By the way- it’s biphobic to say that Bi is only ever always attraction to two genders.

By the way- it’s biphobic to say that Bi is only ever always attraction to two genders.
So I shouldn’t have to make this but uh, here we are
Good & fine
• Using Pan because you like the specificality
• Acknowledging that Pan is a microlabel (nothing wrong with microlabels, if you want to be more specific to describe your experiences that’s fine)
• Acknowledging that Bi is attraction to at least 2 genders but can be more or all
• Using Pan because you like that it’s more clear/straightforward while acknowledging that Bi people can experience attraction the same way as you
Not good & fine at all
• Using Pan to mean attraction to men, women, and trans people
• Using Pan because “Bi only means two genders”
• Using Pan because you think Bi people can’t be attracted to enbies
• Thinking that Pan is attracted to peoples “souls instead of their gender” (gender is simply a prerequisite for attraction, people love people who they are regardless)
I’m willing to explain why these aren’t good but uh, yeah, that’s the post.
Please don’t forget that all ways of being bisexual are acceptable. There truly is no right or wrong way to be bi: no matter who you like or how much, no matter who you have or haven’t dated, no matter if you act on your attraction to a specific gender only, whether you feel no sexual attraction at all or lots of it - you are just as bi.

Etsy Pride Packs
So I have some time on my hands so I was wondering if anyone would like a pride pack from Etsy.
Basically you give me an orientation or gender/“pride” theme, and I’ll find stuff from Etsy. You can specify your price range, what type of things you want (clothes, accessories, collectibles, etc.).
What people think internalised biphobia is:
inability to be proud of your bisexuality
What internalised biphobia is in addition to that:
being convinced you’re not bisexual enough
constantly questioning what if you’re actually gay or straight
feeling like you don’t count as bisexual/LGBT anymore because of your current partner’s gender
feeling like you need to prove you’re “really bisexual” by sleeping with/dating people of different genders
feeling like you’re not a full and equal member of the LGBT community unless you’re in a same sex relationship
feeling like any issues you might face because of your sexual orientation aren’t real or don’t count because bisexuals only have it “half as bad”
prioritising every other issue over bisexual activism because you don’t believe bisexuals deserve support, resources, respect or care as much as other minorities
feeling guilty for being monogamous because you think it takes away from your “bisexual credentials”. feeling guilty for being non-monogamous or promiscuous because you think you’re reinforcing the stereotypes
being ashamed of liking a particular gender because you feel it makes you less feminist/less queer/less pure. trying to minimise or apologise for attraction to a certain gender
being uncomfortable with the word bisexual, thinking it’s shameful, dirty or “just doesn’t sound right”. being scared of, ashamed of or uncomfortable with saying “i’m bisexual” out loud. using euphemism or avoiding the word “bisexual”.
wondering if you just convinced yourself you’re bi for attention and questioning the validity of your attraction and experiences
feeling like you’re deceiving your partners and you need to apologise for/minimise your bisexuality
thinking bisexuality is not as valid, important, political or radical as some other sexual orientations
y’all will make up fifty different ways to avoid saying bisexual and then act like it’s bi erasure to let lesbians have three words
Fun fact they're both bi erasure can we try not being biphobic please
bisexuals aren’t the ones making up all these words, more often than not
i’m bi and i’m so tired of people insisting they’re not bi because they “care about personality” or “like ~all~ genders” as if my ass isn’t here falling in love with just about everyone i meet
butch/femme have never been lesbian exclusive. bisexuals and gay men have always used them. if lesbians want their own words, then great! create them then! instead of pretending words historically used by all the lgbt community are exclusive for lesbians only.
I accidentally strayed into the Discourse Tags, and now I’m Sad, so here is your routine loud, proud, and defiant reminder that butch and fem/me (the latter especially) are broad, expansive terms, and not even exclusively sapphic let alone lesbian, and are incredibly common gender expression descriptors for general queer folks and have their roots in gay male communities as much as lesbian ones, and none of these identities have separate histories, let alone terms; they’re all jumbled up together, and we are all inheritors of this messy legacy just stumbling around to make ourselves Okay, and that trying to police gender expression terms, which hurt literally no one, falls into respectability politics at best and radfem at worst. The words we use are good and Right.

ok so we’ve established cowgoth but does hawaiian goth exist?? or touristy goth??
‘cause this is Florida but you know I consistently wear black and long sleeves, but i’ve also got that bit of color with the patterned button-up shirts and the cool sunglasses and maybe the occasional fanny pack idk…
this is ME. this is REAL. i’m makin it MAINSTREAM.
v a l i d
made some new bi stickers 4 my redbubble. the bi flag + bi moons r specifically bc theyre not v well-known symbols n if ur closeted u may b able 2 display those.
while these r my personal edits (i use an edit of the bi flag i made bc i like the colors better lol), i obviously didnt originate the bi flag or the 2 bi symbols i used here. 4 that reason i feel it would b dishonest 4 me 2 sell them n make a profit off them as my own work. the stickers on my redbubble therefore have a 0% markup, which means if u buy them theyre only the base price of redbubble stickers n i dont make any profit off them. hopefully this also makes them slightly more affordable.
w that being said feel free 2 check out the rest of my redbubble 2 lol
lol WHY ARE SOME PANSEXUALS LIKE THIS. I’m sorry but bisexuals had used the word bisexual to refer to attraction beyond the gender binary for decades before you were born. Learn your history fer cryin oot lood!
I’m not gonna go into how this is also offensive to nonbinary people like myself, but y’all are free to peruse my blog for that.
telling bisexuals we’re “actually gay” is biphobic
telling bisexuals we’re “actually straight” is biphobic
telling bisexuals we’re “actually pan” is biphobic and i am increasingly convinced that pansexuality is just the newest strategy of trying to erase bisexuality out of existance by rebranding it as “more woke” pansexuality
I just want a denim or leather jacket with a bunch of pride pins and patches. Is that too much to ask?

what people think are the sexy parts of women:
butt
titties
lips
what the sexy parts of women actually are:
the fangs
the venom dripping from her claws
the terrifying scream that shatters glass
the menacing way she cracks the bones of her enemies
also the titties
