Re: Radfem biphobia

[kallanda_lee]

Let me elaborate that by choice I mean our default range of attraction. Obviously, bi or pan people could technically choose to date just one gender, for whatever reason.

For people who skew far more to either side of the Kinsey scale, it's far less of a choice, and even those who are pretty laid back about sex in general, still would not have the same attraction or romantic feelings towards a either the same or the opposite gender, depending which way they swing.

I would argue that falling in love with someone is quite often not a choice - acting on it is, but then you're arguing that it's better to be alone and miserable than to love the "wrong" person, which I disagree with.

So it's a choice that is not equal, if you know what I mean. Yes, everyone can choose not to act on love (but why should they really, by what justification,), and if two types of love are not seen as equally desirable socially, where one can freely be with whom they love and another cannot be - then the choice is not equal. I hope that's not rambling too much!

Re: Radfem biphobia

Yes, that I absolutely agree with. I would argue that the "straight" women who are able to function as political lesbians... probably aren't as straight as they think; at the very least, heteroflexible (a term I have seen to describe people who are 99% straight, or gay in the case of homoflexible, but have very specific traits or people they will make an exception for). And by function, I mean being able to have fulfilling romantic and sexual relationships with other women.

I definitely agree you don't choose who you fall in love with, and your further comment. The idea that you should not act on love because someone else thinks they're the "wrong" partner, due to gender, race, disability, etc, is inherently oppressive.

What you say about the choice not being equal also makes a lot of sense, and I hadn't thought of it in that terminology before. I may have to snitch that. And no, not too much rambling! :)
