I really used to love and idolize Johnny Depp. I thought he was a brilliant and talented actor; hell, just the other day, I said he was one of my favorite actors. And I believed that he was a genuinely good person because he had always seemed so friendly. 

To find out that not only is he a filthy abuser, but to also find out that abuse seemed to stem out from biphobia, is both heartbreaking and frustrating as hell. This is a man I looked up to and it’s a pretty huge slap in the face to find out the guy I looked up to is an abusive biphobe. It’s almost like being betrayed in a way, I guess. 

And I’m angry as hell because I know exactly how this is going to go down.

People are going to blame his wife. Call her a slut and a golddigger and that she was “whoring around” with her lesbian friends, thus reinforcing that gross as fuck myth that all bisexuals are “sluts” who fuck everyone in order to get something out of people. People will say that they feel sorry for Johnny Depp and call Amber Heard a liar and an attention seeker. 

This will probably not affect Johnny Depp in the slightest and I think he knows it too. Because he’s Johnny Fucking Depp, a talented cis white actor, he will continued to be cast in films. He will continue to work and support and love from his fans/followers, who will band together to no doubt label Amber Heard as that no-good bi slut who deserved to get beat. 

I’m angry. I’m really fucking angry. And I will stand by Amber Heard throughout this entire time. She is a victim and she deserves to be heard and supported. 

Oh and fuck Johnny Depp. 

All. Of. This.

It’s that time of year again. The time of year when the Pride Flags start circulating and I have to deal with The Flag That Shall Not Be Named.

So just as a casual, low key reminder, the intersex pride flag is this one:

[Image Description] The intersex flag: a field of yellow with a thick purple circle centered on it.[End description]

The one with the shitty gradient blur pink and blue center bars is old, out of date, and frankly insulting, what with the conflation of intersexuality and transness, to say nothing of the suggestion that all intersex people are just horrible mish-mashes of “male” and “female,” which obviously leads to people assuming that they can and should call us fuckening h*rmaphrodites. 

I understand that it is more “historic” but it’s not the one that we actually use here and today.

Obviously I’m not going to single you our if you post that flag or pride graphics with that flag, because frankly I’m still flattered when people remember we exist.

But if you’re on the look out for this kind of information, just, like.

This is the one.

You will absolutely see people claim, btw, that this isn’t the intersex pride flag, and rather that it’s a “logo” for an australia intersex organization. Shockingly, this isn’t accurate.

The yellow and purple intersex pride flag was first showcased that the Australia branch of OII (Organisation Intersex International, AKA the only intersex group I trust, check them out when you get a chance). It has since been widely adopted by a number of intersex organizations, groups, and individuals, to replace the- have I mentioned the old flag basically says we’re automatically trans+h*rmaphroditic I just cant get over that- old flag.

And I know, I’m really fucking aggressive about this. It’s a pet peeve. It drives me up a wall. I realize I over react, that’s why I’m getting it out here now, instead of waiting until I choke and die on Old Flag Swag later this month.

Just like.

This is the flag.

And yes, if you’ve made rad awesome pride graphics with the old flag, post them. Remembering that intersex people exist (we are here, and by fuck, we are queer) is still a big step IMO.

But like, if you’ve been thinking about making cool pride graphics, but haven’t yet, here’s your official two part notice.

intersex people are real, and also, we are complete beings in our own right and not blurry frankenstein’s monsters made up of other things.

ETA: Also, like, if you are intersex and the old flag brings you comfort, pride, a sense of identity and belonging, please keep using it for yourself and your work, no matter how publically aimed that work is. That is your right, and I want to encourage you to be comfortable, and do whatever makes you comfortable, up to and including using the old flag, up to and including referring to yourself as being h*rmaphroditic, up to and including anything you want to do that makes you feel more secure in your identity as an intersex person.

This post has a very specific aim, and it’s to educate (and a little bit berate) perisex allies who aren’t doing their research, not to tell you what you have to do as an intersex individual.

I haven’t seen the other flag but just as a flag science note it’s good you folks got rid of the one with the gradient. Gradients have no place on flags. If a flag can’t be made by cutting pieces of single color cloth it’s a bad flag.

You win for best comment, because you’re right. I didn’t even get into the vexillological design flaws of the old flag, not the least of which is that it’s impossible to make one for yourself at home because it requires figuring out how to do gradient dye, which is fuckin’ difficult. And which adds a fine layer of fuck you irony, since half the point of having pride flags is that you can access them in your own spaces. 

Bless you.

Apparently homophobes are flipping out over the possibility of a lesbian couple appearing in Finding Dory

Lesbians?? In a movie starring Ellen DeGeneres?? WHO COULD HAVE PREDICTD SUCH A THING??

I agree that it’s ridiculous but why does everyone just assume that if people disagree with homosexuality that they’re a HOMOPHOBE? HomoPHOBE. SCARED of homosexuals. Why can people not just disagree,

in today’s culture and vocabulary “homophobia” means that a person does not agree that homosexuality is a valid identity in our society. the root word “phobia” is null and void. so the op stands. if you are “flipping out” over the presence of a queer couple, you are a homophobic in the most relevant societal definition of the word.
