Thoughts on Rita Ora’s new song girls?

jaxxgarcia:

I totally get what Hayley is saying, I think queer girls deserve more diverse music. That being said, i’m also team “let bi girls be bi” and accepting all queer folks for expressing their sexuality how they choose. I’m not here for presumable (problematic) straight women playing into tropes on the track *but* equally not here for shaming girls that want to sexually explore (that was most of us at some point in time before we realized we were wlw). The over-sexualization of wlw in the hands of men/the patriarchy is not bi women’s cross to bear and they should be allowed to have fun without penalization. Bi girls get enough shit. There’s bound to be a 12 year old that doesn’t know about hayley kiyoko that hears that on the radio and helps them realize they’re wlw. My 2¢
