[themeaningofbisexuality]

Via The Bisexual Index on Twitter

[Picture is a series of tweets by The Bisexual Index which read:]

We don’t say “bisexuality is attraction to two or more genders”. We say “bisexuality is attraction to more than one gender”.

If you don’t see a difference then why not use our version?

There is a difference. 1) Saying “It’s not 2, it’s 2 (or more)” doesn’t really get away from the outdated “there’s two” model.

1a) And it footnotes other genders. No need to! 2) And as with our list of points, more than one can include ‘not entirely two’.

But again - if you see genders or your attractions purely as integers then don’t worry: More than one totally includes two.

Part of the @bisexualindex mission statement is to promote “more than one” over “two” or “two+”.

We think it’s more inclusive and reflective of the bisexual community. Other bi orgs disagree and that’s cool. It’s not mandatory.

But when people who don’t use the bisexual label tell you we’re wrong, feel free to tell them we don’t care. Our label, our definition.

This is a very interesting thread and they make some good points as to why “more than one” would be preferable to “two or more”.

I specifically dislike the “same and other genders” definition due to the way it submits to the “bi = 2″ definition and also specifies a particular gender you have to be attracted to and, in The Bisexual Index’s words, “it footnotes the other genders”. (and since the SGA discourse I really don’t trust people who use it for the whole community).

But I also feel that “more than one” and “two or more” are equally inclusive and reflective of everyone in the bi community so they can be used more interchangeably than some other definitions, though I’ll definitely consider promoting the “more than one” definition a bit more going forward.

[captain-consent]

i prefer the term “pansexual” for me because no matter how you define “bisexual” “bi” still means two, and not “more than one” or “two or more”. I really don’t see the “same and other gender_s_” in “bi”. It feels like people notices their (conservation) word for identity doesn’t match the actualised idea of gender and instead of letting the word go as something outdated they cling to it :x The word “bi” only then doesn’t support the idea if two genders when it’s unknown or questioned and that’s not often enough for me.

I’m okay with people identifying as bi though, it’s just the reason I don’t.

[themeaningofbisexuality]

As ever many pansexual people continue to have biphobic reasons for IDing as pansexual.

The definitions can overlap and the different identities are still valid - and pansexuality isn’t some “new” term to replace the “outdated” bisexuality, bisexuality is an identity with its own history and community that has developed over decades.

[feministcaptainkirk]

Can we update the definition of pansexuality to include their inability to stay in their lane?

unpopular makeup and beauty opinions?

wearing makeup isn’t revolutionary

You can enjoy wearing makeup or like feel empowered by your sharp eyeliner or whatever but that doesn’t mean your choice exists in a vacuum and that you haven’t been conditioned to want to wear makeup. Your sharp eyeliner can’t slay the patriarchy since the patriarchy is the one who pressured you into wearing it in the first place.

Also we don’t need like 90% of the skin care products that are marketed at us.

if i were in a gay space and some idiot from this website was like “uh excuse me can you and your girlfriend not hold hands?? i’m romance repulsed and it makes me uncomfortable” i literally would knock their teeth out

[funshine-against-maps]

all good n well but holding hands isnt inherently romantic so. and its not like people have control over what makes them uncomfortable. youre not gonna show an arachnophobe a tarantula are you? but like, A+ for making romance repulsed ppl seem like insensitive assholes

[loismacgiver-deactivated2018061]

do you understand that walking up to a couple holding hands, in what is supposed to be a safe space for them to do so where they might otherwise face physical violence, and saying “you can’t do that here, it makes me uncomfortable,” does, indeed, make you an insensitive asshole at best and a perpetrator of homophobia at worst?

[funshine-against-maps]

But that person isn’t threatening you with violence, if they said “stop holding hands or I’m gonna shoot you” then THATS what’s bad, but just stating that your actions make them feel uncomfortable is not. Imagine you were a kid playing outside and looking at bugs, you pick up a worm and your friend tells you not to put it near them, it’s kinda like that for romance repulsed people. No, I’m not equating affection to bugs, but both can make people insanely uncomfortable, even if it’s not necessarily you.

Tldr; stop acting like romance repulsed ppl are being homophobic for not wanting to see your pda. I feel sick every time I see a straight couple kiss/interact romantically in the hallways or stairwells at school, guess that makes me an asshole for not wanting to see that.

[stoner-butch-deactivated2017082]

someone holding hands with their partner is not purposefully making you uncomfortable like trying to make someone touch a bug. if seeing people being affectionate bothers you so much, that’s YOUR problem, not theirs. look away, leave, do whatever you want, but going into a space that is specifically set up for gay people to love and touch their partners in a somewhat public context where they do not have to fear being assaulted or ridiculed and telling them to stop because it makes you, personally, uncomfortable, DOES make you an asshole.

[boykween-deactivated20191129]

if you find yourself trying to change a fundamental aspect of LGBT safe spaces (i.e., us being able to be affectionate with each other without fear of public rejection/violence) maybe you don’t belong in LGBT safe spaces

Tbh there is this huge elephant in the room that rarely gets talked about. Like men are not sexual objects and just because I, a woman, is horny does not mean my husband HAS to sexually satisfy me and begging and pleading unless in the realm of play is not okay like getting them to say yes by guilt isn’t consent And male consent is so important and I feel like it doesn’t get spoken about as much because of the whole “males are always horny” false ideology and I wish we cut down creepy girls the same way we cut down creepy guys

[daddys-chaton-noir]

this this this

& to piggyback a little, if you don’t mind, it is so fucked up that we (everyone) expect men to be 100% go all the time. they have bad days too. sometimes they don’t feel sexy. like, there isn’t anything weird about that at all. men are not always horny & they aren’t odd if they don’t want to have sex.

you’re odd (& a bad person), however, if you make them feel like they aren’t right for not wanting to.

[sillylittleparadox]

This is important.
