aroace characters are valuable. they aren’t boring. they are important queer rep. their stories are important. they are groundbreaking. they aren’t any less than other queer characters. they don’t deserve to be erased.
That is all <3
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......
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.
don't believe the lies that other LGBTQ people are your enemy
LOKI APPRECIATION WEEK ⤷Day 6: Favorite Quote
Let me just make one thing clear to y'all: I am still bisexual, I'm still queer, even if I'm dating a man. I still am allowed in queer spaces cause they're my spaces just as much as they're any other queer person's. Insisting on the opposite is straight up radfem rhetoric.
I wanted to give a different perspective on Loki's Genderfluid and Bisexual/Pansexual that I've not seen mentioned. It's my perspective and I'm not saying one is better than the other. We all see and view things differently, and that is ok. I just want to share some thoughts on how it affects me.
I'm Genderfluid and Bisexual/Pansexual. I generally outwardly present as a woman, regardless how I feel, majority of the time. It is usually just easier and what I'm used too. Regardless of how I present or look on the outside, doesn't necessarily show what I am. I feel I'm in a constant state of flux. Think of it like water in a river constantly moving. Just because I present as woman, doesn't make my Genderfluid any less valid. I'm just me always.
It is the same with being Bisexual/Pansexual. No matter who I am in a relationship with or that the majority of who I have dated, I'm still Bisexual/Pansexual. I know I'm attracted to a person regardless of their gender. Just because I might be with a man, doesn't make it any less valid.
Now taking these two thoughts, this is one of the several reasons I'm drawn to Loki. He tends to present as a man most of the time. He is always himself regardless of what you see. He doesn't have to show or prove his Genderfluid to anyone. Loki is just Loki always. Also, Loki doesn't have to be with another man to prove he is Bisexual/Pansexual.
I'm frankly glad they didn't have Loki change into Lady Loki and I'm glad they tried to do a more outward here is a variant. I relate to Loki just being himself regardless of what is seen on the outside. I'm glad they even showed the small amount as they did, it was huge to me. It makes me feel seen that I can present as a woman and be Bisexual/Pansexual. That no matter what, I'm these things and there are others who are the same way.
No one is required to live up to anyone's labels, standards and expectations of their own being.
I would never ask someone to prove they are Genderfluid because it has been x-amount of time they outwardly present in a certain way. If someone tells me they are Genderfluid or any other gender, I'm like cool and accept it. I don't need a big production of it to make it true to me, them stating it is enough.
This same way of thinking I apply to anything, gender, sexual orientation, or any label someone uses to describe themselves. Someone tells me and I just accept it. I feel great that they would like to describe themselves to me with how they see themselves so I can understand them better.
So, yeah just some thoughts and acceptance I felt when watching Loki. 💚
can you reblog this if you like six of crows and are also a part of the lgbtq+ community?
doing an experiment
‘A bit of both’
Had to do a Loki version, so now there’s a matching set. Kinda want to make these into stickers or something.
The colours in the ref weren’t quite what I wanted to match the Sylvie one, so have played around with this a bit more!
Still screaming about the finale. Come yell with me at @beskarsoshiny if you fancy.
I know a lot of people are gonna disagree with me and that’s fine. Butttttt I don’t think Loki and Sylvie are romantic. People are freaking out about it and getting so mad but it seems platonic to me? Especially if they are going the whole “Loki loving himself/finally having someone who understands him” route. Idk Loki touched her shoulders and y’all freaked. I’m withholding my judgement till the last ep. Also….news flash, men and women are able to be in close relationships and even *gasp* touch without it being romantic. I wouldn’t even care but the amount of hate and vitriol in the fandom for something that hasn’t even been confirmed in show is kinda pissing me off. IT’S JUST A SHOW. Please calm down. If you don’t like it that’s fine but attacking others in the fandom and the showrunners isn’t it.
Also even it they do turn out to be romantic, life will go on??? It’s not that deep y’all. You don’t have to like it. It’s 1000% valid if you don’t. But pls lets practice kindness in the fandom and let each faction exist in peace. At the end of the day it really is just a show.
Reblogging this for an addition. I’ve been seeing people start shipping President Loki and Loki together and not getting any blowback at all. Yet Sylvie/Loki is getting bombarded with hate. Don’t get me wrong, ship and let ship. I’m just begging for some fandom self awareness cause tbh it’s more than a little misogynistic
“Obviously ‘bihet’ offends a lot of bisexuals, so we need to come up with a better term for bisexuals in m/f relationships.”
How about… and hear me out… this may sound crazy…. but you… continue to call us bisexual… because (and I realize this gets confusing for you people so read this next part slowly) it turns out we continue to be bisexual regardless of who we’re dating.
