the problem is when bi people compare shitty comments from queer people to shitty comments from str8 people
sure it sucks when you get shitty comments from a community that's supposed to support you, but it doesn't carry anywhere near the same amount of institutional power that shit from str8ies does.
it upsets me way more when gay people treat me like i'm not a real queer, because i feel like they should know better. str8 people are just hopeless tbh so i expect it from them
