I literally laughed out loud. My bad. I do get why "cis" gay men may be pushed out... economically, gay men are at the top, slightly above men with wives, according to the statusofwomen website. Wealth is more important than anything else in our classist/capitalistic society.

The median annual earnings for women who live with a same-sex partner ($48,000) are considerably lower than those of men who live with a same-sex partner ($58,000) and lower than married men in different-sex households ($56,000), but higher than earnings for married women in different-sex households ($42,000) and women who live in a cohabiting relationship with a different sex partner ($33,000). Women living with a same-sex partner also have higher earnings than men cohabiting with a different-sex partner ($38,000).

it has to do with intersectionality so white and male are two strikes against you. one if you are a poc so there is that. victim status is the currency for the alphabets.

But why would a bisexual man have more oppression currency than a gay man?

THE OPPRESSION CURRENCY MAKES NO SENSE. Make it stop, please.

Bisexual men can sleep with the T and the Q, while gay men cannot. So it’s not that bisexuals are seen as more oppressed than us, but they’re more liked by the woke crowd than us.

some bisexuals might argue they re more misunderstood in society so therfore more oppressed?

Intersectionalists are cancer.

I hate how intersectionality has been twisted by TQ+ from a tool used to highlight the unique combination of racism and sexism that black women and other women of color face to being about centering straight males in feminism and LGB spaces 😒🤦🏾‍♀️. All trans ever does is co-opt, manipulate, gaslight and destroy.

It was originally devised as a way for black women to talk about how they faced both racism and sexism to different degrees depending on circumstances. Now I have no fucking clue what it means beyond 'you're below (above) me, shut up so I can dominate you.'

Intersectionality has become the oppression olympics, more or less. Or used to justify the oppression olympics. Its become a joke.

"Currency" implies that there's a system of trade in place. It's more like "if you aren't a beer-swilling caricature of a straight white guy, your job is to fret about trans people and carry their bags at all times ..... and the blacks' too, I guess."
