I find it hilarious when people say they don't "believe in the LGBTQ+ community".

Okay, you might not support our human rights but there is a big difference between support and believe.

We exist, okay? You might not like that but we aren't ghosts.

It's like me saying that I don't believe in people who move to Australia because why would anyone want to live where God made nice beaches to make up for it being where the devil dumped his pets.

People moving to Australia exist but I'm not going to support anyone deciding to move there! I believe in them but I think it's a bad idea.

Jokes aside, queer people are not something you can believe in.

We're here.

so something I've always known about myself, even back when I thought I was straight, was that I liked long hair on men. I find that specific trait attractive. Recently I was talking with my boyfriend (also bisexual) and he told me he finds the fact that I don't shave attractive, and I got to wondering if there is some kind of pattern here with being multisexual finding specific genderconconforming traits in the opposite gender attractive.

Please choose the option that best represents you. Saying that you don't find specific gnc traits attractive doesn't mean you are NEVER attracted to gnc people, just that there aren't specific gnc traits you find attractive.

I don't quite have the verbiage to come up with a good way to phrase "opposite gender" for nonbinary people, since I know that NB is a massive umbrella term that can mean an infinite amount of things, but I also didn't want to leave enbys off of this poll. So I guess I'm just asking you about gnc traits you find attractive in people in general based on their own genders.

Please do not vote if you are not multisexual (bi, pan, omni, poly, etc).

reblogs appreciated!

+ Good-faith inclusionist flag +

A flag for inclusionists who support good-faith identities; a-spec microlabels, the multisexual spectrum, xenogenders, mspec lesbians/gays, turigirls and lesboys, complicated nonbinary identities, etc.

+ Flag meaning & more under the cut +

· Black - Queer community · Teal - Gay solidarity and inclusion · Green - Aromantic and arospec inclusion · White - Trans* and nonbinary identities · Orange - Lesbian solidarity and inclusion · Purple - Asexual and ace spec inclusion You could define this as "radical inclusionism" but I'm specifically not using that word because of its co-option by those who support harmful identities like transracial, transage and transabled. This flag is NOT for those people.

The Multiple-attraction spectrum/M-spec.

Bi flag, by Michael Page:

According to the author, pink represents same-gender attraction, blue opposite-gender attraction, and purple the intersection and overlap of the two.

Meaning of Bi (—often followed by the type of attraction it refers to: sexual→bisexual, romantic→biromantic, and so on):

The most comprehensive definition of this orientation is attraction to 2 or more genders/to more than one gender.

Bi can overlap with other orientations that exist to refer to attraction to multiple genders, such as Pan and Ply (which you can find below). When going by the above definition, Bi can be seen as an umbrella term containing these: some people refer to this as the Bi+ spectrum, which is synonymous with M-spec.

Other definitions of bi in use are:

attraction to both one's same gender and at least one different gender;

attraction to men and women;

attraction to two genders (that can be any two).

These last three definitions don't apply to all bi people, but are nonetheless used by some.

Things you should know about bi people:

Bi people aren't just "confused", or "can't pick a side".

Coming out as bi shouldn't be assumed by other people to be just "a stepping stone towards identifying as gay".

Bi people are not "half gay, half straight". In fact, some may even have a preference for one gender above the others, and it doesn't make them "less bi".

It is also incorrect to refer to them as "straight" when they have a partner of the opposite gender, and "gay" when of the same gender. Bi people are always bi, no matter who they're in a relationship with at the moment.

Not all bi people are duogamous (=having two partners simultaneously, one male and one female). It doesn't make them less valid as bi.

A common misconception is that bi people are "promiscuous", or will cheat on their partner with someone of a different gender; these are harmful stereotypes. Just because bi people have more choice in partners, doesn't mean they get laid more often than people who only like one gender (and even then, there's nothing bad with having an active sex life). And many straight people cheat as well, but no-one goes around saying "straight people are naturally cheaters"!

Additionally, someone's bi identity intersecting with being polyamorous (being in a relationship involving more than one partner, with knowledge and consent from all people involved) shouldn't be a reason for shaming. Bi polyamorous people aren't responsible for creating or perpetuating these negative stereotypes.

A note on "bi" and non-binary exclusion:

Despite what the root bi- (meaning "two" in Greek) would make it seem like, this label has never necessarily implied a gender binary (the belief that there are only 2 genders, male and female).

