ok talked to a friend abt the pan stuff i think ik how i feel now. the pan label has an inherently biphobic past that im angry about but if you are someone who agrees that bi/pan mean the same thing and ID as pan, i need you to understand that bi ppl have the right to be angry about the label and you should not speak over them. at the same time it sits wrong with me when i see ppl harassing ppl who use the pan label like suibaiting or clogging up their asks/messages because the whole point is to discuss its problematic nature isnt it? like i get it im angry too i would talk about this more if it didnt make me feel gross but what are you really doing whats the end goal ? just like express that anger through your own posts and if ur able to, discuss to pan ppl why the label is an issue. it can uproot a lot of uncomfortable biphobic stuff so ik thats hard to do at the same time esp if ur like me and having to discuss ur own rights feels degrading. and you should be allowed to be openly angry but harassment is a waste of ur own time that ur spending on someone you dont like! take care of yourself instead. im ok with ppl who dont like the pansexuality label following me. if you're pansexual and following me i still recognize you as another queer person and i'm not gonna run you off for that ONLY if you agree that bi/pan mean the same thing. and even then you need to look within yourself and ask if you are choosing that label because you think it is somehow better than bisexuality in any way. and if at the end of the day you are truly a loud advocate for bisexuals then you can stay but im still side-eyeing you for your choice. i'm not going to talk shit about pan ppl as a whole personally because i would feel like i am talking behind the back of ppl close to me like my brother who i genuinely believe actively helps bi ppl speak out for themselves. he's like my best friend and he was the very first person to not only accept me as bi but to encourage me to talk about it and in turn i unintentionally helped him come out to my parents. im not here to spend my whole discourse online esp if i got loved ones who ID as pan. you can talk shit abt pan ppl you have right to that anger but i wont participate in it myself
