I think examining one's beliefs closely is inherent to being, well, a good human being. And I'll stop there but you can google intersectionality if you like.
I kissed him, and I told him that I loved him. And I killed him.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I had no idea we had so many ex-strippers here!!
I would totally contemplate it, but (a) don't have the body for it (b) am now too old and (c) I think I assumed you have to have pole skillz, and have no idea how you learn those. But I've definitely thought long and hard about doing some burlesque.
Yeah, I've read that as an argument for the assertion that a woman can't be a feminist unless she's a lesbian
Hah. But see, even if you're a lesbian, are you a FEMME lesbian? Well, clearly you've still bought into the patriarchal notion of how you're supposed to look. You just want to PASS! And if you're BUTCH, well--that's just because you are GLORIFYING MASCULINITY, which does not DESERVE to be GLORIFIED! EVIL!!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Srsly, I am a proud and longtime feminist, but we do have a Judean People's Front vs People's Front of Judea tendency.

meara ftw. And don't forget, if you transition to male, it's because you want male privilege! So you are betraying your lesbian compatriots.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
And if you're a bisexual woman, you are stealing lesbian energy and giving it to men. Also, you shouldn't go to queer women's events because you endanger lesbians (I don't remember what the argument was for that one).
edit for something I remembered....

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
But if you transition to female, you're co-opting our experience.

Because we might be TRICKED into thinking you are TRUE lesbians, and then you will do your EVIL bisexual AGENDA on us (...um, which is having a threesome with your BOYFRIEND!).

All bisexuals live for threesomes. It's in the packet.
