Tangled Up In Lace

vesloth asked: Dearest sexyass mermaid princess Jessica, the other day I was talking to a gay friend of mine about being a minority on account of (among other things) identifying as bisexual. Since femme here in Hungary is practically always interpreted as "straight woman" I definitely have straight privilege, unlike him, and I was about to go into detail about this almost apologetically when he cut me off with "being a curious girl doesn't make you a minority". --CONT

The rest of your ask:

— please see earlier ask. I was at a loss for words and still don’t know what to do about this and whether I even should. Am I overreacting? I feel really dismissed and don’t know where to put the whole situation. Do you have any sexyass mermaid princess insight? Always grateful for your existence, love love love, Adél

Man, I feel ya sister

Newsflash to your “friend” but being bisexual is not the same as curiosity.

Duh.

My boo actually answered a question about bisexuality here that might also help you with some feelings regarding your identity.

I don’t understand queers who are threatened by those who ID as bisexual. 

I personally ID as pansexual but, still, as a high femme who has been known to date cis dudes, fancy ladies, butch babes and more recently a babe who just can’t be put in a box because they’re just too hot to name it, I get shit on a lot by my fellow queers. I’m not trusted, respected or understood by a pretty big portion of my community.

That was until recently! I’ve been lucky to find online and offline (hello Victoria you Babe Paradise you) a strong group of sexy queers with open minds and hearts who know me for who I am and fucking LOVE IT. 

It feels fantastic!

Maybe we’re not minorities for whatever reason, maybe we are depending on the situation…the point is this: respect and love are essential qualities to look for in a friend. 

If bro bro can’t get down with the fine piece of human being you are, they don’t deserve a gift like you ANYWAYS

You’re perfect, keep doing what makes you feel good
