So.
I’ve been talking about my sexuality - and my thoughts behind my label (bisexuality), which I’m now at odd with - over at Facebook, and, holy shit, that drained me alot more than I thought it would.
Also? Thinking that you should just say “fuck you” to heterosexual people living in a heteronomative society (i.e. all societies on the freaking planet) for not automatically knowing that your sexuality is a sexuality that not only doesn’t get shown much in the (heteronomative) media, but also sometimes get ignored in the queer community… well, it scream hetero-priviledge to me. You can, but I don’t think you would have many friends back, because, hey, heterosexual people in a heteronomative society - get real, for fuck’s sake.
Also, I do know that some queer people think it’s OMG SO HORRIBELT that I, well, sure, I have a problem with it - that’s probably also why the discussion (eh… mainly it was me talki… I mean, writing) at Facebook drained me so much -, but that I don’t mind educating people. Yes, I know it’s not my job to educate heterosexual people about their priviledge and about queerness and so on, but I honestly don’t mind. …well, I mainly don’t mind doing it. Especially when the people I’m educating are my friends and when I’m in the mood for it. Idk, I’m sure this makes me a bad queer person, but whatever.
I suck at educating when it comes to sexism - I go blind with rage, to put it nicely -, which I know is counterproductive, and I can’t educate about racism, because, hey, white girl is white, and there’s a big risk that it’ll end it “white peopl only listening to fellow white peopl” which is Teh Shit, but does really exist (and here I’m that some white people do really only listen to fellow white people about racism and then pat them selves on their back for being “good humans”, and not the poc who got a gigantic problem with it, ‘cause… it is a fucking problem), but I do seem to have the… patience to do it when it comes to queer-rights. Idk. It makes me feel better to know that I’m helping some people to understand something instead of being angry at them for not automatically know something. And yeah, even if their interest is mainly because they are my friend. Eh. Just rambling now.

...I should probably post the entire discussion/talk to LJ, so I can just link to that when I have to explain myself again :/ Arg. This is why I prefer discussion AT ONE PLACE, GODDAMMIT.
