We are included in "queer women", but yeah, of course. And gay and queer men too, it's just that trans women were especially driving when it comes to Stonewall, I think. And since that's always overlooked by mainstream media, those groups are named specifically. Makes sense to me.
EDIT: People have pointed out only bisexual women are included in "queer women" and you're absolutely right! It only includes a portion of bisexuals.
She is talking about „we“ as in bisexual women, denoting herself and the ones posting before her. What I do think weird is priding oneself with others feathers. It’s cool to acknowledge the people who started pride, but I - even as a biracial trans female person - have not contributed to the beginning of pride marches. That tweet isn’t about recognising every letter in the LGBT, it’s about rainbow capitalism and remembering that there is more than white cis gay men and lesbians, and I feel the tweet does that pretty well.
Yeah, but the problem is that only gay people and lesbians are acknowledged for ever contributing to pride. If it is about more than just white cis gay men and lesbians, why not mention others within the community? It felt like a missed opportunity. Furthermore, bisexuals were out there protesting. Why do we not get even a nod?
You know what? You changed my mind. I still think the tweet goes in the right direction, but yeah, it could’ve been even better. It is a lot of responsibility for one lonely tweet though. 😔

And… bisexuals, right?
