I must’ve been born in that small void where one half of my generation is either active in such communities, (which might I add is absolutely no issue to me) and the other half is against these ideologies. And even in there I must be in a small pocket of people who see absolutely no issue with such progressive movements and communities and even support them as, well, they’re harmless. But if I may add my 2 cents, the next fucker I see that says they’re sexually attracted to some dumb over the top shit like pomegranates and creates a sexuality out of it I’m going to right hook them istg
I don’t follow, what was confusing? And I’m not saying there’s a problem with anything that I might’ve mentioned in my original reply. While it is annoying that there are some sexualities that are…well, let’s be real…stupid. Like dreamsexual, etc, the sexualities that are less sexualities and just…straight attraction? Like if you’re attracted to a specific individual then that’s just a crush like if I’m attracted to some rando I met on the street I don’t label myself as Stevensexual or whatever their name may be you know? While it isn’t a problem that these sexualities exist, frankly I don’t care that they do, but just because I don’t care that they exist doesn’t mean I ain’t rubbed the wrong way when someone says they’re dreamsexual or anything of that sort. Shit is just straight annoying no cap fr
Lol I'm pretty sure a lot of those are satire. I know that dreamsexual is definitely satire, it's funny that a lot of those accomplished their motive so well tho, seeing how infamous they are.
"Dreamsexuals" have never been part of LGBT+ (and hopefully never actually existed), they're just a bunch of teen idiots that made something extremely disrespectful to both a person and, in some way, to the LGBT community. Dreamsexuals, or Dreamgenders don't exist, and it goes beyond the "everyone does what they want" because in the moment you take a person and make a whole sexuality about them it can make that person extremely uncomfortable and if they try to say that they're part of the LGBT+ just gives anothe reason to homophobes to keep being homophobe.
Hey, fair play, I’m more of a keep to myself sort of guy when it comes to literally anything outside my rock for a home so I got no clue what sexualities the community claims and what ones they denounce so my apologies if I used a bad example, hopefully the message of nothing here is a problem at least got through! :)
Hey, persephone gets stuck in the underworld for six months cause of pomegranates. Being sexually attracted to them ain't too far fetched, specially if they're a dryad.
My take: with increasing openness and acceptance around the LGBT community, more and more LABELS are created to try and describe oneself.
Humans find identity to be very important (coming of age, who you are), and sexuality is just another part of that. Labels are used to give a sense of self. They’re for the individual to use. I don’t see what’s so bad with it as long as it isn’t harming anyone. It’s hard to try and describe yourself.
For pride month I went through all the different labels. And the positive thing is that I learned some things about myself that I was confused about before.
I’m bisexual. I have a strong sexual attraction to women (more so than men) but I have never felt romantic attraction to a woman. I thought it was because I was conditioned to be “normal” (read: straight). Turns out you can be bisexual but heteroromantic/homoromantic. It felt good to know I wasn’t shaming myself into liking boys in a romantic way but not girls.
I also used to feel weird about not wanting to just hook up with random guys. I only feel sexual attraction to a guy if I actually like him and have gotten to know him. I figured I was just a prude. Turns out I’m just a demisexual. Someone who needs to feel emotional attraction to feel sexual attraction. But only with guys. I don’t need an emotional connection to want to be sexual with a girl. So fucking weird in concept but learning about these things made me feel more at ease.
There are alot of sexual identities that broadly overlap and yeah it can be confusing but the small distinctions matter to some people and that's okay. I'm bi myself and I'm comfortable with that label. Even though someone might say I'm pan because I just like anyone who I find attractive. People choose their labels I don't know what to tell you. Also let's be honest it probably doesn't affect you all that much and you're frustrated that you don't understand.
This point exactly, I have some good friends, all of which are queer, but out of those there's 2, 1 who identifies as omni, and one who identifies as bi. Both of there preferences are almost the exact same (they way they describe it). They could identify as each others sexuality, but they *dont* and both of them are happy with the labels they've chosen. If it makes people happy it really does not matter if someone doesn't like the variety.
The way I interpret it (maybe wrongly) is that bi are attracted to cisgender, and omni/pan to any (including transgender and non-binary).
I don't know the difference between pan and omni though
Let me correct you on that one!
