#Meanwhile with pan and a ton of other mspec identities - we all have much more solid definitions
Text
Anyway I love you pan, I love you omni, I love you p(o)ly, I love you abro, I love you pomo, I love you mspec lesbians, I love you mspec gays, I love you mspec identities that have faced horrific discourse and been accused of being "bi/lesbo/homo/transphobic" for things out of your control, and I love you mspec identities that help to give people more accurate labels for their feelings
We are all so damn cool and our histories all run much deeper and have way more meaning than what any sad exclusionists try to give us
Our identities have a place in the community, and we're damn well going to stay where we feel we belong
We aren't hurting anyone by simply existing. We are creating a better diversity in the spaces we visit. We are broadening the horizons more by existing and talking with our fellow queer and gay folk.
Our identities are more than discourse points. Our identities are more than the "worst" parts of our (old) definitions. Our identities are real, good, and beautiful.
Our identities belong. You belong. Don't let any damn nitpicky ahistorical exclusionist try to tell you otherwise.
And before I go, I love you mspec solidarity, including solidarity with our bi siblings, friends, companions and lovers.
Have a great day y'all
#Jean mumbles#Mspec positivity#Mspec solidarity#I was having thoughts last night about bi and pan and general mspec stuff#And how other mspec identities that aren't bi are actually literally so important#Because as someone who used to id as bi - it was something that never fit quite right#It was like a comfy sweater that was just a size too small#And then I found the pan label and was like wait! That's me!! I don't have a preference for the gender of my S/O!#That's something I don't really take into consideration!#And then I heard stuff how ''well that's just being bi'' ''you're not pan - that's not real. you're JUST bi'' ''why don't you just be bi''#Because while ''attraction to all genders/regardless of gender'' can be *a* bi definition#It's not THE definition. There really isn't a concrete bi definition#And that's super cool and awesome! I love that! Bi can be whatever you want it to be!#But it's also just a bit too broad for someone like me#There's almost too many definitions for me you know?#Meanwhile with pan and a ton of other mspec identities - we all have much more solid definitions#That's the beauty of micro/umbrella labels for me honestly#Because while I could identify as bi - I can also identify as pan - because both identities have the ability to use the same definition#While still being their own identities#Much like how a bi person can say they're only attracted to men and genderqueer and nonbinary and various MOGAI genders#Much like how a gay/vincian person ALSO could do that#And they'd still be their own identities#All the shades of purple have their own names. But they all still are broadly known as ''shades of purple''#Like. It literally takes not a lot of energy to realize this#To realize that other mspec identities DO serve a purpose in being here#And it's to give those of us that want a more specific label#A more specific label!!#Even if we fumble with definitions every now and then#We still have listened to each other and grown better because of it#But some people don't want to see that
