"Identifying as bisexual because it’s the one people know = good. Identifying as bisexual because you like the term = good. Identifying as bisexual because you like the flag = good"

I'm confused, is this person actually saying that it's good for you to identify with a sexuality because it's "cool to do so" despite your sexuality not actually being what you identify as? In what way is lying to yourself about your sexuality a good thing?

Correct. The LGBTQ+ movement in its current form encourages people to "identify" as being a member of a demographic group based on whether they feel that they are members of that demographic group. This is pure nonsense, because being a member of a demographic group does not feel like anything. However, impressionable kids and people who already struggle to tell what their emotions and bodily sensations are (e.g. due to having autism spectrum disorder, extensive trauma, etc.) are likely to believe it anyway, not knowing otherwise.

So someone can identify as bi because they like the flag, but not because they are attracted to both sexes...

Yup, welcome to 2020. (Hey, this is like the last day I can say that.)

Pasting the text in case anyone else hates the site layout like me.

You can see how this hellhole of reasoning would confuse a kid struggling with their sexuality, right?

In green, i.e. "good" according to LGBTQ+:

Identifying as bisexual because you’re attracted to people of all genders, but gender still plays a role in your attraction = good

Identifying as bisexual because you’re attracted to people of two or more genders, but not all = good

Identifying as bisexual because you’re attracted to the same gender as you, plus one or more other genders = good

Identifying as bisexual because you’re attracted to some genders, but not all, and gender still plays a role in your attraction = good

Identifying as bisexual because it’s the one people know = good

Identifying as bisexual because you like the term = good

Identifying as bisexual because you like the flag = good

Identifying as pansexual because gender plays no role in your attraction = good

Identifying as pansexual because you’re attracted to all genders = good

Identifying as pansexual because you like the term = good

Identifying as pansexual because you like the flag = good

Identifying as polysexual because you’re attracted to multiple genders, but not all, but otherwise gender plays no role in your attraction = good

Identifying as polysexual because you’re attracted to multiple genders, but not your own = good

Identifying as polysexual because you want to be able to say you’re polysexual and polyamorous = good

Identifying as polysexual because you like the term = good

Identifying as polysexual because you like the flag = good

Identifying as omnisexual because you’re attracted to all genders, but gender still plays a role in your attraction = good

Identifying as omnisexual because you like the term = good

Identifying as omnisexual because you like the flag = good

Identifying as queer because you don’t feel the need to specifically describe your attraction, or because you aren’t sure = good

Identifying as queer because your specific attraction isn’t anyone else’s business = good

Identifying as queer because you like the term = good

Identifying as queer because you like the flag = good

In red, i.e. "bad" according to LGBTQ+:

Identifying as bisexual because “bisexuality means attraction to men and women” = bad, excludes non-binary people

Identifying as pansexual, polysexual, omnisexual, or queer because “bisexuality excludes non-binary people” = bad, it doesn’t

Identifying as bisexual because “other m-spec identities are just trying to be special” = bad, some people want to define their attraction more specifically and that’s ok

Identifying as pansexual because you’re into “hearts, not parts” = bad, parts are not the same as genders, and sexual orientation describes attraction to genders, not genitalia

Identifying as bisexual or polysexual because “pansexuality and/or omnisexuality means attraction to every person” = bad, they describe the capacity to experience attraction to people of any gender

(bolded emphasis mine)

I love this because how in hell can you say that people might have countless genders, and also say that someone is able of feeling attracted to all of them? How can someone say they are attracted to a gender they don't even know?

Imagine if you were guy who never met women in your entire life, never seen a picture of a woman, never even heard about women, but somehow you're like "you know what, I bet there's a different type of people out there, and I know I'm attracted to this specific unknown type of people".

Or it's like saying you literally like all dishes ever made in the world when in real life you only ever ate Italian food.

Tumblr: we're removing all porn, so we can bring out the wholesome and creative content it was meant for

Tumblr without porn:

This shit was happening even before the porn ban

So not only do words no longer have meaning, subscribing to the actual meaning of said words is morally corrupt, got it.

Ps: This list has a way of making everyone other than actual bisexuals bisexual. Fun times.

Exactly. This is why we get kids who are identifying with everything left and right. Everybody wants to be accepted and nobody wants to be a "bad" person.

Identifying as bisexual because “bisexuality means attraction to men and women” = bad, excludes non-binary people

My sexuality doesn't depend on the feelings of others. This includes trans/non-binary lunatics.

excludes non-binary people

Non-binary people are still either men or women.

lunatics

Don't group them up with the rest of us. The relatively normal of us are attempting to at least get better.

"attraction to men and women"

This is one of those times you can overtly re-assert the truth with that b-word:

"attraction to both men and women"

[–]reluctant_commenter[S] 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yup! You're absolutely right.

sexual orientation describes attraction to genders, not genitalia

NO IT FUCKING WELL DOES NOT!!! It describes attraction to biological sex! Based on sex characteristics! Secondary and primary! And what constitutes the latter? GENITALIA FER FUCK'S SAKE

But you know what it DOESN'T describe? Attraction to gender! That's got sweet fuck-all to do with it! And no amount of hectoring and lecturing and threats and canceling and goddamn REEEEEing will overwrite human sexuality to fit your harebrained theories! That just isn't the way it works! So stop trying to BULLY everyone else into pretending otherwise!

How 'bout this: those who believe (ostensibly) that sexual orientation describes attraction to "gender" should put their money (and junk) where their mouth is-- fuck people BASED ON THAT. Their "gender identity". Meaning restrict yourself to those WHO HAVE ONE. Most of us do not; we only have a sex. So we oughtta be OFF THE MENU FOR YOU. Particularly LESBIANS. They're "only" women by sex, not gender! "Transbians" TAKE FUCKING NOTE. The only "lesbians" for you are each other! "Gender" above all yanno! As far as sexual activity is concerned, us "cis" people oughtta be INVISIBLE to you!

Basically, trans sexuality and non-trans sexuality are incompatible; the latter runs on biological sex, the former on "gender". OIL AND WATER. So quit trying to mix 'em!
