We’d thought we’d reached the outer limits earlier with that tweet about male and female bodies being colonial constructions that don’t exist, but hey, this is Twitter.
What’s really frightening isn’t this tweet, but the number of people responding and saying, “That’s really interesting, can you suggest some further reading?”
If it helps at all, the author, @queersocialism, describes themself in their Twitter bio as a gender non-conforming, Marxist, colonized subject.
heterosexuality does not exist without sexual and gendered coercion. there is no such thing as a heterosexuality that is not inherently coercive. there is no heterosexuality that does not reinforce structural oppression.
there is no “healthy” or “good” heterosexuality, period.

I guess the animal kingdom musta been coerced into reproducing by society too and not biology.

So there you have it.
I hope you get the opportunity to share you views in prime time on the podium of the Democratic National Convention in 2020!

this is gross and oppressive if you replace “heterosexuality” with an adjective for a marginalized group. this is gross and oppressive.

I get it. You took some college courses, had a thought and believed it was valid. It's not. Just admit, you're still learning AND healing, apparently.

I'm convinced people saying crazy shit like this don't believe it themselves, they just want a reaction. How about you go play outside and make some friends.

The problem starts when they poison the well of academia and infiltrate government policy and, in turn, society with their unscientific fantasies.

Odds are that if not for heterosexuality, you would not exist.

I like can’t even believe you would put this out in the world like the total amount of hate and separation you’re encouraging is appalling

So all heterosexuality is bad and unhealthy? Are you listening to yourself? A man and a woman having sex with each other, loving and caring for each other is bad and unhealthy?
