Re: Somewhat related question
(Anonymous) 2013-11-18 02:20 am (UTC)(link)The really sad part about it all is that, because of this problem, there basically isn't an easy term for that that won't cause people to eat you alive. If you say you're bisexual, someone is going to shit on you because oooh that's transphobic blah blah blah. If you say you're pansexual, someone is going to shit on you because oooh that's a stupid special snowflake term blah blah blah.
Sorry, I'm quite bitter towards the pansexual crowd because when I came out it was so easy, I could say "I'm bisexual" and everyone would understand. Now I can't use a nice single-word explanation without getting insulted because other people of my same sexual orientation decided that's not good enough. I have reverted to explaining in the long-winded way. Truly a victory for everyone, assholes.

(Anonymous) 2013-11-18 02:50 am (UTC)(link)Aaaaaannnnd this is why I don't want to come out as bi yet.
The reaction from friends & family is terrifying enough, without the thought that the lesbian & gay community will hate me, too.
Re: Somewhat related question
(Anonymous) 2013-11-18 03:15 am (UTC)(link)And THIS is why over-labelling is bad!
Good luck, anon-person. I hope that when you do come out you find yourself among the supportive and the strong, rather than the petty and pedantic. *hugs!*
Re: Somewhat related question
(Anonymous) 2013-11-18 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)I can absolutely understand that. :( I've been extremely lucky that not a single person between my family and friends has been anything but supportive, but people on Tumblr? Yipes. The most vitriolic things I've heard were from people of my same age who are queer themselves; meanwhile, my 81-year-old grandma is cheering for me and my girlfriend. Makes you think...
Good luck, anon!
Re: Somewhat related question
(Anonymous) 2013-11-18 03:48 am (UTC)(link)Then, I've never met a single bisexual person who said 'nope, just cis people please, and definitely no one who's genderqueer.'
I'm sure they exist, but it's in no way inherent to the definition of bisexuality. I'm actually genderqueer myself, and I get more and more annoyed by the ever-growing list of things I'm supposed to be offended about just so that some people get an extra special tumblr label.
