Just want to put this out there.
I'm saying this mostly for me to avoid possible triggers with this discourse in the future, but I don't feel comfortable interacting with people who have the following in their blog or carrd:
Don't follow/Don't interact if you believe bi/pan lesbians exist.
I understand why people use it if they have disagreements with the label, but I really do not feel comfortable with denying the existence of someone because of their sexuality or gender. I feel the phrase is enbyphobic as it hearkens back to a time when most people back in the 2010s used the same phrasing around non-binary people, such as "non-binary people don't exist" or "non-binary people are transtrenders or trans fakers". I'm also against any phrasing that tells those who use mspec good faith labels to die or to kill themselves. I do not support that at all.
In saying that, way too much of the anti-mspec crowd comes off as enbyphobic and biphobic with their arguments against good faith mspec labels, even when they are arguing for protecting lesbian, pansexual, and bisexual spaces. There are some labels I don't agree with (I prefer to keep my opinions private, please respect this), but I refuse to perpetuate harm against innocent people.
