what im saying is that bisexuals, pansexual, and asexuals should all join together so we can be in the fictitious trifecta. enough people will say we’re not real and we’ll all converge together in a massive, fierce mass only spoken of in myth. dont come near us or you too will cease to exist
can we include aromantics?

Oh my god you included a link to breitbart. Yeah, none of these sites are biased or anything. Definitely not.
First link is broken.
Second link is “American Right to Life.” Not unbiased.
Third link is Breitbart. While glancing through it, they reference the studies from Asian countries which, most of which are extremely old, have been debunked, or found no causation of breast cancer and abortion.
If I may copy-pasta from another incident:
It takes until number 36 to get to a study done in the year 2000. So, most of the studies are outdated. (Giving you almost two decades is a huge leeway, anyway. Even further, a lot of the data compiled from these are from before 2000, too.)
37. Reports no connection between induced abortion and breast cancer.
42. This study says the “non-statistically significant increase in risk of breast CIS associated with induced abortion … may reflect incomplete reporting by control subjects who had an abortion before 1973 or those who regularly undergo mammographic screening.”
45. This one said there was a connection, however, reading through the abstract, I’m not sure if the study used records from 1382 or if that’s me reading it wrong… Plus this one is from Iran. Whatever, I’ll give it to you. (1)
50. Something to the tune of: “Our findings suggest that age and induced abortion were found to be associated with breast cancer. The discrepancies between our findings and other studies might be due to the different characteristics of Turkish women that merit further investigation.” (3)
52. “Each year delay in first pregnancy increased risk, as did induced abortion.” However, “our findings imply the need for further investigation.” (5)
56. This study mostly references other studies when it comes to abortion and breast cancer. The conclusion of this study is saying that non-vegetarian diets are an important risk factor, when it comes to breast cancer, as is literacy. (If you’re more literate, you’re more likely to get breast cancer.)
I won’t count this one, because it’s mostly referencing other studies.
58. This one saying that there’s an increase of breast cancer risk with the number of induced abortions. This one did not have a specific study, though. It’s a “meta-analysis.” Meaning it took various articles and elaborated from the findings. The citations weren’t done in chronological order, but they were splayed over various decades. Since it’s probably using studies we’ve already touched upon, I’m not going to count this one either.
So, from number 37 to 58, only 7 studies claim to find an actual connection between induced abortion and breast cancer. A few of the studies say more research is necessary and that there were conflicting findings about the connection of abortion and breast cancer.
Regardless, you might want to double-check your research before pulling a random list off the Internet.
Like I have said, multiple times now, I just put it out there for others to look into and come to their own conclusions. Do whatever you want, add whatever other information you want to it, because whether it’s true or not, women deserve to know the truth either way, right?
Why can’t you just admit that you posted falsehoods thinking they were true, until some very polite people educated you on the topic, as well as teaching you to separate science from propaganda? If you were truly interested in getting the truth out there, you would be thanking the people who responded with the truth and promise to do better research so you don’t spread lies. People can draw their own conclusions when both sides are supplying facts to a discussion. But posting lies and sticking by those lies is purposely misleading people and manipulating them through fear.
“did y’all know that there is scientific research that confirms a link between getting an abortion and it making you more likely to get breast cancer?” Is the exact OP, right there in plain black and white.
Saying that it “”“confirms a link”“” is not the same as “ I just put it out there for others to look into and come to their own conclusions.” Just admit you were wrong and move on.
y’all: bisexuals are fake bc they usually end up in m/f relationships
me, an intellectual: it’s easier and statistically more likely to find a straight person who is attracted to you and compatible with you than to find a lgb+ person who is, especially in small towns. not to mention the fact that a big part of lg community won’t date us, because they are biphobic. also a huge number of bis are nb, so m/f rhetoric doesn’t even fit us. also. there is nothing wrong with bis being in a m/f relationship if it’s healthy. also. stop being biphobic it’s 2017 when will this stop
Trans women are women! Trans men are men! Nonbinary and genderqueer people are valid! Intersex people exist! My life would be severely lacking without all of my friends under the umbrella of trans identities and experiences. I see you, I love you, I treasure you. Happy Trans Day of Visibility!
a secret code between women: are you safe? in a contact of eyes. i’m here if you need me, the littlest shift of a skirt, of an inclined head, of watching the man who is asking you to smile, bitch. you aren’t alone on the walls of restrooms, i was where you are too. the quiet doling of emergency numbers, the shelters. the space between two women in a largely empty train station. the waiting game of two women strangers who walk, quietly and quickly, to their cars in abandoned parking lots, who watch to be sure the other leaves safely. text me you get home safe. the tally marks of drinks on hidden wrists, carefully disguised as other things ever since men picked up on what it meant and used it to target the “weakest link.”
my father tells me we have nothing to worry about. last night he sent me one of those email chains that say at the top “Safety Tips For The Women In Your Life!!!! Don’t Let Her Die!!”
me, and the stranger on the train. she is asleep and the man is asking me who i am going home to. i feel tears pricking the sides of my eyes. i am 13 while he towers over me. he reaches out one hand, and while i don’t know how she knows, she speaks up without opening her eyes: “If you touch my daughter, sir, I will murder you.” Whatever he grumbles is lost in history, because this moment I am so grateful for the existence of other people that I cannot breathe.
I am 19 and on my phone when i become aware of a 13 year old girl is smiling nervously at a man who’s saying disgusting things. I grab her arm. “There you are, cindy,” I say, and then look at the man like he is bile. “Do you need something from my sister?” i ask, and i walk away with her. she cries later.
this is the way of things: a silent, secret web. our promise to each other that despite our differences, when it comes to the wire, we become family, instantly. the unspoken promise. i’m here. i’m watching. i’ll witness.