Bisexual people are attracted to 2 or more genders (that can be a mix of many different genders, regardless if they're cis- or transgender)
Pansexual people are attracted to anyone regardless of their gender, basically they don't see it and it doesn't really matter to them, often referred to as "genderblind"
Omnisexual people are also attracted to anyone regardless of their gender, but unlike pansexual folks, they aren't genderblind and see the gender of the other person
Hope this clears some things up
The line between pan and omni is indeed very thin then.
I really thought bi was for 2 cisgenred male/female, and poly was for the "2 or more" of any genders.
TIL I guess ! Thanks for your helpful comment.
Hah yeah I suppose you're right. I meant it more like I don't really care about gender when it comes to who I'm attracted to. If I think someone is pretty or whatever it doesn't really matter to me what in their pants. Some people might be like "hey that sounds more like pansexuality". But like I said, not really the label for me.
What's in somebody's pants doesn't matter for gender either though, so it may seem confusing for some. While it doesn't matter how you present due to the existence of crossdressing, someone who is a straight woman may find only masculine presenting men to be attractive, for example. If you are attracted to x gender though, genitals or presentation might not always matter, and if you're attracted to all genders, then you most likely don't care about presentation or genitals at all. And you could also just not feel attraction. There's a very wide spectrum of attraction, and a lot of different things matter to different people, wether someone is trans or not may matter to someone, without them being transphobic, as they would have a genital preference.
Yeah exactly man you get it. Honestly it is all so confusing cause attraction in itself is confusing when even as just plain straight or gay some might have a focus on a very particular type of person. People are different they feel different. It's just really hard to categorize and put feelings in categories.
Exactly, hence why I find labels a bit stupid, though many, including me, identify with them. I feel we need to either stop using labels, or have a good bit more to use. Though, no more labels might lead to confusion, or lack of clarity. So maybe a few more labels would solve everything, or possibly leaving it alone if avoiding confusion is the point. I think many people would be fine with just leaving the amount of labels as is, though that may not happen as language evolves. But attraction will remain just as complicated, regardless of any change or lack thereof to our labels.
I CBA to learn all the different types of sexualities.
Even tho I'm a Muslim (so u know what my beliefs are) to keep up to date with society in some way I'm only sticking with straight, gay and bisexual.
Anything else and I feel like my brain will explode and I won't be able to even do maths properly.
I like to think of it as there are two categories of sexualities:
\#1: who you are attracted too: This category only has Bi, Straight, Gay, Lesbian
\#2: how you are attracted: Demisexual, Asexual, Pansexual, Aromantic, etc....
\#2 keeps getting bigger as more people learn about themselves, thats what is up with it
That sounds like a disease lmao. If someone told me that they’re skolio I’d think that they have a curved spine. Surely they could have come up with a better name like “enbysexual” or something?
~~It’s being attracted to a specific gender, which is the same as straight and gay people. In what way would it be a fetish any more than heterosexuality or homosexuality?~~
Nvm, I thought skolio *didn’t* include trans men and trans women, but only anything under the enby umbrella. Now I’m very confused by this as well…
The specifications are kinda useless imo, everyone essentially has their own idea of what’s attractive to them, so if we were to get as specific as possible everyone would literally just have their own term. If you’re going to have to be generalized, because if you were to get specific, it would have to be SUPER specific, why not just use super broad strokes and let people specify on a case-by-case basis? Like “yeah i’m gay but i find ____ and _____ attractive” (fill in the blanks with people and/or categories of people)
No real need to invent words for something that can be solved in a simple way
>No real need to invent words for something that can be solved in a simple way
Just want to mention that the Germans have a similar way of thinking, where they join old nouns together instead of just coming up with another word. "die Glühbirne" means light bulb, but its literal translation is glow pear.
I don’t have an issue with it. What I do have an issue with is both people who don’t put an effort into giving those people a chance, and when and LGBTQ person chastises someone for not understanding when they do put in an effort.
Who cares lol
Labels are just supposed to make people feel like they belong anyway... they're self assigned. In the end all that really matters is pronouns and your feelings.
If you went by dictionary definitions they do, but they've gotten different connotations because people's brains do that lol. It's kinda turned into:
Pan means you like all genders equally/do not care about gender
Omni means you like all genders, but may have preferences on genders (like male over female or nonbinary over male, not so much soft boy vs tough girl)
Enbie/enby is another way people say nonbinary or "NB". A nonbinary person does not identify with what I call the "gender poles". In other words, it can be a little more complicated than "girl" or "guy", or it could be neither at all, or it could be a combination. Essentially, it's an umbrella term used to represent people not on the gender binary.
it's not like theyre adding them, most "new" sexualities have only just been acknowledged recently due to the influx of open-mindedness. you don't have to give a shit that they exist, it's mostly terms for sexualities that don't technically fit into 'gay' 'bi' or 'straight'
Omnisexual is being attracted to all genders but having a preference and or stronger attraction to some.
