what comphet is: a serious issue lesbians face when society makes them feel as though they have to/are obligated to/supposed to be with men.
what comphet isn’t: an excuse to erase bisexual characters and representation in media because you don’t like that a character is bisexual and not lesbian

Listen. I’ve been on this site for a long time. I was around back when the LGBT community majority here was was a complete shit show of basically ace and pan are the only valid orientations, otherwise you’re a regressive bigot.
Do you have any fucking idea how harmful it is to be a young teenager and see things like “hearts not parts”, “pan people see past gender!” and “pan people love people for their heart!”? Do you know how hurtful it is to be struggling with whether or not you like men and see plastered everywhere that only pan people love people for who they are? That lesbians and gay men are only interested in people for their genitals? And to see this paraded around as progressive and right?
It’s incredibly fucked up. It fucked me up so much. To think that if I didn’t allow men to be a part of my life I was an awful person. To think that it was transphobic to be a lesbian or a gay man, because those identities were only interested in gender.
You can’t just excuse people saying these things with “oh they didn’t mean to be ____phobic” because it doesn’t matter. They did something offensive and they need to own up to it and change their wording and think hard about how they view gay people to have even thought these things in the first place.
And I know what spurred this doesn’t seem like a big deal, but this issue is and this wording and phrasing needs to stop. I thankfully don’t see it around as much, but it still goes on, obviously. When I google pansexual some of the first results are “hearts not parts” graphics. And look, there’s some more biphobia and transphobia right next to it!
Every time you imply pan is the only orientation capable of truly loving their partner and see past their gender you’re hurting young questioning gay kids.
Please, I’m begging you all, especially my followers who are pan, do not let these phrases continue. Do not them continue to be the norm to describe pansexuality. Please stop it wherever you see it.

i rate movies using a strict pass/fail system based on how the cinematography compares to this one shot in monster house
Maybe this is the wrong platform to pose this question given the average tumblr user but
Is it just me or did our generation (those of is who are currently 20-30 ish) just not get the opportunity to be young in the 'standard' sense?
Like, everyone I talk to who's over 40 has all their wild stories about their teens and 20s, being young and dumb, and then I talk to my friends and coworkers and classmates, and we just... dont.
