The author seems to have forgotten that the author of "Am I A Lesbian" masterdoc came out as bisexual ... no surprise to any of us here.

Matatas says that comphet often functions in tangent with other systems of oppression, like racism, ableism, fatphobia, and classism.

“When we create any kind of hierarchy, it inevitably supports other hierarchies in society,” she says. “Compulsory heterosexuality is rooted in white colonial masculinity, where systems of white supremacy and patriarchy support the idea that heterosexuality and the gender binary are the norm.

Yes u/xandit, woke.

Compulsory heterosexuality is rooted in white colonial masculinity, where systems of white supremacy and patriarchy support the idea that heterosexuality and the gender binary are the norm.

Uh, well, it's not just an idea that heterosexuality is the norm-- it IS the norm! And by a wide margin, at that; the vast majority of people are straight. And I say this as a non-heterosexual myself! Now, we shouldn't mistake its being the norm for being normal (which would make homosexuality and bisexuality abnormal), certainly, but there's no doubt that heterosexuality is the most common sexual orientation. That'd be true even if all straight-passing gay and bi people quit the closet for good.

As for the "gender binary": 1.] gender is determined by biological sex, which is binary in humans, so, yes, this is indeed the norm across cultures and throughout history; and 2.] gender is not only make-believe nonsense, but the basis for the oppression of women and same-sex-attracted people, so who gives a shit about it anyway?

Hey, I said pretty much the same thing in my comment. I wonder: do they not understand the difference or are they leveraging the ambiguity for political aims?

Oh, it's totally political bullshit. Clickbaity trendy shit for Yahoo. To look woke and "enlightened" but it's part of the denial of reality that suffuses the whole anti-intellectual "Queer" movement. As PenseePansy says, heterosexuality IS the norm; we gays are the exception, and very rock n' roll that way, lol. The new ideology just deperatelt tries to push that everyone is bisexual and genderfluid and that's simply not true for 99% of humanity, but.. we're in a very strange time.
