    On the other hand, nobody ever will fix, update, or port many pieces of software if backwards compatibility is expected to be kept up indefinitely.

    I’m frankly not sure which is better. Do it the apple way, force projects to make their software work on modern platforms, and just accept that some people will really be fucked over for the sake of progress. Doesn’t sit right with me, but on the other hand things can’t keep being compatible forever.














  • I have worded my definition of my sexuality badly, you are right. What I am trying to say is that I am not straight if I am not exclusively attracted to “the opposite” gender. If I am also attracted to my own gender, and ones outside the spectrum, I can’t be hetero.

    I’m just sick of bi erasure in queer communities, being belittled by being called “half gay, half straight”. Or even “oh you’re just a cishet who wants to fit into queer spaces”.
    No. I am bi. Not half this, half that, not pretending. Maybe pan if one wants to follow strict definitions.

    I genuinely did not know about people who define themselves as non-binary men or women, could you help me understand? That breaks all I’ve learned from the admittedly few enby people I know, whose entire goal was not being binary.


  • 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.




  • 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.