In fact, the 1990 Bisexual Manifesto says «Do not assume that bisexuality is binary or duogamous in nature: that we have “two” sides or that we must be involved simultaneously with both genders to be fulfilled human beings. In fact, don’t assume that there are only two genders».

Pan flag, by Jasper Varney:

The pink stands for women, the blue for men, and the yellow for non-binary people.

Meaning of Pan (—often followed by the type of attraction it refers to: sexual→pansexual, romantic→panromantic, and so on):

There are two common definitions in use:

1) attraction to all genders

2) attraction to people regardless of gender. In other words, gender does not play a role in the attraction; rather, there are other elements a pan person's attraction focuses on.

Difference with bi:

Whereas bi means "attraction to 2 or more genders"—which practically means bi people can be attracted to from as little as 2, to as many as all genders—pan always means "attraction to all genders". It is less ambiguous, so some people prefer it over bi to specify this.

Also, following the second definition of pan, it usually excludes the possibility of having a gender preference, since pan people often refer to their attraction as "gender-blind". (Note: that does not mean pan people don't see people for what gender they are; it's only in terms of potential attraction).

Things you should know about pan people:

Pan people aren't attracted to "anything that moves"; pan isn't synonymous with paraphilias. The meaning of the Greek root "pan-", which translates to "all", stands for "all genders", nothing else!

Don't refer to the pan orientation as "attraction to men, women, and trans people". Trans men and women aren't a third gender!

Pan people aren't just "bi but trying to feel special". The choice of the label pan over the label bi is purely a personal preference; they also convey slightly different meanings. Some people even use both simultaneously!

Pan people at large don't think bi people are transphobic. This has been a long debate, and hopefully it's been sorted out for good: "pan" is more explicit about there being more than two genders, so some people feel more comfortable with that, but that doesn't mean they don't understand the history of the bi community and how it has always included non-binary people!

For other common misconceptions, refer to the ones about bi people.

Ply (a.k.a. Poly) flag, by Tomlin:

The pink stands for women, the blue for men, and the green for non-binary people.

Note: "Ply" is usually preferred to "Poly" as the shortened version of Polysexual/polyromantic/etc., because poly is usually short for Polynesian.

Meaning of Ply/Poly:

Attraction to multiple, but not all, genders.

Not to be confused with polyamory.

Difference with bi:

Ply people, like bi people, are capable of being attracted to more than one gender. However, bi people can like up to all genders, while ply people specify that they don't like all genders, only some.

For example, a ply person might be attracted to men and non-binary people, but not to women. Each ply person's range of possible attraction is different, so it is best to ask.

Hopefully this helps clear out the distinction. Shout-out to all my fellow m-specs! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Reminder that gays and lesbians and all same gender attracted people are allowed to have a complex, weird, contradictory and nuanced relationship to their gender identity and nobody's allowed to argue about that. If another gay person doesn't fit your preference move on. Transmasc lesbians and Transfem gays aren't your enemy. Nonbinary lesbians are nonbinary, yes, even if that means bigender, Xenogender, agender, genderfluid. Yes, even if that means they sometimes identify as heteros, bisexuals pansexuals or other multisexuals due to their gender identity. These people are enjoying the full spectrum of the rainbow and you should rather admire them than throw rocks.

Oh, and yes, even if they AREN'T hetero, bi, Pan or other multi orientation where their gender is concerned. If a genderfluid lesbian is most comfortable labeling as a lesbian (regardless of their current gender status) that's none of your fucking business. They're entitled to their preferences the same as you are to yours. "I wouldn't date someone like that, it'd cause me dysphoria/discomfort/ect or make me feel invalidated" okay, that's completely okay. Don't invalidate or cause discomfort or dysphoria on those people then. If two people are comfortable in their identities and care for each other, it's not your place to police their relationship with each other. It's not hurting other gays if two people who identify as gay but have contradicting gender identities love each other. That is a good thing actually? People caring for each other despite or bc of their differences and finding solidarity and comfort in each other regardless of labels, whilst still acknowledging and identifying with them. People can (but don't have to) change their labels when they're dating someone. Wasn't the whole point to break down the barriers of who is and isn't allowed to date each other based on arbitrary standards or gender boundaries. This is about consenting adults who love each other.

