I bet I’ll get hate for this, and I’m not trying to hate on you at all, I’m just so so curious. We been knew for a long time that bisexuality includes non binary people, and that sexuality is about who you’re attracted to and not how (gender blindness doesn’t impact sexuality). So to quote the bisexual manifesto that was written in 1990:
“Bisexuality is a whole, fluid identity. Do not assume that bisexuality is binary or duogamous in nature: that we have "two" sides or that we must be involved simultaneously with both genders to be fulfilled human beings. In fact, don’t assume that there are only two genders. Do not mistake our fluidity for confusion...”
So it seems that since the coining of the term it HAS included nbs. Yes the prefix bi means two, but in this incidence, that seems irrelevant given the prescribed definition by activists. So my question I suppose is, knowing this, why do you still identify as pan? It literally means the same thing as bi, and is contributing to bi erasure as a result. Do you feel more comfortable with the label? Is it a result of internalized biphobia? Again, I’m not tryna hate on y’all just call out some apparent bi erasure here.
