentrism nonsense immediately in a world where they are going to claim transness does not exist, thus condemning trans kids or anyone who may potentially be trans to nonexistence and death. more than ever one must be open about trans possibilities

"yuriphobia" is such a beautiful term

the ways entire "groups/communities" mobilize to protect the perpetrator of sexual violence.

i think people ought to consider that sexual violence employed by familial kin, social circles, the state apparatus, etc. is also often a patriarchal disciplinary violence to "[re]-enforce; forcibly inscribe sex [the gendering of the flesh] upon the body", & this ties into

anyways a feminist politics and a feminist consciousness which can explicitly be a vehicle for helping those who have experienced sexual violence to find shared community and support is the way imo

Love and respect to people who don't want kids, but I am uncomfortable with the amount of qts/replies that are just people calling children gross or otherwise insulting them.

The question is not a matter of can trans people change sex but one of can cisgender people stop us.

Hello, peeps!!!

All so irritating. Queer and women’s lib will not come to fruition or come closer if you don’t consider monosexism. So good luck with that. Bisexuals will continue politicizing our sexualities without divorcing the sexual part from it. 🤷🏽‍♂️🫰🏾

"Are femboys, faggots and twinks a type of woman?" Conversation most are not ready for, especially in cis milieu.

Absolutely believe that the position "boys" is intrinsically related to that of "femboys", "faggots", "twinks" et al who are all basically partly third-sexed and partly womanized and judging to how gay community reacts to all of this spelled out (usually transmisogyny) is very poignant.

y'all are not ready for my opinion about how academia traditionally constructs the gender-ambiguous position of the "boy" in the discourses and practices of gender & sex
