"You might not want to get too used to it. Danny is gay, and no one has a problem with that, but bisexuality is widely recognized as a myth, and you'll want to check any gender baggage at the door." 

Permalink

"Oooor I could barrel through that and continue being violently queer."

Permalink

"That's between you and your sense of self-preservation." 

Wow, psychology is so fascinating. 

Permalink

It is! But:

"I could conceivably pretend to be monosexual, but not really having only one gender all the time. That's more psychologically necessary to me than having good social status."

Permalink

"I believe you just fine. Not sure if I should wish you luck, offer my help, or run for the hills." 

Permalink

"What would help look like?"

Permalink

"I can keep anyone from making a big deal about you or I can make explaining the whole wide world of the rainbow coalition my next priority. Your choice." 

Permalink

"From a purely altruistic standpoint, the latter option is pretty attractive, but I'm not sure it's the most politically feasible, as per your girlfriend's stated ambitions. Of course, it could be spinned as a platform if you were reasonably sure it would be the winning one for the relevant timeframe."

"This is California. Fair point, though. Doesn't mean I can't do that at school, no one will be looking for social movements I was part of while they're trying to find sex scandals and cover-ups." 

Permalink

"Well, I'm not about to complain that the muse moves you so."

Jackson has a couple of things to think about, then.

The bell rings.

Permalink

Jackson's nice! Ade likes him.

"And now's when Danny shows me where Spanish is."

Permalink

"You already have him waiting on you hand and foot, I'm jealous. Took me years to get into his good graces."

Permalink

Danny arrives.

"So did everything go alright?"

Permalink

"What can I say, I'm very charming," he tells Jackson, waving with two fingers.

When Danny's there: "Yeah, he's really nice, and I think I got him to plan how to make the school less biphobic and transphobic and honestly that's really hot."

Permalink

"That doesn't sound like Jackson. What did you say to him?"

Permalink

"I don't remember it verbatim but something along the lines of not being used to the popular people being cool with my genderfluidity, then he said people here are okay with you being gay but bisexuality is a myth and I should leave gender baggage at the door, then I said I could pretend to be monosexual but couldn't conceivably say I was a single gender and keep my sanity so I'd keep being violently queer, he said he didn't know whether to wish me luck, offer help, or run for the hills, I asked what offering help might look like, he said he could keep people off my back or bring the Good Word of the Rainbow to the people, I said the latter was most altruistic if not political, he said it wasn't that bad, and apparently that convinced him?"

Permalink

"I'll talk to him during practice, see what's going on. He's usually kind of...abrasive, with new people."

Permalink

"I still think I'm just that charming."

Permalink

"I wouldn't dream of arguing there."

And here's Spanish!

Permalink

Spanish indeed! "I'll catch you later, probably have lunch with you guys tomorrow."

Permalink

"We look forward to it."

Permalink

Someone is arguing with the teacher about vosotros again.

Permalink

The other students very politely ignore him.

Ade can talk to one of them while he waits.

 

Permalink

He can do that, while keeping half an ear on Stiles' argument because that is so cute.
