Sitting Queer
🕑 Added 2025-01-22 16:25:51 +0000 UTCFor those that don’t know it’s a running joke that queer people (especially bisexual people) sit in their chairs weird. So I made a comic with that theme!
I’m a proud queer woman! Though I recognize being a bisexual person in a straight relationship comes with a lot of privilege. I’m so thankful for the LGBTQIA community and all the wonders we have done!
I really struggled with this comic because I couldn’t quite get the chair pose right. Oh well! My new mantra is ‘good enough’ 🥰❤️ Wishing you a good week ❤️ -Meg

This is such a thing in Autistic culture too - plus we're much more likely to be queer. Huge overlap! 🌈

Quick question, how is it a Privilege if you're in a monogamous relationship? I get it if its not monogamous about various options you have available, but does it really make a difference when you are in a monogamous relationship, as there is the expected rule of "You can look but you can't touch" regarding other people. Not trying to insult you or belittle you, just am curious regarding this. As usually monogamous relationships limit the capacity of what you do with other people

As a fellow Bi lady, can confirm, sitting "properly" in chairs feels *wrong.*

I chose a specific office chair because I have to sit crisscross while working 😂

We're here, we're queer, and we're all sitting weird!

Amazing nugget of info. Go weird-seat-sitters! Have you ever done reference photos of yourself for your work? I've only started recently doing it. It's embarassing, but has helped a lot. Love your art!

The moment I saw the chair pose, I thought to myself "She looks so comfortable and chill", I could never tell you struggled. It's so interesting to know these details!!

"Bi people can't sit correctly" is one of my favorite memes, not least because I can't sit correctly.

I love this! I love the support you always give your community and after the events we've all seen this week, we all ought to be the best LGBTQIA allies and protectors 🏳️🌈💕 Everyone who is LGBTQIA is BEAUTIFUL, and you all exist and make this world better. Don't let imbeciles try to dim your light!

Love your mantra! A coworker once told me, "If it's good enough for government work, it's good enough for me." This one saying has saved me from a lot of anxiety over the years

Same here ✌️ being bi in a straight passing relationship is a privilege for sure. Thank you for this comic ✨
