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
