        fyi because ppl often dont realise it:

        the bi in bisexual stands for both homosexual and heterosexual :33

        edit: since some people seemed to be confused by this, i used the words “heterosexual” and “homosexual” the following way:

        • heterosexual: being attracted to people of a different gender than ones own

        • homosexual: being attracted to people of ones own gender

          Common misconception and many of us don’t like being portrayed that way. We are not half this, half that. We are our own thing.

          Many define bi as “attraction to more than one gender” and that’s it.

          Many folks like all genders. But for example some folks only like their own gender and enbys. Your definition would exclude those people. We do not like excluding people.

            not true, liking ur own gender is homosexual and liking enbies as someone who is not an enby is heterosexual. no exclusion there

            the definition i use is literally the original definiton of bisexual. this is not a common misconception.

            many of us don’t like being portrayed that way

            a lot of bisexual ppl vibe with it, it is the original meaning of the word and it is relavant in the context of my comment. if you dont want to word it that way for yourself, fine and fair, but dont run around telling ppl its wrong and they cant say it. you are excluding ppl

                  Look, maybe you didn’t mean to be rude. I choose to believe that you didn’t want to insult people.

                  Buy you are immensely rude. Denying peoples own definitions of sexuality and gender is rude.

                  You say that liking enbies makes someone heterosexual. Which is wrong on multiple levels. I as a man can only be heterosexual if I exclusively am attracted to women.

                  And enbies are not women, even if AFAB. They are neither man nor woman, that’s what makes them non-binary, that’s the point.

      Let’s reserve the word Tankie for actual Tankies. It’s become meaningless if you call every communist that.

    As someone who learns communist and plays in two anarchopunk bands, I strongly approve this message.
