So super special gender flags as balls is the stupidest format I’ve ever seen for a comic.

Does the word "pansexual" even mean anything other than bisexual...?

It's supposed to be more inclusive of special gender uwu's, intersex, and trans people... but internet folk have been arguing about it for years now with no clear winner.

I don't even know what's going on. Whether bisexual has been redefined, whether pansexual is woke or phobic, it's all so confusing. But it is also amusing to watch the TRAs argue

Kinda, in that I've seen it defined as "attraction to all genders" (biological sex being irrelevant... lol). Which sure is something other than "bisexual"! Cuz then it's not even a sexual orientation. Must be in a completely different category. "Genderual orientations", I guess? Whatever the hell THAT is. Shouldn't it really be "pangenderual"? I mean, sure, that sounds hella dumb... but it IS, after all! So that's more of a feature than a bug.

If used in this way, I think it's actually a positive-- frees us bisexuals from having to pretend that what we wanna fuck is "gender identity". Nope! Ya got all those "pan" people for that! We just respond to boring ol' bio-sex, sorry! So go have fun with your make-believe "gender"-based attraction and leave us the hell alone!

Not really. So far I haven't seen a definition of pansexual that makes sense. It has either been defined as bi with no preference (which is really just a particular point on the bi spectrum, not something new), "Hearts not parts" (e.g. appropiating the original bi definition, also biphobia by supposing bisexuals don't care about personality), including transgender people (which transgender people I've seen find transphobic as it others them from their gender) or including of non-binary people.

one of my closest friends calls herself a bisexual, but she admits she's more of a pansexual when discussing this specifically. She says it's not a moral thing, she doesn’t think she’s a good person because she doesn't care about other's bodies but only their minds, she's just potentially attracted to any kind of people, '''cis''', trans, nb, etc, as long as she finds them good looking

Identity politics are so goddamn exhausting.

It really is exhausting.

Just to paint a picture, I worked at a TQ+ job with my main boss being an arrogant trans male and pretty much the only "girly" thing about him was that he liked the colour pink and...anime... it's always anime with these people. He still sounded very much like a man and had long dirty hippy hair.

My former TQ+ coworkers also tried hard for "oppression points" and talked behind other's backs, made excuses for their own laziness, and made it seem like they had it harder in life than anyone else LOL. They need to suck it up.

It's always excuses because of how they "identify" and it's not their fault. Jesus.

As a bi, very mad that Battleaxes have co-opted such a cool weapon (and sexuality!) and are using it to perpetuate such shitty points of view :(

Honestly it's really interesting to see their bigotry in action, because they're so up front about it. This person is so sad that bisexuals dare point out that the cool new 'progressive' sexuality is redundant and problematic. By inventing pan they effectively admit that transwomen aren't women and transmen aren't men. Because if they were, then a person who's into all trans people could just call themselves bi. Why invent a new sexuality that includes trans people if we're meant to see them as the sex they're impersonating in every situation? Why, if not to paint bisexuals as the villain for defining our sexuality using the terms 'men and women' and 'both sexes'? They've conceded one of the cornerstones of gender theory (TWAW & TMAM) JUST to throw bisexuals under the bus and make themselves look good with this newer, 'more inclusive' sexuality.

That's not even touching on the biphobia of how pan 'cares about personality' implying the rest of us don't...

Dr Seuss wrote a children's book on this:

https://seuss.fandom.com/wiki/The_Sneetches

Since we've had 14 years of iPhone now, I'm going to take a wild guess and say the kids on that subreddit missed out on having that book read to them.

I remember that one!!! A classic :) man you're probably right, that's sad to think many teens may have missed out on Dr. Seuss...

What's the bottom ball?

I think it is a flag they made to represent "battleaxe bis" which means bisexuals who think "pansexual" is BS. They actually have their own subreddit.

They really think that they aren't the ones harassing people for being themselves, huh...

that battleaxe bi flag has the prettiest colours of any lgbtsdhsfuhwkr flags I've seen so far!
