That person you're stubbornly supporting made the panphobe list not because the original offender horrorlesbians was being panphobic b they had some sort of falling out (he was only a follower) so he made it his personal vendetta and targeted a lot of other lesbians and brown people. The brown people were put in a worse category and he called them monkeys. This has snowballed and a lot of people have gotten caught in the crossfire. Most of the people this individual managed to convince are minors or very naive people, other people have seen other 'panphobes' reacting to this in solidarity and have gotten the wrong impression if anything many bloggers are against the pansexual label for its origins based on biphobia and transphobia as you yourself said. People calling themselves panphobes is a reaction to this individual's lesbophobia and racism, if anything is an act of solidarity, yet they keep receiving anons, vagues and call outs. Please don't fall for it and don't give this person a platform. Everything was in the blog he deleted (most likely because it made him look bad). The person keeps reblogging you and acting offended and other lgbt people have fallen for it.
Horrorlesbians and their “beloved mutuals” started calling themselves panphobes publicly before the panphobe block list came out, in support of blogger fieropasta who is an avid and vociferous panphobe. I haven’t seen the block list and I don’t know anything about the person who made it (I don’t even know who they are) and quite frankly I don’t care about it at all, as it had nothing to do with the statements I made on my blog
Many people have erroneously called me a biphobe in the last few weeks, but because I love and support bi people I would never even jokingly say that I was one, and even if that were the only reason these people claimed to be panphobes (which I have evidence to suggest it is not) I would still be appalled by that behavior
There is not and never has been anything inherently biphobic or transphobic about identifying as pansexual. Was the term created based on certain biphobic or transphobic ideals? Maybe. Are there biphobic and transphobic pansexuals? Sure. But there are people like that within any sexuality, and most pansexuals do not identify as pansexual out of hatred or misunderstanding but bc they just prefer using a term that doesn’t (however incidentally) imply an attraction to only two genders. It’s horrifying to me that you would dismiss people claiming to hate a group of people for their sexuality just bc other people were bigoted against them and/or being mean to them??????
It’s literally morally wrong to be panphobic. If someone were mean to my friend and called them a lesbophobe and I was like “well then I’m a lesbophobe too” that would be wrong of me, wouldn’t it? And that’s literally what these people are doing. If someone calls you out for doing something wrong and they’re wrong to do that, the appropriate response is to say “I can’t believe you’d say that about me, of course I’m not a panphobe, I support people’s right to identify as different sexualities”. It’s amazing to me that you’re making an argument that anything else is appropriate lmao like????
I was not “””convinced””” by that anon, I was well aware of the problem before anyone said anything to me about it and just hadn’t said anything bc I’m old and tired and I try to stay out of discourse these days, but when directly asked to comment on my stance I sure as hell fucking have one
I’m sorry someone was being racist to these people (although all the people I personally knew on the reported blocklist were white, including horrorlesbians and fieropasta, the only two I have personally said anything against) but that has nothing to do with them being shitty to pansexual people, which is the only thing I have said anything about at all.
It disgusts me that you think it’s acceptable to come to me and try to say “don’t you know it’s racist to dislike panphobes” as if those two things have ANYTHING to do with each other. And I can assure you plenty of “”real”” panphobes are out there; just look at the notes on my posts about how it’s okay to be pan. This isn’t a made up problem someone came up with to be racist, it’s real and it hurts real people