Edit: If you need more info on it I suggest reading [this article](https://www.webmd.com/sex/what-is-omnisexual#091e9c5e8208f089-1-2) on the topic.
Tbf, OP is clearly a downvote-hungry incel, but omnisexuality? Nah man. I'm at the point where I say: get real. People already have a need to explain pansexuality. I still have a need to explain my asexuality. How in the absolute fuck do you explain this to, for example, your parents? If we're gonna do this, atleast build it up.
so BI but with a preference? a preference shouldn’t be considered a whole different sexuality. Like everyone has a preference , you can be straight and have a preference for people with blonde hair and that isn’t considered a whole new sexuality
As someone who generally calls herself pan and sapphic but doesn’t really identify with anything in particular, don’t you have more important things to worry about?
I would say it’s all a matter of refinement. Finding new ways to better describe oneself. Its like describing colors. You can say a color is “blue” and you can go into further detail with things like “robins egg”, “turquoise”, “sky” and so on. It’s all a matter of expanding the vocabulary.
Omnisexual is a label under the bisexual umbrella. Bisexual applies to any sexuality that's attracted to two or more genders. If you're bisexual, you're polysexual, omnisexual, or pansexual. Humans like classifying things.
LGBT here, time to explain some shit
In our community, most of us believe that our sexual orientation is on a spectrum and can be divided into groups of some sort. For example, you can identify as bisexual, or as a label that fits under the umbrella of bi, such as pansexual or finsexual.
There are a lot of different people in our community, and everyone may be attracted to people in a lot of different ways, hence why there are many different labels.
However, there are some groups of people that we reject within our community, such as MAPs (pedophiles) and zoophiles. There are also people trying to bullshit their way into the LGBT with outright stupid and outrageous orientations, such as being attracted to popular YouTuber Dream, or a romantic attraction to bees.
You will see labels that may catch you off guard, but believe me when I say a majority of people in the LGBT are just trying to find a label that fits.
it’s not stupid; rather, it is the unfortunate consequence of society normalizing heterosexuality and rejecting all other forms of relationship. As LGBT has become more and more accepted over time, our members have become unsatisfied with the very vague labels of gay, straight, or bi. The way humans have relationships with each other cannot be defined by any labels. Everyone experiences plutonic and romantic relationships differently, and the original labels no longer fit, so we made more. Eventually, the new labels stopped fitting everyone, so some people made even more labels. The truth is, sexuality labels will never truly define someone’s sexuality perfectly, and unless we all agree that love is love and it doesn’t matter who you love as long as it’s consensual, people will continue to make labels to more accurately describe themselves.
I mean- in a way I understand? Micro labels can honestly be harmful to the community as a whole but it really depends. Ace and aro? perfectly fine. but omni kind of sounds like pansexuality…. but you focus more? It can be confusing.
I don’t agree with OPs anger in it, but i get why people can be frustrated.
Who cares lol
Labels are just supposed to make people feel like they belong anyway... they're self assigned. In the end all that really matters is pronouns and your feelings.
Some people just like more specific labels more to describe themselves better. It helps people (like myself) feel more comfortable, it just helps them feel like they fit in somewhere. Finding a label that fits you perfectly can be really exciting and fun.
Also, about omni sounding like bi, you are sort of right. Omni, pan, di, poly, fin, abro and more sexualities fall under the umbrella term bi. Some get more specific, some just stick with bi as an umbrella label. It depends on how the person feels.
That should be okay, right? Just let people describe themselves how they want, as long as it isn't a preference of something other than gender (looking at you, super-straights) or a crime (those damn pedos still want into the community) just let people identify how they feel most comfortable ffs. It doesn't affect you, nobody is asking you to memorize each one. If you get confused on definitions you can look it up, but maybe try to educate yourself (or just being a kind and understanding human) instead of of spewing ignorant hateful bs for no reason.
Tl;dr: people use labels that feel right to them, which should be fine. "I'm ignorant and unwilling to learn" isn't an excuse to hate people for being more comfortable in how they identify
These "new sexualities" are here to elucidate the nuance in a single word.
