A rant about microlabels

[_Izzy_]

@Yanderemenhera pan ppl dont care abt your biological [censored] or gender identity

[BBQboi-_-]

@Yanderemenhera pan and bi are completely unrelated and on different sides of the spectrum,bi is attraction to men,women and nonbinary people with a gender based preference and pan is attraction to all/multiple genders with no/weak gender based preference

[Yanderemenhera]

@_Izzy_ that makes sense

[_Izzy_]

i feel like ppl can just be gay and bi, gay for homosexuals in general and bi for bi and pan ppl, and ace for ace ppl, anything else is doing too much TvT (even tho pan is different its still kinda a stretch and embarrassing to explain, when i told my mom she just said im basically bi:/ )

[Yanderemenhera]

@BBQboi-_ i'm glad I finally got an expenation from a pan person, I hear people who aren't bi or pan explain it and they describe bi and pan as being basically identical

[_Izzy_]

@Yanderemenhera i usually just describe it as not gaf, if ur cute ur cute TvT

[fyodor]

Now I have question for you, how would you prefer the community to value others without using micro-labels?

[BBQboi-_-]

@Adam_ gay,straight,bi,pan and if you believe that aromatic and asexual should be included then you put them in there and then boom evb is happy and can just go unlabeled if they wanna be hyper-specific and now evb is more United

[_Izzy_]

@Adam_ u can value ppl with putting a hyper specific label on them:p the whole pride thing is basically for all non-straight ppl, thats the poing of the rainbow flag so all the extras are unnecessary TvT

[Ventrell]

i think lgbt is enough but i do see yall point woth pan but im not sure isnt bi the same because @_izzy_ said pan is basiclly if your cute your cute bi is th same right ?

[_Izzy_]

@Ventrell bi ppl care abt like gender (y'know like pronouns vs biology) pan ppl dont care

like bi ppl wont date non-binary ppl but pan ppl will

its all stupid and lowkey doesnt matter at the end of the day, just date who u like, all of the labels are unnecessary, they can just say their gay/non-straight TvT

after talking abt it pan is lowkey a OD identity bc it only matters bc of the concept of gender which technically doesnt have to do with sexuality since ppl say theyre separate

[BBQboi-_-]

@Ventrell I have a more detailed and defined explanation based on the widely accepted definition in the community,that was obviously a joke/watered down explanation and even then it’s not at all the same as bi 😭

[Ventrell]

@_Izzy_ ohhh i see now so it shpuld rlly be lgbtp*. Another question what dpes "q" in lgbtq stand for

[_Izzy_]

@Ventrell q stands for 'queer' which is just... non-straight and non-cis TvT

it should just be homosexual and Queer TvT
if i could change it id have gay just mean liking the same gender in general and queer is everything else and thats it, instead of lgbtzhwj community just the queer community:p
