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.
if sexuality and gender has a culture then just like a location some may not follow that culture. if i was born in japan but didnt watch anime, i would still be verifiably japanese. if im gay but don't have a slight nasal tone in my voice or a pride flag hanging up i would still be gay.
listen to the song "edu-cation" by dr. dre. there is one statement that sticks out to me- "whatever happened to falling in love with a n**** with a bus pass? because you loved the n****? but I'M the pimp, motherf**ker... I gotta be the player..."
im not cookie cutter. my love is still real. im valid in spite of not having f**king nose rings.
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
