People tagging this as “Save Afghanistan” etc. do you not realize this exact paternalistic attitude is what the problem is and what Mohammed is roasting Marianne Williamson for? Your desire to “Save Afghanistan” has legitimized decades of imperialist violence and brutality like the type this fucking skinthing enacted on innocent Afghan civilians.

I dont really care if you use the term bisexual or pansexual, but what i DO care about is that you understand that bisexuality at NO stage in history was EVER trans-exclusionary. Bisexuality has always included trans folks, and non-binary folks, and the entire spectrum of gender between male and female, as well as Definitively Gender and agender. It has ALWAYS meant “attraction to more than one gender.” It has NEVER meant “attraction to cis men and women only.”

So, pan, bi, use whichever label you will. But do NOT buy into the recent-years innacurate concept that bisexuality is attraction to cis men and women only, because thats literally never been the case.

@brassmama exactly.

^^ Like. Its literally right there in the middle of the flag.

And by contrast, this is what the pan flag colours mean:

So literally its just……

  • bi colours = “same gender, opposite gender, and other genders”
  • pan colours = “men, women, and nb people.”

Those two things are…… not all that different to each other.

The purple has always, literally since the flag was created, meant “more genders.”

And bisexuality included “more genders” in the definition before the bi flag was created, too. Thats why they included the purple bar in the first place, because it was reflective of bisexual people’s attraction to and relationship with gender.

If you feel that pansexual suits you better, or you like the pan flag more, then thats fine – but don’t spread the misconception that bisexuality is remotely exclusionary. Because its literally never been.

Just to clear some things up (from the tags, since op mentioned the pan flag was created to be “woke”) here’s a thread from the creator of the pan flag

And another set of tweets from their pinned post

Basically, they didn’t design the pan flag to be “woke” or to have anything to do with the bi flag or even much in the way of a deeper meaning—they just thought the flags at the time were ugly and designed their own and it caught on. They were a 20 y/o who went “nah I’m going to make my own” which is still very common in terms of flag edits and niche identity flags.

I am not at all disagreeing with op or the main points of the post!! I just wanted to clear this part up since the post is about flag design/meanings

you’re not a better, more moral, or more accomplished person than homeless people. you’re not a better, more moral, or more accomplished person than drug addicts. you’re not a better, more moral, or more accomplished person than sex workers.

as i see people genuinely celebrating so many sex workers losing their jobs/main source of income today, you are not more deserving of respect or compassion than sex workers and you’re not more deserving of respect or compassion than drug addicts or homeless people.

So far I have spent my day watching scenes from Babylon 5 and crying.

It's still the best sci-fi show ever made, to me at least.