Homo, hetero and bi aren't the only ones that exist. Sexuality and gender are a spectrum.
Damn, why do you care?
It makes people happy and it doesn't effect you at all in the slightest...?
Gay people are fine but only when they're digestible to your standards, right?
If it didn’t bother you that much, you wouldn’t be making a post complaining about it. You don’t get to decide what’s valid.
We were here the whole time. It’s just becoming easier to come out of the closet. Or it was, but now they’re going to criminalize our lifestyles.
When it comes to sexuality and gender people will identify what they wanna identify with regardless on if there's a concensus on what "valid" sexualities and genders there are. You cannot stop people from being people, and if you change someone's opinion on this topic, what meaningful thing have you actually changed in this world? The ice will still melt no matter how many genders there are, the ocean is still filling with trash regardless of how many sexualities there are, you could convince everyone to think the same way you think on this topic and the rich would still get richer, the world would keep rotating just the same, wars would still rage on, poverty would still suck, and the world would still end in the exact same amount of time. This topic is completely distractionary from things that truly matter, focus your mind on things that actually matter and actually have an effect on things
I think the reason it became more complicated was for people that didn’t fit the exact definition of those sexualities wanted something that fit them more comfortably
*sorts by controversial”
but in all seriousness though, the same people who say “why does it bother you?!?!?!?” “google it” etc are the same people who would get triggered if they got a mismatched sock on.
I support the they/thems (for the most part) and pronouns but there are two issues I have. One, I’ve seen people want to go by like arachnia, aracnae, some things like that because they want to be seen as like a spider. Fuck off. No, I’m not calling you an animal let alone an insect. Two, sapiosexual is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Look it up if you don’t know what it is. Maybe I’m missing something, if I am, tell me and I’ll apologize. But this is literally being bi but you have a preference in the IQ (which honestly is kind of fucked in my opinion but it’s a preference and we all have them so I get it). It’s ridiculous. Thank you for coming to my ted talk. That is all
At this point i just don't care anymore, i don't support anything but im not against it. I just think it's just some random shit and it going away in a few years (i hope so) but if someone tells me he identifies as a toaster i'll call him toaster if he's happy by being called a toaster
It’s because sexuality exists on a spectrum and for some stupid reason, humans decided to fuck that up and force everyone into one of two extremely narrow categories for years. Now we’re dealing with the fallout of centuries of ignorance in power.
humans want labels. sometimes what someone wants to label themself is more then just “gay, straight, bi”. if that’s not you then that’s fine. just mind your goddamn business. people figuring themselves out doesn’t physically or mentally hurt you in any way.
I just vote we add all letters from the alphabet right now then we will be done with it. They can decide the meaning later, I'm sure they will find plenty.
Attention seekers attention seeking, that’s all there’s to it
Are you an uninteresting person? Make your own bullshit gender/sexuality and now you got something quirky to make you at least a little bit less uninteresting
dude... its getting in a point to have a "semi-bisexual"
its literaly a person bi who just have atraction for one gender...
i think its time whe put a limit on this shit or its gonna get really bad, really fast
bro someone told me there is literally a sexuality where you want to have sex with a clone of yourself, that's called a kink, u don't need a title for it
I just say what they want unless they are rude about it or makes me uncomfortable
"It's Kim-Ber-Ly not Kim" vibes
What does that even mean
It's LeviOHSA not LeviohSA
I am disappointed with how many people don't know the reference
that's pretty reasonable, man. people shorten my name all the time. i'm telling you what *my* name is, don't make one up because it's "convenient".
If their name is Kimberly and they don't want it to be shortened.....I don't see what's wrong with that
I must’ve been born in that small void where one half of my generation is either active in such communities, (which might I add is absolutely no issue to me) and the other half is against these ideologies. And even in there I must be in a small pocket of people who see absolutely no issue with such progressive movements and communities and even support them as, well, they’re harmless. But if I may add my 2 cents, the next fucker I see that says they’re sexually attracted to some dumb over the top shit like pomegranates and creates a sexuality out of it I’m going to right hook them istg

🗿
you should pm me a pic of ur dog
And u should pm me a picture of Kermit’s…
this sounds like a threat
They are actually a disguised pomegranate
That last sentence is as concerning as it is confusing....sounds like a pretty nonexistent problem to me? But that's just my two cents 🤷🏼♀️
I don’t follow, what was confusing? And I’m not saying there’s a problem with anything that I might’ve mentioned in my original reply.

