"bisexuality is better than pansexuality because it means two or more"

"pansexuality is better than bisexuality because its more explicit in its rejection of the gender binary"

"bisexuality is better than pansexuality because it's older and literally recognised in the acronym of LGBT"

"pansexuality is better than bisexuality because the flag looks nicer"

pansexuality and bisexuality are not remotely at odds with each other, and I think all bisexuals and pansexuals should make out right now actually

Another post hating on anti-mspec people because I am mad and ‘battle-axe bi’ people suck.

People choosing the label that they feel best fits them is not biphobic. If bisexual or biromantic best describes you, great! Don’t let anyone tell you you’re anything else, because bisexuality is whole and fluid and isn’t inherently exclusive. I’m glad you’re comfortable with your orientation. However, some people, myself included, might feel more comfortable with other labels that they feel describe their orientation best. This is not to say that sexual or romantic is chosen. Mspec people are not saying that it is.

Mspec identities are just descriptions that we identify with because they best reflect and describe our orientations. Just like bisexual or biromantic is a better fit for others. And how people feel what best fits their orientation varies, and that’s okay!! For example, a bi person can have gender not play a role in how they feel attraction, and they’re not pan, they are bi because bi is the descriptor that they know fits them best. And in the same vein, an omni person like me, where I can be attracted to people of any gender, but gender can play a role in how I feel attraction, is not bi, because they know that omnisexual or omniromantic describes their orientation the best. There is overlap, and variation in each one, but what is accurate for someone might not be for someone else.

This analogy isn’t really comparing the two, but is more to drive the point home: oranges and clementines are all very similar, and describing a clementine as an orange, while it might get the general point across, isn’t quite right and doesn’t fit what the clementine is. They both are very similar, but not the exact same. And even inside the orange and clementine groups a ton of variation might exist. Some oranges, for example, might be smaller and closer to that of a tangerine, and both types of citrus fruit might have some that are sweeter or more sour. But they’re still slightly different from each other.

Just like homophobia and transphobia, biphobia is very much a thing. No one is denying that. But orientations of some people best described by something other than bi isn’t in any way biphobic. Bi people and people with other mspec identities standing together against our shared struggles, as well as being an ally with other communities for their specific struggles with the rest of the LGBTQ community, is an amazing thing and makes everyone stronger. But those who work against solidarity hurt us all.

I would also talk about how neither bisexuality or other mspec identities aren’t inherently transphobic (because they aren’t) in this post but it’s long enough already so i might do it later. But I do have one thing to say. If you take slurs against trans people and switch out a part to hurl them at pan people, you are the one being transphobic as well as panphobic. It’s hypocritical, really, to claim people with mspec identities other than bi are transphobic and then turn, and be transphobic.

March 25, 2023 - TERF piece of shit Posie Parker had to cut her transphobic event in Auckland, New Zealand, short after a huge crowd of locals decided to run her fascist ass out of town, and she was covered in tomato sauce.

She was so shaken by the event she ended her entire transphobic tour of Australia and New Zealand, which so far had mostly proven popular with literal neo-nazis, and fled the country entirely. Good job, Auckland! [video]/[video]

I know people are angry about predstrogen's ban right now- as they should be. But I really wish more people were talking about Nex Benedict's murder.

They were my age. Not even out of school. And they were murdered. Not "passed away" or "left us" murdered.

And I am so, so angry that this still happens. People will say our world is more accepting and that we don't need to fight anymore, when clearly we do! And I don't want to stop fighting until the world is a safe place for trans kids and trans elders.

So don't forget them. Their name was Nex Benedict.

Edit- important things from the notes:

Nex was indigenous. This is an intersectional hate crime.

Nex used he/him with friends and they/them with family, so I think he used he/they with a preference for he/him.

His murder has been called a suicide. It is very clearly not a suicide.

His name was Nex Benedict

SHOUT IT

SAY HIS NAME: Nex Benedict, another 16 YEAR OLD was murdered in Oklahoma, news channels are deadnaming and misgendering him, just like with Brianna Ghey here in the UK. But I urge you to not let your grief drive you to despair. GET ANGRY. Do not become apathetic, do not let grief numb you. Stand united as a community, lean on each other, have each others back. Reach out to any trans individuals of any age and make sure they have support in some capacity. Speak with your family, your political representatives, your school, anywhere, with anyone, that may be able to make some change, whether big or small. Everything builds, that is the power of a movement, of solidarity. If you make life a bit safer for one trans youth once, then you may have saved their life that day. And that kid might then show some other kid that there is hope, and so they live as well. And it grows.

Fly high Nex.

