I'll add, before I forget... this is not a new observation, but it seems to be often forgotten. There have been tensions within LGB communities and movements regarding bisexual/homosexual relations. It seems to be a kind of weakness in our collective armor. I ask myself: "If I were a trans activist who hates those evil, trans-hating people in the LGB movement, what's the best, most effective way I could divide them and make them doubt themselves?" By splitting up the letters, of course. I think the most effective ways to do this are:

1. based on sex-- split up LB women and GB men.

2. based on sexual orientation-- split up homosexuals and bisexuals.

So I have trouble discerning, sometimes, what tensions are organic and what tensions are... manufactured, for lack of a better word.

That doesn't reduce the harm caused by a biphobic or homophobic comment, to be clear. But I think that observation does have some important implications for how we might solve this problem in our communities.
