v Read all of it | Guys can we stop gatekeeping sexualities?? I’ve been seeing these bi checklists and truthfully I really hate them, it brings me back to the time my friend cried on my shoulder because she wasn’t leaning to butch femme or goth or listened to girl in red and thus wasn’t lesbian enough. It’s nice to have a culture but in the end leaves people feeling alone and invalid. I may not like garlic bread but still be ace. I may not like red velvet cake (I do tho) but still be aro. Honestly from my time in different sexuality shoes and around the internet I’ve seen a lot of hate for people who aren’t in ‘the culture’ (gate keeping) and it’s just not cool because not liking iced coffee has nothing to do with being bi. /srs | image tagged in blu3 s cool temp | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

i 100 percent agree
just because im agender and pan doesn't mean I'm having a crisis or use lgbt pins
i just f**king exist, live how i want to. If im not 'pan enough' you can suck it because i am pan (pan enough), and this is where im comfortable, im not going to go out of my way just to be put into a social stereotype/class

stereotypes arent inherently bad. prde pins are just fun to have. im not saying "you must have a pride pin" i said "theyre fun but not required at all"

for me stereotyoes are f**king horrible. almost dated someone i met on discord, they though because i was pan i wiuld wear thigh socks, rain boots, soft shirts, have curly hair. stereotypes have gone way too far in modern society.

certainly, lgbt, racial and gender based stereotypes suck almost every time

when i say some are good think the kinds in a sport or game

but yes certainly those ones suck

eh i mean
in sports or games , they can be good, but then you categorize ppl and they'd probably much rather choose it for themselves

Well whatever happened to "I'm bi because I like both men and women"?
2 ups, 9mo
whatever happened to being something because you were in spite of not fitting a stereotype
bingo is a more personally in common thing. (i line up well with sylvia according to bingo.) a checklist? i love a f*g cuz i love the f*g, not cuz some list told me i looked like everyone else.