People are allowed to exist as being simultaneously mlm and wlw, nonbinary and other gendered people can and do form relationships with heteros and that's okay. Someone can be gay in one aspect and straight in another. Dykes have been boyfriends to girls only for years. Fags have been girlfriends to other boys for years. Transmascs and lesbians have loved and supported each other for years. And yes, dated too.

When you say gender is complex, when you say sexuality and orientation is complex, do you mean it? Or are you just saying that with a side of "When it fits these boundaries obviously"?

I mean it. Questioning people, genderweird and dual people deserve the same respect as any other queer people.

This post includes aces and aros who date and form qprs, and this all also applies to them. It's people's own business what relationships they form in regards to their identities.

Hello, I Made An Updated Version Of The Polysexual Flag!

the pink stripes represent:

queer love

arospec and acespec and polyamorous polysexuals

attraction to many, but not all genders

the white stripe represents:

transgender, genderqueer, nonbinary, and otherwise cisn't polysexuals

and the dusty lavender stripes represent:

defiance against heteronormativity, allonormativity, cisnormativity

defiance against monosexism

solidarity with other multisexuals

lavender and pink were chosen as the primary colors because of their significant history in the queer community and how it represents love respectively; I specifically chose that shade of pink as it was the first stripe of the OG polysexual flag

my reasoning for making a replacement was to make a polysexual flag that is more accessible and has more meaning for our community, as I felt the OG polysexual lacked both of these things as the flags meaning isn't all to different than the pansexual flag + it's design causes many people including myself eyestrain

I hope you all like it!

i love following blogs abt bisexuality and then unfollowing when it turns out to be nothing but fighting pansexuals. like im not opposed to discussion regarding labels, but jesus fucking christ u can be critical of something and still prioritize a sense of solidarity between all multisexuals, even if u find their personal label problematic. also u can be critical in a way that doesnt make other multisexuals into Enemies and Villains

also i keep following blogs abt anarchism and getting nothing but anarchism vs communism slapfights instead of like. Actual sociopolitical theory or constructive discussion. do other anarchists on the interwebs know that u can be anti-authoritarian and still recognize the overlap and influence of communist theory within ur political ideology?? and the prioritization of anti-capitalist & anti-imperialist education for the repressed working class?? like bro if u wanna fight authoritarianism, the capitalist oligarchy is right there. u dont gotta worry abt some tankies on twitter, theyre never gonna resurrect mao no matter what

#maybe its just bc marx was so instrumental to my own political awakening but #i wish nuance was allowed on the internet ya kno #i HAVE also reblogged posts critical of pansexuality before and i probably will again #but that doesnt mean im operating on a black and white worldview #and while i enjoy deconstructing certain concepts and critiquing them im not out for blood #there are spaces between 'everything is sacred and above examination'#and 'everyone is evil and bad except my circlejerk'

In our server, we have a group set aside for solidarity between our bi, pan, and poly members, and for us we made this dumb little flag. It’s the yellow of the main pan flag, representing how much we love our pansexual friends; the purple of the main bi flag, representing how much we love our bisexual friends; and the green of the main poly flag, representing how much we love our polysexual friends. The shared, remembered blue and pink stripes of each of these respective flags links us together behind-the-scenes.

One of our members, @vanhelsingsimp, made this solidarity sparkling heart emoji based on this flag. I thought it was cute, so here it is.

This flag was originally for a small group of a small server, including the three orientations represented among the people there. But since I wanted to share it for, well, anyone who might like it, I went ahead and added the dark violet stripe of the main omnisexual flag, representing solidarity with the wider omnisexual community, and white stripe of the main multisexual flag, representing both solidarity specifically with the wider multisexual community as well as the inclusion of rarer mspec identities in our community. I rearranged the colors a bit to help with harmony, but I’m new at this, so you might want to do your own versions.

Again, this is a couple of flags not meant to replace anything or change anything. But mspec solidarity is something that means a lot to us, and if it means a lot to you, too, well, here’s two of our mspec solidarity flags. We’re glad to have you here. We’re better together.

#queer things #mspec solidarity #I’ve sure plenty of ppl have done this before and likely done it better but #this is what we use in our server #and I wanted to share #pride flag
