I'm the 'B'. That means I've never truly been part of the community, as it's never truly spoken for me. Bi people have always been the outliers.
I am pissed off, in particular, at the implication that because I'm not particularly fussy about which 'gender' I go to bed with (bi-phobia at its finest) then the hard line between two separate categories of bisexual and pansexual doesn't exist, and I should therefore not be gatekeeping my vagina to any entitled male who sees fit to use it. 'Cotton ceiling', is what they call it, although the 'movement' is interestingly enough trying to backtrack from this term now it's been seen in the sunlight for the appalling thing it is. And if that's bad, the awful rhetoric surrounding lesbians is far worse.
Eroding the boundaries of consent, especially around a culture where convictions for rape and sexual assault are unacceptably low, can never lead anywhere positive. It's highly evident who are the main beneficiaries of that particular push. It's not women of any sexual orientation.
It's not about the 'T' not having the right to coexist peacefully and without discrimination against them. It's about their active, encroaching, ever-present assault on my rights. And just look at the damage this has done to Stonewall, a once positive, valuable and much-needed charity. I've heard their founding CEO on this topic in a particular trial that's taking place recently.
Bloody heartbreaking, and it makes me so angry.
