I don’t know how to respond on mobile so I’m highlighting a section and doing my best lol-

Oh, I absolutely have it so much easier than others. I’m in an interracial relationship and never had the same experience my girlfriend did. The point of this article is to highlight the problem of media throwing this girl to the wolves and the deep seated root of how we need queer communities to validate us through appearance instead of looking inward for acceptance. Label yourself however you want hell if you’re bi and wanna say you’re a lesbian- there’s so much overlap that whatever. I am just pinpointing and, like you said in your comment, that there is a lot of protection and privilege people experience in cis-het relationships and big magazines should be greenlighting narratives of people from more marginalized parts of the queer community. I’m not like “poor me i am a victim” I would much rather read a piece from say a trans black woman because we can collectively learn so much more and find catharsis in it by seeking out and understanding a much deeper level of intersectionalism.

Quite honestly I say shame on this publication publishing a piece and throwing it to Twitter who is largely biphobic and we’re going to rip this girl apart. The burden lies on the editors who should have pushed her more to dig deeper and connect with what her stance in the queer community meant to her outside of the male gaze.
