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!