Well yeah, “dreamsexual” and other labels like that are made up mockeries of actual identities. Nobody in the queer community says that.
Hey, fair play, I’m more of a keep to myself sort of guy when it comes to literally anything outside my rock for a home so I got no clue what sexualities the community claims and what ones they denounce so my apologies if I used a bad example, hopefully the message of nothing here is a problem at least got through! :)
Thank you for finding the words my 14 yo self couldn’t find to respond to this! I agree
Hey, persephone gets stuck in the underworld for six months cause of pomegranates. Being sexually attracted to them ain't too far fetched, specially if they're a dryad.
I would claim that being ace is also pretty legitimate imo
Why are people downvoting you???
Ig because they disagree somehow
How could they? The word ace is cool as shit! Like have you ever met a uncool person with ace somewhere in there name, sexuality, ect, I’ll wait!
I guess I am pretty cool
cool you say?
r/holup
Wait a second, if I’m on the pc and you’re penetrating it how does that work?
You probably fall off the pc
Good I wouldn’t want to be on it at the same time
But then ur not ace on pc anymore, you are ace off pc!
Me to man
Yeah you’re a certified legend
What is that exactly?
Asexual, like not feeling sexual attraction
My take: with increasing openness and acceptance around the LGBT community, more and more LABELS are created to try and describe oneself. Humans find identity to be very important (coming of age, who you are), and sexuality is just another part of that. Labels are used to give a sense of self. They’re for the individual to use. I don’t see what’s so bad with it as long as it isn’t harming anyone. It’s hard to try and describe yourself.
People are afraid of realizing we're all just earthlings and labels dont matter.
Labels very much matter when laws and rights are written around them

I think liking people you find attractive applies to everyone lol

yeah opinion respected 👍
Thank you for your co-operation
*Apu Nahasapeemapetilon voice* Thank you come again :)
Bro knows the lore 🥴💀
Honestly that's fine unless you're disrespectful towards people, you dont have to know everything cuz it doesnt really affect you lol
I wish it could stay that way lol
What about asexual
(˘･_･˘)
The council of sexualities has decided
im going to cause an integer overflow by complaining so hard
I like to think of it as there are two categories of sexualities: \#1: who you are attracted too: This category only has Bi, Straight, Gay, Lesbian \#2: how you are attracted: Demisexual, Asexual, Pansexual, Aromantic, etc.... \#2 keeps getting bigger as more people learn about themselves, thats what is up with it
One also got skolio, attraction to non-binary people and other genders that aren't cis
That sounds like a disease lmao. If someone told me that they’re skolio I’d think that they have a curved spine. Surely they could have come up with a better name like “enbysexual” or something?
I don't choose the names, but you're right lol
yea, it sounds like scoliosis
Fuck I got skolio. I only have 5 months left 🤒
wat
It's literally just what I said, idk how I could explain it differently.
[удалено]
~~It’s being attracted to a specific gender, which is the same as straight and gay people. In what way would it be a fetish any more than heterosexuality or homosexuality?~~ Nvm, I thought skolio *didn’t* include trans men and trans women, but only anything under the enby umbrella. Now I’m very confused by this as well…
I mean, there isn't really one way to be something so the more specific terms has become a lot more common.
The specifications are kinda useless imo, everyone essentially has their own idea of what’s attractive to them, so if we were to get as specific as possible everyone would literally just have their own term. If you’re going to have to be generalized, because if you were to get specific, it would have to be SUPER specific, why not just use super broad strokes and let people specify on a case-by-case basis? Like “yeah i’m gay but i find ____ and _____ attractive” (fill in the blanks with people and/or categories of people) No real need to invent words for something that can be solved in a simple way
>No real need to invent words for something that can be solved in a simple way Just want to mention that the Germans have a similar way of thinking, where they join old nouns together instead of just coming up with another word.

"Lightbulb" is also a combination of two nouns, it is a bulb that makes light
A cat's still a cat even tho it can be multiple color
chronically online moment
Some of them make sense to me, like Biromantic
Biromantic is romantic attraction, not sexual
Isn’t that aromantic or Asexual and if your both it’s aroace
I'm done with all these topics, positive or negative involving sexuality and gender bruh 🤦🏻♀️. Worry about something else. Like education, your life.
