Bisexuality is being attracted to two or more genders. Pansexual is being attracted to people regardless of gender. Queer is an umbrella term for the LGBTQIA+ community. Is that okay?

Oh and I'm also having a crisis
Is Queer and Pan the same thing or am I an idiot
If they are not the same please explain me the difference

Just like Knights-Shives-Might-be-a-pyro said. Pan is when you are "blind to gender" and you don't base your preference off of gender or sex, so you are okay with all genders and sexes (male, female, trans, non-binary, etc.) while queer is more of a general term for any member of the LGBTQ+/SAGA community, sometimes referring specifically to sexual/romantic attraction in which case think "anything but straight". Genderqueer is similar but with gender, similar to being non-binary.

Note: Some people view queer as a slur still while others use it as their actual term.

You made that way simpler. Thank you.

Also, some people who use 'queer' as a sole identifier may not feel like they fit under any specific sexuality or choose not to label how they feel attraction.

Happy 4th Of July everybody!

Happy fourth!!!

:(: yay

Happy 4th of July!!

Hiiiiii!! I was just at a 4th of July parade and I had cut my hair earlier that day…

Here's the new look, by the way:

And a woman called me sir. I died a little bit also felt more alive than ever. She called me sir.

Now, I'm still female. But I'm kinda male a little too? And also kinda neither? I don't really know my own gender. But she called me sir. I'm like so fucking happy right now! And then she went on to say that men should be more comfortable with pink colours and I'm like, oh my Goddess, did I go to heaven? I probably did.

But I'm happy sooooo…. yeah, here's my weird piece of bullshit of the day to contribute. Have a nice July 4th y'alls!

How so?

the hair? the aesthetic? the light? a Look

Cool. I'm not even wearing pants in that photo, but cool (sorry if that's tmi, I had just gotten out of the shower and hAD TO TAKE A PHOTO). My bedroom just has really good lighting I guess.

Noice!
I sat way too close to the fireworks and my eyes want to die.

Oooh hell, let me tell you about fireworks. I hate them, they're giant and noisy loud bright pieces of crap that give me a headache. I dealt with TWO sensory overloads. TWO!!! I normally go through, like, one incident per every other month. TWO. IN ONE DAY. Bullshit? I call.

I love them, but these ones were kinda yikes, I put my sunglasses on even though it was hella late and I still needed to close my eyes and/or squint at times.

Yeah. I don't like fireworks. Not up close. They're pretty, but… Nope.

We were also so close that ash was falling on us so yay.
Also a bunch of bugs kept crawling on me, gross.

Ewww! I'm so sorry you had to deal with that, Jynnie.

It was still fun though, there were some super pretty ones!

There was this kid behind me during carmelfest who wouldn't shut up about the fireworks
He was all
"aww, that's just a one-shot" and "look, it's rapid fire now!" and "I feel like they're aiming right at me!"
Like ctvubjnbhugvybhj that's not the correct terminology and you're very annoying

I drew a flag on my face but now I'm nervous and have been keeping my head down so my hair will hide it. Whoops.

At my 4th of july reenactment place I was all in costume and not supposed to break character but this teenage girl came in with a shirt that had all the, 'black lives matter' and 'love is love' and 'science is real' and as they were about to leave I smiled at her and said "By the way miss, I love your shirt!"

That. Is. Fucking. Amazing.

Also, I'm trying to push my skeptical sister into the Sanders Sides famdom because I need someone around IRL to geek out to, and she nearly clicked on Dealing With Intrusive Thoughts for her first time watching one of Thomas's videos and I was like "gOD NO!! DON'T DO IT OKAY?" but seriously I freaked out because that is not the video you start with, like, ever, especially for a new fan.

Lmao that's the first one I ever watched

Oh God you're scarred for life now aren't you?

Nah, I've seen worse.
It helped me though because intrusive thoughts suck and Thomas logicking his way out was nice.
Also Remus is a Stinky Rat Bastard Man.

He truly is. Although Deceit, despite being seen as evil from some of the fanbase, is my dark snake son. I love him like my own child. Aaaaand I can always just draw him when I have artist's block too.

(Sorry for interrupting but)Kelp me- my mothers transphobic and doesn't like the LGbT comuinity :( i'm trans IDK what to do……
