You know what's wild, is that there are bisexuals who say that pansexuals are just biphobic or have internalised biphobia. Nah man, I just like pansexual, but I dig tf out of the bi flag. I like to think that pan means attracted to people regardless of gender. And I don't have a definition for bi because it's up to how the bi person identifies.
I love my bisexual siblings, y'all are amazing.
We as queers shouldn't be so divided against each other; we are many different colours but we are all part of the rainbow flag, because there is strength in kindness and numbers. Bi and pan are both part of the spectrum that is our human experience, and whatever label we identify with shouldn't stand in the way of us standing up for each other in face of discrimination. We cannot let labels divide us - that is exactly what the ultra-conservatives, far-right extremists, and cookers want. It makes it easier for them to kill us off if we do most of the work for them.
Bs who hate on Ps, or Ts, or anyone really, are pieces of shit like any other bigot. Bs ought to know what it is like to be invisible, they shouldn't be perpetuating the cycle of hate and exclusion. Ugh.
You are amazing, thank you for being amazing. ๐ thank you for reading my long-ass rant ha