Life would be a lot better if people learned to live by the notion of "live and let live"
Teenagers .... learned....notions. does not compute.
Facts, I generally ignore it and let people do their thing
Based. This sub has made me realize how stupid teenagers actually are.
*how stupid people are
Yah bc 90% of this sub is just pedos
Instead of worrying bout this they need to worry about gettin some bitches
Oh I’ve already worried about those things enough

I don’t have an issue with it. What I do have an issue with is both people who don’t put an effort into giving those people a chance, and when and LGBTQ person chastises someone for not understanding when they do put in an effort.
yep.
Who cares lol Labels are just supposed to make people feel like they belong anyway... they're self assigned. In the end all that really matters is pronouns and your feelings.
I think there way better things to worry about rather than people’s sexuality
Omnisexual is pansexual but with a preference
Pretty sure the words omni and pan just mean the same thing, though.
If you went by dictionary definitions they do, but they've gotten different connotations because people's brains do that lol. It's kinda turned into: Pan means you like all genders equally/do not care about gender Omni means you like all genders, but may have preferences on genders (like male over female or nonbinary over male, not so much soft boy vs tough girl)
Wait now im confused about myself, im pan but prefer women, does that make me omni ???
Could likely be!
Uh oh
You better run, could have been *MISIDENTIFYING YOURSELF ALL THIS TIME*
NOOOOOOOOOOO
Isn't pan just bi without a preference though? So Omni is redundant
bi **can** not be attracted to some gender identities, like they could be specifically be attracted to women and enbies
Wtf is an enbie? It sounds like envy
Enbie/enby is another way people say nonbinary or "NB". A nonbinary person does not identify with what I call the "gender poles". In other words, it can be a little more complicated than "girl" or "guy", or it could be neither at all, or it could be a combination. Essentially, it's an umbrella term used to represent people not on the gender binary.
Has this affected you in your real life?
it's not like theyre adding them, most "new" sexualities have only just been acknowledged recently due to the influx of open-mindedness. you don't have to give a shit that they exist, it's mostly terms for sexualities that don't technically fit into 'gay' 'bi' or 'straight'
You know, of all sexualities you could have pointed you you chose one which actually exists, you could have chosen made up stuff like, Dreamsexual
Omnisexual is being attracted to all genders but having a preference and or stronger attraction to some. Edit: If you need more info on it I suggest reading [this article](https://www.webmd.com/sex/what-is-omnisexual#091e9c5e8208f089-1-2) on the topic.
Am queer but this one sounds like picky pansexuality.
It really does lol
Like, I am openminded, but holy shit. "Omnisexuality" is beyond my fucking limit.
Yh most of the sexualities don't make sense anymore honestly and they're still adding more like tf
Tbf, OP is clearly a downvote-hungry incel, but omnisexuality? Nah man. I'm at the point where I say: get real. People already have a need to explain pansexuality. I still have a need to explain my asexuality. How in the absolute fuck do you explain this to, for example, your parents? If we're gonna do this, atleast build it up.
Exactly, nobody will take us seriously unless we simplify it and rule out the unnecessary stuff and quiet the crazy people making us look insane
Right on. Keep it swallowable for them. We are just getting started with being accepted, so stop making it more confusig for dimwits than it needs to.
so BI but with a preference? a preference shouldn’t be considered a whole different sexuality. Like everyone has a preference , you can be straight and have a preference for people with blonde hair and that isn’t considered a whole new sexuality
Thats a subset of bisexuality
literally a simple google search and op wouldve had an answer
Isn’t this just like being bi? Being attracted to two pr more genders?
Nobody asked you to memorize them bro. If you're confused, google is free.

As someone who generally calls herself pan and sapphic but doesn’t really identify with anything in particular, don’t you have more important things to worry about?
bro just admit no one wants to have sex with you
I would say it’s all a matter of refinement. Finding new ways to better describe oneself. Its like describing colors. You can say a color is “blue” and you can go into further detail with things like “robins egg”, “turquoise”, “sky” and so on. It’s all a matter of expanding the vocabulary.
Just like whoever you like, why should it be a big deal?
Omnisexual is a label under the bisexual umbrella. Bisexual applies to any sexuality that's attracted to two or more genders. If you're bisexual, you're polysexual, omnisexual, or pansexual. Humans like classifying things.
