compulsory sexuality in queer communities 

@Ratttz yeah I agree this is a major issue and I'm not really sure how to resolve it :/

@Ratttz one thing that I think might help a lot is for us to be better at designating specifically sexuality-focused events and to desexualize other events.

@Ratttz the thing that's a lot harder to address is the thing where sexual availability is a primary means of gaining social capital in a group. And I'll fully admit, it's something that works in my favor a whole lot of the time. I think we as communities could be a lot better at building relationships that aren't based around sex.
