anyways it’s REAL fishy and obvious when people demand we call Janelle pansexual while completely erasing her statements about being bi and i’m not about it :^) she’s a bicon and y’all can cry about it.

like, again, bisexual people have been saying FOREVER how our sexualities do not revolve around people’s “parts” or genitals or the cis binary.

but when the prevailing narrative continues to paint us as sex-obsessed degenerates, OBVIOUSLY people are going to be like “hmm well I am not only attracted to men and women… so maybe i am Pansexual instead” because that’s the artificial falsified line that has been drawn in the sand by 2010s rhetoric around bisexuality.

so demanding we call someone, who HAS said they are bisexual, pansexual under those pretenses is just shady. y’all refuse to acknowledge the way you have demonized, stigmatized, and pigeon-holed bisexuality as a concept.

i don’t think i’m at the point where i’m like “pansexuality isn’t a valid label”, but I am increasingly suspicious of people who continue to draw lines between bisexuality and pansexuality as materially different, ESPECIALLY when the lines they draw involve elevating pan ppl over bi people in popularity or acceptability.

it’s just a manifestation of biphobia and a gigantic erasure of our culture and history as a group and i am sique of it!

While I completely agree with your point there is a difference between the two, bisexual is the attraction between two different genders, whether that be Male and female, Male and NB, female and two spirited. Or any other combo. Because bi means two. Where as pan means all so instead of being attracted to two genders at a time they are attracted to everygender.

No, it’s not. I am bisexual and unlike you am very aware of bisexual history. Bisexual people never came up with the “bi means two” beyond “bi means two groups” ie. “those genders like and unlike my own”. 

Pansexuality is a new conception that started in the 2010s, MAYBE as early as 2006ish, which has developed out of the absolutely ahistorical, transphobic assumption that you must be pansexual to be attracted to trans people because you “don’t care” about genitals or gender.

As I JUST said, bisexual people have always extended our definitions of ourselves beyond the cis binary and making assumptions about people’s “parts”. To claim otherwise is biphobic rhetoric that has been used to pathologize bisexual people as sex-obsessed degenerates with no discretion.

Learn to read.

The bisexual manifesto defines bisexuality as two or more genders at that was published in 1990, people have definetely been using that definition for even longer. I know y’all can’t get past your second grade “bi means two! Like a bicycle!” Understanding of things but in the real world things don’t work like that.
