this gives off “I’m Asian so I can say the nword” energy.

asexual people aren’t inherently LGBT.

all you’ve done for this community is complain about gay PDA.

follow my new Instagram account focused on discourse!!

I’d really appreciate some support :))

You’re right, I am a confused bisexual.

I’m confused about how we’ve let our history get stolen, ignored, and redefined.

I’m confused about why our community has let others tell us who we’re supposed to be.

I’m confused about the way we’ve split and distanced ourselves from each other.

We’re all attracted to all genders. We’re all bisexual. Only we can define ourselves, if we so wish, and only we can make our history.

We’ve come so far from the days where the only options were gay or straight. We’ve come so far from the judgement and disbelief of both oppressive cishets and the gay community. We’ve come so far in advancing concepts of gender and trans inclusivity.

Now, there are too many labels encompassed by bisexuality to count. Now, others confining us to misconceptions is acceptable. Now, our trans-inclusive history is being twisted.

We need to remember who we are—bisexuals and biromantics. We need to remember why the LGBT community was formed—to fight lesbophobia, homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia and to achieve equality between all sexualities, romanticisms, and genders/gender statuses. We can’t do this if we’re separated and fighting.

Your bisexuality is not dirty or limited, so don’t you succumb to biphobic lies. Your bisexuality is lovely, it is honest, it is broad, it is inclusive, it is home, and it is what we make it together.

When you say two things are different, and you specifically state one thing has a certain feature, you are heavily implying (if not outright stating) that the other specifically does not have that feature.

If you say Box A and Box B are distinct, then describe them:
Box A is 6″X6″X6″ and made of cardboard;
Box B is 6″X6″X6″, made of cardboard and purple
Then (based on the information) Box A is necessarily not purple. If Box A was purple, they would not be distinct.

If you say pansexuality is distinct from bisexuality, then describe pansexuality as “attraction to all genders (inclusive of trans and NB people/with no gender preference/with no focus on genitals/with focus on personality/etc.)” then the implication is that the opposite is necessarily true of Bisexuality.

You’re saying bisexuality necessarily excludes trans and NB people.
You’re saying bisexuals necessarily have a gender preference.
You’re saying bisexuals necessarily focus on gender/genitals.
You’re saying bisexuals necessarily don’t focus on personality.

People will, literally, agree that there is no tangible difference between pansexuality and bisexuality, they will accept all arguments that pansexuality is not a distinct sexuality, they will fully agree with almost all battle-axe bisexual talking points… and then say “But the distinction matters to some”.

Pansexuals:Ignoring the many posts and documents battleaxe bis write about how pansexuality inherently re-defines bisexuality and harms bisexuals “Why can’t you just let people have fun?”

So many lists of LGBT+ identities contain labels that directly erase, redefine, or demonise other labels.

Doing this, first of all, perpetuates harmful misinformation. But secondly, it also pushes away many of us who belong under the LGBT(+) umbrella.

I feel no solidarity with those who spread false narratives about me to make themselves look better.

What’s the most ridiculous definition of bi and pan you’ve heard

I want to work on a new infographic and/or detailed discourse post. What are some of the most ridiculous/biphobic definitions or “distinctions” you’ve heard someone say. Please reblog/comment and share. Screenshots encouraged if you got them.

Some of the ones I’ve heard:

“Bi has preferences, pan does not”

“Bi is two genders, pan is all”

“Bi people care about genders/genitals, pan people care about personalities”

“bi is men and women, pan is men, women, and enby”

“bi people only like men and women, pan people like intersex people too”

“bi you’re attracted to people based on sex, pan you’re attracted to people based on personality.”

“I’m pan so I like men, women, and disabled people!”

I saw a screenshot of that on FB and I can’t for the life of me find it again.

oh boy I have one for you, courtesy of italian twitter:

translation:“I think [pansexuality] is a "more detailed” bisexuality, for example a bisexual could be racist, so love both sexes but not someone who’s black. Pansexuals can love anyone without any distinction"

I desperately want to tell you that this was a troll but I would be lying

The “bi cares about genitals, pan cares about personality” is honesty the worst one of all of these, not because it’s the worst thing you can say but because it’s so commonly used. It sets the idea that bisexual people are shallow and only care about look where pansexuals are pure angels who care about more than physical attractiveness. It reinforces the idea that pansexuality is the better version.

exclus: pan = bi

also exclus: gender isnt a social constuct. 

me: oh so you think transphobia.

Fam, I don’t think you understand what “transphobia” is.

Imagine thinking gender is a social construct.

That’s just a couple steps away from being a damn TERF.

“Thinking that gender isn’t a social construct is transphobic”

N-no

In fact, thinking gender is a social construct is transphobic.

Die mad about it.

If gender were nothing but a social construct you could simply unteach it to yourself and be 100% unbothered. Yet instead of doing so, trans people spend tens of thousands of dollars on name and gender marker changes, HRT, surgery…. I wonder why /s

Yes!!!! That one’s nice… do you have one for Pan as well?

Fuck OP, pansexuality is valid and get off my blog if you don’t agree

Watch me stomp OP to death with my hooves, and drag them, kicking and screaming, bacwards into Hell with me

You have your hogwarts house in your bio

Yea let’s threaten to hurt someone for recognizing bisexual history! That doesn’t make you sound like you have a severe case of internalized (and externalized) biphobia at all!
