It can be, but it also can not be, and it's really up to the individual person whether they like a particular term or why they use it. I know older bi people who are like... well, pansexual actually fits me better, but I've been calling myself bi for so long that changing just feels exhausting. I know people who use bi or pan based on which flag they like better. I know people who use them interchangeably.

As long as people don't give bi or pan weird exclusionary definitions (like the people who were saying bi is transphobic and so if you don't identify as pan you are a transphobe a couple of years ago), I don't think it really matters.

This meme probably best expresses how I feel about the subject.

#Bisexuality#I could probably self describe as pan as well#but bisexuality is how I discovered myself#and found my community#But I will always fundamentally have a lot in common with other mspec people regardless of what terms they use#Unless of course they use it as a cudgel#I have no time or patience for that and thankfully Tumblr is less saturated with that bullshit than it used to be

#Doctor Who#Yeah honestly this is the vibe#The queer coded Doctor with a lust for life and the universe free of his old trauma (before he creates a ton of his own)#And the bi blonde companion with mysteries about her past lurking beneath the surface#A dingy apartment and dark hair rather than a christmas night and hidden music#And they get to explore a universe filled not just with sci fi tropes but with magic and superstition#Where the world of comics might just intrude as easily as a musical number#Also now I'm thinking of how Izzy's adoption storyline that we know RTD was a fan of might have influenced things

Friendly reminder that LGBTQ+, Queer, and LGBT+ are the preferred terms for the community (x).

Friendly reminder that Queer is approved by 72.9% of the people, and the groups who don’t prefer it’s use as an umbrella term are straight people, exclusionists, transmeds, truscums, sex-negative people, and sex work critical people (x).

Friendly reminder that aros and aces are excluded only 9.2% / 8.1% of the time respectively while being included  78.9% / 81.2% of the time (x)

Friendly reminder that exclusionists are in the minority and aro/ace people are included in the LGBTQ+ community by the people within the community.

Also, i checked out the survey the second claim sources a while back: this is not OP choosing the words truscum, exclusionist, etc. These are labels that the survey gave people the option to self-identify as. It’s self-proclaimed exclusionists who dont like the word queer, not random accusations

yeah that’s super important.

This one gets reblogged on main. The reclassification of ‘queer’ as an inexcusable slur is a recent development which stems in part from exclusionist rhetoric. We reclaimed it decades ago. Learn our history. You are not immune to TERF propaganda, but you can absolutely choose to educate yourself to spite it.

Be kind. 💜

“friend of Dorothy” was used to say you were gay discreetly for fucking years. Where did it come from?

“You have some queer friends, Dorothy”, and she replies, “The queerness doesn’t matter, so long as they’re friends.”

Like, it was popular enough for it to be a thing in ww2.