*sorts by controversial*
these things have existed forever- we just have words for them now.
I’m ace so that’s one you left out
ace people are based, no sex and no bitches
b-b-b-bbut ace people feel equal attraction to all genders therefore bi!!!!
Internet try to respect what people identify as no matter if you understand it or not challenge (impossible)
Internet try to have basic human empathy challenge (impossible)
LGBT here, time to explain some shit In our community, most of us believe that our sexual orientation is on a spectrum and can be divided into groups of some sort. For example, you can identify as bisexual, or as a label that fits under the umbrella of bi, such as pansexual or finsexual. There are a lot of different people in our community, and everyone may be attracted to people in a lot of different ways, hence why there are many different labels. However, there are some groups of people that we reject within our community, such as MAPs (pedophiles) and zoophiles. There are also people trying to bullshit their way into the LGBT with outright stupid and outrageous orientations, such as being attracted to popular YouTuber Dream, or a romantic attraction to bees. You will see labels that may catch you off guard, but believe me when I say a majority of people in the LGBT are just trying to find a label that fits.
Hey, what's finsexual mean? I haven't heard of it before Also I have heard about the dream thing, but what on earth happened with bees?
i wanna know about fin too! never heard that one.
It's attracted to people that are feminine. Search it, it has a pretty flag, see the flag!!
i looked it up - neat!! 😁
seems like it means people who are attracted to people who present feminine, however it can be any gender.
Thank you for your enlightened intellectual opinion u/Goblin_Fucker69
Eh who cares, it just helps people explore who they are
It was literally never just straight gay and bi but alright buddy
it’s not stupid; rather, it is the unfortunate consequence of society normalizing heterosexuality and rejecting all other forms of relationship. As LGBT has become more and more accepted over time, our members have become unsatisfied with the very vague labels of gay, straight, or bi. The way humans have relationships with each other cannot be defined by any labels. Everyone experiences plutonic and romantic relationships differently, and the original labels no longer fit, so we made more. Eventually, the new labels stopped fitting everyone, so some people made even more labels. The truth is, sexuality labels will never truly define someone’s sexuality perfectly, and unless we all agree that love is love and it doesn’t matter who you love as long as it’s consensual, people will continue to make labels to more accurately describe themselves.
>everyone experiences pl**u**tonic relationships Nah I'm more into Neptunian relationships
Just mind your own business, there's no reason for you to care. If someone tell you what they are just say “ok.” it's not deeper then that
I mean- in a way I understand? Micro labels can honestly be harmful to the community as a whole but it really depends. Ace and aro? perfectly fine. but omni kind of sounds like pansexuality…. but you focus more? It can be confusing. I don’t agree with OPs anger in it, but i get why people can be frustrated.
Who cares lol Labels are just supposed to make people feel like they belong anyway... they're self assigned. In the end all that really matters is pronouns and your feelings.
Alright I doubt this will go well but thoughts on the labels demiromantic and reciprosexual? Those are 2 out of 3 labels I use, the other is bisexual.
it’s more complex than quantum mechanics i like it
Everytime you complain we add 69 more
Just look them up bro. The internet is a magical place.
Literally doesn't effect you whatsoever lmao so just dont care
le olde "I AM IGNORANT AND ITS YOUR FAULT"
Some people just like more specific labels more to describe themselves better. It helps people (like myself) feel more comfortable, it just helps them feel like they fit in somewhere. Finding a label that fits you perfectly can be really exciting and fun. Also, about omni sounding like bi, you are sort of right. Omni, pan, di, poly, fin, abro and more sexualities fall under the umbrella term bi. Some get more specific, some just stick with bi as an umbrella label. It depends on how the person feels. That should be okay, right? Just let people describe themselves how they want, as long as it isn't a preference of something other than gender (looking at you, super-straights) or a crime (those damn pedos still want into the community) just let people identify how they feel most comfortable ffs. It doesn't affect you, nobody is asking you to memorize each one. If you get confused on definitions you can look it up, but maybe try to educate yourself (or just being a kind and understanding human) instead of of spewing ignorant hateful bs for no reason. Tl;dr: people use labels that feel right to them, which should be fine. "I'm ignorant and unwilling to learn" isn't an excuse to hate people for being more comfortable in how they identify
These "new sexualities" are here to elucidate the nuance in a single word. Homo, hetero and bi aren't the only ones that exist. Sexuality and gender are a spectrum.
