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.

things that actually do improve your mental health that of course won’t cure you and solve all your problems, but will significantly improve your quality of life:

• drinking enough water

• eating healthier

• getting enough exercise (even just doing a bit of yoga/stretching everyday or going for a walk)

• adopting a more positive mindset (not pretending everything’s fine, just not being overly negative and trying to see the brighter side of things and have hope for the future)

• taking a shower everyday and washing your hair enough, taking care of your skin, doing nice things for yourself every now and then (it doesn’t have to be costly, it could just be something small), and other forms of self care

• meditation (its actually proven to improve your mental health significantly and really helps with things like stress and anxiety)

• being more mindful about the media you consume and how its affecting you (e.g “hey i feel more anxious when im on social media because of this reason, I should decrease how much time i spend doing that”)

• practicing self love (although it’s hard, it’s absolutely necessary)

• writing in a diary, it can be a physical diary or just on your phone (really important for people who can’t get therapists or don’t have anyone to talk to)

please stop downplaying the positive impact that small practices like these can have on someone’s life just because they won’t fix everything. small improvements are still improvements. neglecting yourself and your health is terrible for your mind and any steps towards taking better care of yourself are really important

Hypothetical dark academia novel in which instead of the crazed obsession being death, it is birth. Imagine a group of teenage girls drunk on the power they have to create life. They consider themselves gods. They drink wine, have bacchanals, and eat fruit in mossy caves on Sunday mornings. They gather every day before school to review the latest scientific discoveries over orange-peel tea. They write plays and raise their voices in excitement over new plot devices and marvel at the endless possibilities they have. The girls are avid feminists; they write essays and speeches about femininity and gender roles. They romanticize Renaissance women. They show up to school in all black, dress shirts rolled up to the elbow, hair in elaborate braids. Imagine the romances, the scheming, the poetry, the art, the speeches, the projects, the philosophical ramblings, the wide-eyed wonder and subsequent ambition.

Communication goes a long way. If you’re busy, say it. If you’re upset, express it. If you’re late, let people know. If you’re unsure, ask. It’s so simple but so important.

I love that the internet saw people comparing women and other alienated groups of people and went, “they’re dating,” and, “they support each other.” We’re improving as a society.
