Yes, I get that, sexuality is confusing! you calling urself a bi/pan/etc lesbian is very much okay. You are being both cool and sexy. Gay/lesbian is an umbrella term. And calling urself bi/pan/etc lesbian is awesome and like I said those labels rule.

hiya! I got an actual question, sorry if this sounds rude- you don't have to answer. what is a bi lesbian, or stuff like that? (ie. bi/pan/lesbians, etc.) I hope this doesnt come off as rude /gen

hi anon, it didn't come off as rude to me—no worries!

i've received similar asks to this in the past, so i'll just link to those. i also highly recommend @posi-pan's post on the subject, linked here: what are mspec lesbians?—it's a full, comprehensive answer to the question you're asking.

asks of the past:

bi lesbians

fringe labels & self identifying

and while we're on the topic of queer labels, i also want to share this post by @batmanisagatewaydrug that sums up a lot of feelings i have about labels.

i wish you a fantastic day, anon!
