Welcome to RMB’s Naked Pictures of Faceless People, a series of guest posts from diverse anonymous bloggers. (Read more about NPFP’s origins.) These are the posts that are jumping to get out of us, but for whatever reason — safety, embarrassment, conflict of interest, protection of loved ones’ reputations or feelings, or so on [...]

On identity and “who [I] bone”

Sexual identity? Does not actually come from “who you fuck”. See, this is one of those misconceptions which lead to all sorts of misunderstandings, from backing up the assertion that “everyone is bi” (because so many people have had sexual contact with more than one gender) to dismissing sexual identities altogether.

Like in this oh so [...]

Quick hit: why I loathe “Everyone’s bi”

Bi Pride

When a bisexual1 person comes out and is greeted with the dismissive (but so persistent) meme “Everyone is bi”, what we’re really being told is: “That doesn’t matter”, “We all function as straight so should be able to too”, “Why do you need to say it?”, “You’re just looking for attention”. We’re being [...]

The relatively obscure — but hugely beloved, among those lucky few — “Filipina-Ashkenazic mixed-class trans dyke mestiza” rocketed up in the last 6 hours from tied-for-3rd to win with 19% of the 610 total votes.

Last day to vote for Lesbian/Bisexual Woman of the Decade

Just one more day to vote. Repeat votes are welcome (for the same nominee, or multiple), as are votes from anyone, regardless of gender or sexuality.

I’m not voting (because I picked them; doesn’t exactly seem fair), but here’s my official plug for Sook-Yin Lee (bisexual! multi-talented! not unattractive!) and little light (you need to read [...]

As of today, nominations for Lesbian/Bisexual Woman of the Decade are closed. There are, I know, many amazing queer women the world over [...]

I am thinking big thoughts

I am thinking big thoughts.

I am thinking about evil, about the act of allying, about oppression and anti-oppression, about the thoughts shaping actions and the problems of thought police, about babies and bathwater and deep waters we drown in and deep waters that sustain us.

I am thinking about the importance of high standards, the importance [...]

Lesbian/Bisexual Woman of the Decade — a call for publicity

I am thinking big. I am being prodded into thinking big. And as much as I was hoping for fast, sometimes big is worth slowing down for.

So here’s what we’re doing. (Here’s what we’ve done so far.)

Nominations for the Lesbian/Bisexual Woman of the Decade will be open until 11:59pm Sunday 10 January 2010. BUT! You’re [...]

Lesbian/Bisexual Woman of the Decade — a call for nominations

List being updated here: please comment on that post
