Not me getting angry that PFLAG says shit like "Bi+" 🙃🙃🙃
Bi/Bi+ is not a good umbrella term whatsoever.
Identities like pan, ply, and omni deserve individual recognition, not to be lumped under another identity that may have overlap with them but is not them. Mspec (multisexual/multiromantic spectrum) is right there, makes much more sense, and doesn't erase anyone's identity.
For years, non-bi mspecs were told, and are STILL told, that they're just "spicy bi" or "bi and trying to be special" or whatever other invalidating phrases. For years, these identities were shit on and told that they're all just "basically bi," that terms like pan/ply/omni aren't real or valid. For years, people were told they can't or shouldn't call themselves those terms and should just accept that they're actually bi, not "whatever they claim to be." For years, non-bi mspecs got told they were biphobic for using these labels and got called pseudo-derogatory terms (like "pannies" for pan people) for using them.
Terms like bi+ are honestly so unhelpful and kinda problematic tbh. It doesn't convey allyship or support IMO. All it does is erase specific identities and play into the panphobic/plyphobic/omniphobic bullshit other mspecs have been told for years. Please, don't claim to be an organization that supports LGBTQ+ people and then do stuff like this fr.
