I stumbled across this word salad on Tumblr and my brain spaghettified while trying to make sense of it:
So you sure as hell don't need to justify not sleeping with someone you're not attracted to. And that includes someone you may have initially been attracted to, but changed your mind later due to personality, compatibility or any other reason.
You don't owe anyone your sexual attraction, initial or ongoing.
The entire point of the gay rights movement, for gay, bi and, yes, straight women and men too, was that who you are or are not attracted to, who your consenting adult partners are, is nobody else's damn business.
That hasn't changed.
Anyone trying to tell you otherwise is as regressive and authoritarian as the sanctimonious bigots the gay rights movement fought against the first time around. That now includes former gay advocacy groups such as Stonewall UK, HRC and Pink News, which have abandoned recognition of same-sex attraction entirely as a matter of mere "genital preference." Using pretentious academic jargon doesn't change that any more than using pietistic scriptural proclamations.
Relieve yourself of the cultural panic of being called a bigot. It's no different than being called a sinner; it's only meaningful if you subscribe to their ideology.
And anyway, Queer Theorists endorse pedophilia and bestiality, so you're very far from being on the moral back foot.
Whether you're gay, bi or straight, be homosexual, bisexual or heterosexual guiltlessly.
Can someone explain this to me like I'm a 5-year old?
It's a very loud minority on twitter and in academia self-reinforcing a circular firing squad as they delve ever deeper into ways to isolate themselves using ever more specious theories of gender and sex. It's like they were miserable growing up and so in an attempt to make themselves feel better, rather than embracing that they're not the norm and all the joy that can come from that, they try and drag everyone else down into their own misery. It's sad, and infuriating, and not enough people push back on their nonsense.
Trying to explain things to 5-year old Teddy or Marge:
You know, adults really are the same as kids: they like to experiment. And sometimes, often even, they jointly use their body to do so. At some point you will, and that won't be an issue as long as whoever you're involved with agrees to share that experiment.
You'll just have to think of it as if you were in search of the one person you feel really fine with. No Matter anyone else's opinion, for this is not their concern.
And I stress: no matter anyone else's opinion.
