I mean I don’t know who you are so I can’t say yes or no but I can say that when people annoy me on Twitter I just mute them so it’s fine, do whatever 
We had bisexuals on TV more than 20 years ago? The only examples coming to mind are some awful SATC eps, unforch.
This is in my book! Reproductive coercion — which is what trapping someone with a baby is — is broadly understood to be a *male behavior*. (#BuyMyBook: sealpress.com/titles/lux-alp…)
Are there women who trick men into getting them pregnant? Sure! But it is vastly more common for men to sabotage their partners’ contraceptive use in the hopes of impregnating them.
Non-consensual condom removal is one strategy, but abusive men — because let’s be real, this is a form of abuse — will also sabotage partners’ pills or bully them out of taking any kind of birth control at all.
That remote in your car's cupholder signals an invisible dragon living in your garage to wake up and open the rollerdoor.
You can prove this is true by removing the remote's battery: the dragon no longer wakes up and the door doesn't roll open.

The invisible dragon in your garage is Sagan's well-known explanation of pseudoscience.
Ufology's "just so" stories are one example taken to the extreme - pile conspiracy upon conspiracy to explain events with ordinary explanations.

Fell asleep thinking about how I feel about the label “woman” the way I feel about the label “bisexual” which is that they’re the best options for me while also being burdened with a lot of baggage that I find frustrating.
I have spent a lot of time thinking about my gender — probably more than most people who ultimately decide that they’re cis — and for me it always comes back to: I don’t feel dysphoria about my body, I dress in a feminine way, I feel most comfortable with the pronoun she.
To the extent that I personally have any gender trouble it’s that there’s there’s this cultural fiction of A Woman™️ floating around who doesn’t bear much resemblance to me — which was, of course, what my book ultimately wrestled with (#BuyMyBook). sealpress.com/titles/lux-alp…
A lot of attempts to combat biphobia are doomed from the start because they are playing a rigged game on someone else's home field.
A lot of these convos about biphobia have some real "when did you stop beating your wife?" energy. You can't win with someone who says things like, "We don't hate *you*, we just hate your boyfriend" because they are already setting you up to fail.
Likewise all these attempts at "myth busting": bi people aren't necessarily slutty, bi people won't automatically cheat on you, bi people can be monogamous — you're starting from a defensive crouch, begging monosexuals to see that you are human.