You know what. I said I wanted to see more positivity and support on my dash this pride month so I’m going to make it myself.

I love you young queers just figuring yourself out and I love you adult queers beginning to have the right you want and I love you older queers who have seen decades of queer history.

I love you queers who came out super young and had themselves all figured out and I love you queers who has a confusing journey and didn’t come out well into adulthood.

I love you queers who are closeted, whether you can’t come out or you just don’t want to.

I love you queers who use “outdated” terms and reclaimed slurs to describe themselves.

I love you lesbians and gay people.

I love you trans people and non-binary people genderqueers, whether or not you transition and no matter what that transition looks like.

I love you bi and pan and omni and polysexual people.

I love you people who are just queer and nothing else.

I love you butches and femmes and studs and twinks and bears and everyone else who uses these terms we have passed down in our community for years and years.

I love you queers who don’t have themselves figured out and questioning people and those who go without any labels at all.

I love you drag queens and drag kings.

I love you queers who take comfort in masculinity or femininity or androgyny and what it personally means to them.

I love you queers who don’t care about being seen as any of those things.

I love you queers who are told they’re too kinky or out there or “unpalatable” for pride and I love you queers who are told they shouldn’t go because their relationship or experience is “straight-passing” and I hope you all go anyway.

I love you asexuals and aromantics and polyamorous people and loveless people and queerplatonic people and aplatonics and anyone else who doesn’t do relationships the way society tells them to.

I love you queers of color who take pride in their culture and their queerness.

I love you queers who are fat and queers who are hairy and queers who otherwise don’t fit the useless beauty standard.

I love you disabled and neurodivergent queers.

I love you allies who aren’t afraid to speak up for your queer friends and partners and children.

I love you queers with dyed hair and piercings and tattoos and wild fashion and I love you queers who dress plainly and get made fun of for “looking straight”.

I love you queers who get made fun of for being queer in a way that’s too weird or “cringe”, even by your own community.

I love you queers who fit the stereotypes cishets imposed on us and I love you queers that don’t.

I love you queers that fit our own community’s stereotypes and in-jokes and I love you queers that don’t.

I love you queers who are married and I love you queers who wish you were and can’t be and I love you queers who don’t care to be married in the first place.

I love you queers who want biological kids and I love you queers that want to adopt or foster and I love you queers who don’t want to be parents at all.

I love you queers who are poor or on minimum wage or can’t work at all.

I love you queers who are sex workers or do other jobs seen as “deviant.”

I love you queers in academia and I love you queers that didn’t even graduate high school.

I love you queers who pour your heart and soul into art and writing and music, whether it’s for your own enjoyment or to share with others.

I love you queers whose identities don’t fit in neat little boxes.

I love you rural queers and city queers and queers who live everywhere in between.

I love you queers who devote your time to studying our history so we can finally see ourselves in the past, in all these people who have long gone unnoticed.

I love you solidarity between queer people with vastly different life experiences.

I love this entire community and all we have accomplished and all the things we still need to do. I’m glad we’re all here.

It would be great if we, collectively as a community, stopped throwing other lgbt people under the bus to talk about our own issues. It’s really not that necessary.

Like to would be great if we talked about transfem problems without randomly throwing in “yeah because transmascs have it so easy!”

It would be great if we could talk about the issues that come with being a certain sexuality without complaining about lesbians, or bisexuals, or gay men, or polyamorous people and how we think everything is about them (newsflash: its not and they have their own issues because being any type of queer is hard)

It would be great if we could let other lgbt people have representation and be happy for them, instead of turning it into complaining about how others don’t have as much representation. You know you can talk about wlw shows getting cancelled without making mlms feel bad for getting another season of heartstopper right? It’s not their fault and it’s good that they’re getting rep.

We can talk about our issues without making other queer people out to be our enemy, because they’re not

Dick: I don't know why people think I'm bisexual.

Selina: Wait, are you not bisexual?

Dick: No.

Tim: Well then why are you sitting like that?

Dick, sat in a ridiculous position: What?

Selina: You're sitting very bisexual-ly.

Dick: That- that's not a thing.

Tim: Also, the way you greet people is super bi.

Selina: Wait, how does he greet people?

Dick: *finger guns* Howdy.

Selina: Oh my god, that's so bi.

Dick: They're not real guns.

Tim: That's not- Wait, are you wearing a NASA shirt?

Dick: What's gay about NASA?

Tim: Nothing's gay about NASA.

Selina: But a lot is bi about NASA.

Tim: Specifically the apparel.

Selina: More specifically the people wearing the apparel.

Tim: *nods*