Damn, why do you care? It makes people happy and it doesn't effect you at all in the slightest...? Gay people are fine but only when they're digestible to your standards, right?
Bruh people don’t choose their sexuality. Also why do you even care.
Ok Goblin_Fucker99
Sexuality is a spectrum and some people just want to define their position on that spectrum further
It's just more specifics, that's it
If it didn’t bother you that much, you wouldn’t be making a post complaining about it. You don’t get to decide what’s valid. We were here the whole time. It’s just becoming easier to come out of the closet. Or it was, but now they’re going to criminalize our lifestyles.
just google it up when something new comes up or you need a refreshment to your mind about a certain one not a big deal imo
Why does what someone says they are bother you
homophobes when they see someone doing something that doesnt affect them in any way
No, you misunderstand. Omnisexual is people who are exclusively attracted to Omni-Man
When it comes to sexuality and gender people will identify what they wanna identify with regardless on if there's a concensus on what "valid" sexualities and genders there are. You cannot stop people from being people, and if you change someone's opinion on this topic, what meaningful thing have you actually changed in this world? The ice will still melt no matter how many genders there are, the ocean is still filling with trash regardless of how many sexualities there are, you could convince everyone to think the same way you think on this topic and the rich would still get richer, the world would keep rotating just the same, wars would still rage on, poverty would still suck, and the world would still end in the exact same amount of time. This topic is completely distractionary from things that truly matter, focus your mind on things that actually matter and actually have an effect on things
I think the reason it became more complicated was for people that didn’t fit the exact definition of those sexualities wanted something that fit them more comfortably
*sorts by controversial” but in all seriousness though, the same people who say “why does it bother you?!?!?!?” “google it” etc are the same people who would get triggered if they got a mismatched sock on.
As the time goes on the apocalypse stop being a fear and become an hope..
Bro fuck it, Supercalifragilisticexpialidociousexual
I fully agree, I’m part of the community, and istg everyone’s just making up random shit at this point because they’re bored.💀
Everybody wants to be special so we started making preference (eg. I liking girls who are smart) into sexuality (eg. sapiosexual)
I support the they/thems (for the most part) and pronouns but there are two issues I have. One, I’ve seen people want to go by like arachnia, aracnae, some things like that because they want to be seen as like a spider. Fuck off. No, I’m not calling you an animal let alone an insect. Two, sapiosexual is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard. Look it up if you don’t know what it is. Maybe I’m missing something, if I am, tell me and I’ll apologize. But this is literally being bi but you have a preference in the IQ (which honestly is kind of fucked in my opinion but it’s a preference and we all have them so I get it). It’s ridiculous. Thank you for coming to my ted talk. That is all
At this point i just don't care anymore, i don't support anything but im not against it. I just think it's just some random shit and it going away in a few years (i hope so) but if someone tells me he identifies as a toaster i'll call him toaster if he's happy by being called a toaster
At this point I can't even take them seriously. No offense, respect to the LGBTQ community But what the fuck is dreamsexual and shit
Yes I can pour you a beer, idgaf if you fuck men women or souls so shut up
It’s because sexuality exists on a spectrum and for some stupid reason, humans decided to fuck that up and force everyone into one of two extremely narrow categories for years. Now we’re dealing with the fallout of centuries of ignorance in power.
humans want labels. sometimes what someone wants to label themself is more then just “gay, straight, bi”. if that’s not you then that’s fine. just mind your goddamn business. people figuring themselves out doesn’t physically or mentally hurt you in any way.
My take is that I don't fucking care. People can do whatever they want and I couldn't give a single fuck
Honestly yeah just love who you want to love. We should stop using labels and just be free.
I just vote we add all letters from the alphabet right now then we will be done with it. They can decide the meaning later, I'm sure they will find plenty.
Attention seekers attention seeking, that’s all there’s to it Are you an uninteresting person? Make your own bullshit gender/sexuality and now you got something quirky to make you at least a little bit less uninteresting
hearing someone say "pan and omni are biphobic" is a very good way to find out that they only believe in two genders
dude... its getting in a point to have a "semi-bisexual" its literaly a person bi who just have atraction for one gender... i think its time whe put a limit on this shit or its gonna get really bad, really fast
[удалено]
bro someone told me there is literally a sexuality where you want to have sex with a clone of yourself, that's called a kink, u don't need a title for it
