"i Was A Transtrender" No You Werent. You Were Just Questioning Your Identity And Then You Decided That

I am drawn to particular people - regardless of gender. It doesn’t make me wishy-washy, confused, untrustworthy or more sexually liberated. It makes me bisexual.

Bisexual activist Lani Ka’ahumanu in “The Bisexual Revolution”, OutWeek #84, 1991 (via verilybitchie)

Apparently Ka’ahumanu used “regardless of gender” regularly over the years. It appeared earlier than the above in a 1987 essay.”The Bisexual Community: Are We Visible Yet?”, where she said “I am bisexual because I am drawn to particular people regardless of gender.“

So to be clear, the definition of bisexual as “regardless of gender” is at least 33 years old, with recurring use by a major bi activist in the SF bi and lesbian scenes.

it’s me once again

old post lost traction so i’m starting a brand new one with updates

hello! i’m vincent, biracial + nonbinary, 19, and currently living with a manipulative, alcoholic mother. i am currently in therapy thanks to limited medicaid, but i need help.

i suffer from severe adhd, ptsd, major depression, severe anxiety, bipolar II, and i recently found out that i am autistic. i know what you’re probably thinking: “isn’t autism usually diagnosed in really early years?” yes, in the ideal situation with a healthy family. unfortunately, my parents never took my to doctors/therapists regularly (i’m getting my first physical at 19 years old soon), so i’m basically figuring myself out all on my own to my mom’s dismay.

i have, unfortunately, had and lost six jobs (including my most recent one, mcdonalds, where i was discriminated against + had a manager steal money from me for a short cash register and be transferred to another store. i never recieved my money back.) pandemic aside, i have been fired from every job (food service) due to my high anxiety and inability to blend in with coworkers/managers. any attempt at having a savings has failed due to me eventually losing whatever job i manage to get. currently. i work as a bitesquad driver. but un-fucking-fortunately i am an independent contractor with them and only make tips. my car isn’t made for long trips, considering my gas and brake systems are failing, and right now in florida there’s a heat wave going on and my ac doesn’t, and has never, worked properly.

my mom’s drinking has grown worse since i moved in with her at 16, and infinitely bad since the pandemic started. she’s drunk pretty much every night, and being around her forces me to say very little so i can avoid being kicked out. i have no extended family, my dad left at 16, and i have had no friends in my city for about five years now.

i’m currently forcing myself to take online classes to, hopefully, obtain an office specialist certificate to become a secretary. while i should be able to have financial aid, it won’t last me long and i’m currently unable to log into the social security website of florida to check my disability application becase, “my social security number cannot be found.” (i called them, and the dude on the phone quite literally told me he doesn’t know how to help, so my therapist is trying to help me out.)

i can’t tell my mom about any money i am receiving, because she has threatened multiple times that i’m going to spend my own money to pay her bills. while i do pay for internet right now, it’s $100 a month, and you can imagine how making that money based solely on tips from delivery orders is going. the hospital that offers my therapy has a low income housing program, and i’m trying to apply (be added to the wait list,) but unfortunately the pandemic is slowing that process to a near halt.

while i’m not expecting anything major, if you are able to spare even a few dollars, i would greatly appreciate it until i can figure out why the fuck i’m not able to check disability benefits + earn my certificate in college. if you’d like more information on my situation or any clarification, please message me!

i also do writing commissions (bnha mainly, will negotiate any other fandoms! i do NOT write child x adult ships, abusive relationships, or nsfw.) 1000 words is $10, and each 100 word increase beyond that is an additional $1. i post works to archive of our own, unless requested otherwise.
