mioscene replied to your post āhi! i have a question: when did bisexuality begin to include the "or...ā
i don't really have time to research it but at least since the late 80s/early 90s according to this: https://vaspider.tumblr.com/post/168280481991/qwertybard-slurhater-seriously-though
but yeah, don't put too much stock in prefixes. things change. e.g. the prefix of december means ten because it used to be the tenth month, but now it's the twelfth.Ā
itās so funny that you linked that post, because itās the exact one that I was just pissed off about lmao. at least, the addition to the op. because the wholeĀ āthe purple stripe means attraction to non-binary gendersā is.........questionable. thatās not the meaning that the creator of the flag gave. I know things can change, but I did do some searching on that topic, and didnāt find anything where the meaning of the flag changed.
so like,Ā āhistory is importantā is a weird thing to say when youāre spreading false information??? especially when youāre spreading false information to invalidate/put down pansexuality. Iāve seen people posting screenshots of that addition with the caption ābi included non-binary before pan even existedā. and itās just.....fucking annoying. the superior, snide comments about bi existing longer than pan just piss me off. when a label was coined doesnāt fucking mean itās more or less legitimate. like, get over yourselves and stop punishing an entire community for a select group of peopleās misunderstandings. but whatever, thatās not even the topic at hand. sorry for the rant lmao.
so, yeah, I guess thatās been what bi means for a while now, but the whole prefix thing and people still not being aware of the fact that there are more than two genders makes people assume it just means two/men and women.
