Honestly, I'm here for it. The biphobic stuff I would hear from women kept me in the closet for a long time

    I know the women in my life trend more queer than the average, but given the voracious appetite among women I know for gay fanfics and/or yaoi this is wild to me.

    Not that fetishization is preferable, of course.

      Yeah there really is no correlation between the fetishization of queer people and actual acceptance. I’d wager that a huge chunk of those people who consume that content do so BECAUSE they find it ‘deviant’ and thusly more exciting in a taboo way.

      Same. Maybe it's because I jumped headlong into kink, but most women perked up when I mentioned my bisexuality.
