queer girls living with straight partners are NOT living in a state of “straight privilege.” because they’re NOT STRAIGHT.
they may have passing privilege—but as others who are infinetly smarter than i am have pointed out—this is not straight up privilege—because it is a site of *oppression* (through invisibilization and erasure that affects more than just bi girls) that our social sorting strategies only allow straight/gay man/woman man/man and women/women relationships.
so yeah, i don’t know what to call it what bi girls living with straight partners are doing—but i DO know that it’s not straight privilege.
also please remember that historical non-hetero relationships are often used to out you and deny you privilege even if you’re currently in a hetero or hetero passing one.
also poly people
also sometimes people talk about who they’re attracted to, thereby losing their straight passing privilege
I hate that this is a thing that needs to be said.
