Panromantic Asexual here, and I have just one word I get a LOT of: Erasure.
As an asexual you get a lot of "how do you KNOW you hate sex if you've never had it?" Back up there, I don't hate sex, I hate kissing, sex I can take or leave. I have no sex DRIVE. Hard to get into sex if you're not interested.
As a Panromantic I get, "Are you REALLY? you're not even dating." I'm sorry if my asexual tendencies prioritize friendship over relationship, but I know I'm aesthetically attracted to almost every body type and absolutely every gender or lack thereof, so back off.

If you're not interested in doing something, you're not interested and that should be the end of the conversation, whether you're not interested in having sex, kids, going to uni, living in the city, learning to knit...whatever it is.

oh boiii there r too many to count but: when ppl say that ppl who are "straight" passing relationships don't belong in the community. bisexuals and pans, omni and poly people have every right to be part of the community.
but also what about straight nonbinary people? or straight transgender couples? or demis?? or aces?? they also have every right to be a part of the lgbtq+ community. this needs to stop being separated like cliques cuz it's not abt putting people in boxes.

Phrases I get tired of is when insults go flying just because I don't align with another's thought process (not their type). I am poly, have one daughter that is bi, another daughter that is pan. But I get called (whatever)phobic even though I am not and fully support others choices, even if they are not MY choices. --- Just because someone does not agree with you in a certain way does not instantly make them (whatever)phobic! --- I wish others would really look up the definition of things before using them as a label!

Gay men acting as gatekeepers for our community.
Gay men of a certain age went through a hell I can't even conceive of, but they can be more phobic of others on the sexuality or romance spectrum than religious extremists.
I've witnessed gay men verbally abuse trans people, dismiss bi people and makes jokes at the expense of lesbians in both personal and professional settings. But if they caught a whiff of a dig at what they thought was their direction, I have seen a fury like no other.
Obviously this attitude is due to the trauma they experienced, but there is no excuse for passing that on to the baby queers.

When me and a group of classmates stay for lunch we usually joke around or have toast battles or even once started bottle flipping.

This just happened the other day and it really bothered me. I was going for my check up at the doctors when suddenly my doctor pointed at me and said in a really stern, sure, and serious voice “One day you ARE going to have sex, when that happens use protection.” And like, I know they were just trying to make sure I practice safe sex, but as an asexual person it just made me want to scream out no. I know most people do in fact have sex, but just changing it to an “if” would have been so much better. I have no intention of ever having sex, it just isn't for me. But knowing people just expect me to 100% be involved in it just bothers me.
I know it's not that big of a deal, and they didn't mean any harm by it, but it still really frustrated me.

Now obviously I know not everyone is like this. And there are FAR more good LGBTQ+ out there. But the ones that will stand there and look you dead in the eyes and tell you "you're not a part of this community." And "You don't even understand what it's like. You have no right to call yourself oppressed." And "Its not even really a sexuality so it doesn't count." Those are the ones that immediately come to mind when I think of pride.

It's going to sound weird, but it's pride. I am happy most of us see pride month as a celebration, I am 100% behind the idea of pride month. But it's not me. I deal with depression and anxiety that went undiagnosed for decades. I am not proud of who I am and I never have been. Maybe you can thank the bible, because I grew up thinking pride was a sin, but I honestly am mostly ashamed of who I am, how I am. June is a very difficult month for me mentally, because as much as I want to stand up and shout it with everyone else in the parade, I can't.

As an asexual I get so many people telling me it’s because I haven’t met the right person yet or it’s actually just trauma related and could be cured by therapy. No, I genuinely have no interest in having people touch me or wanting to touch anyone intimately myself. I do find people attractive and I have affectionate feelings for some men and women but don’t ever think about wanting to have sex or kiss anyone. I’m attracted to the idea of emotional bonds and friendship.
It’s surprising how many people - including those in the LGBTQ+ community who just really don’t seem to grasp the idea that I just don’t think about sex. I’d love to fall in love and get married to someone of either gender but that just doesn’t involve physical contact. Emotional intimacy alone doesn’t seem to exist which is a real bummer since that’s 100% what I’m into

When in a definition of pansexuality, it says something like 'attracted to all genders, including male, female, non-binary, and trans people.' No. Trans men are men and trans women are women, they shouldn't be listed separately from men and women! I'm sure even if I was only attracted to men or women, trans people of that gender would still be part of that attraction! I've seen this on so many websites and it bugs me every time.

Some people who don't identify as men or women call themselves trans (when others would use non-binary) as their identity differs from what would be expected from their birth sex. Therefore it is legitimate to include trans people in a list. The terminology is new, ever evolving and probably not worth splitting hairs over.

Another thing is my friend(who I love and appreciate) somehow not realising that my parents hate that I'm gay. She is as well so you'd think she'd realise that not everyone can own a pride outfit, not everyone's parents want to go to pride and not everyone can talk out loud about it at school as if she outs me by accident the consequences won't be fun for me.

Don't let your Nan dictate your life, hun, you deserve to live your life and be yourself. Go to that pride, have fun, and laugh about that old hag. She can't do nothing to you anyway.

when straight boys flirt with each other as a joke, which would be ok but they go so far and end up moaning and pretending to have sex and being gross. but for some reason,no one blinks an eye and it's fine, even though you know if it was a gay couple that would be taken totally differently. It's so stupid

I know a pair of boys in my explorer scout troop who are like this together. In that case, it normally makes everyone uncomfortable. We (the openly lgbtqia+ members of the troop) got them back by knighting them as gay. It was very funny

When straight people think they get a "Straight Flag". You is just the default setting. You haven't been fighting for your rights for years on end. You don't need recognition.( Class Poster Today, 2 boys in my class wrote black and white flags as "Straight Flags" and then crossed out all Pride Flags on the poster. And they yelled at us for crossing out their non-valid flags when they crossed out our valid flags.)

I couldn't agree with the statement about pans because I know that your label is your label and it's none of anyone's business to say you're just pretending and you're actually straight/gay. I'm bi and been on the recieving end of that and it's hella annoying. I have no issues with pansexuality, just as I'd hope they'd have no issues with bisexuality. I didn't know about non binary people when I first started with my sexuality exploration (where I live is incredibly cis and straight) but as I reached my later teens I came into not contact with them and I realised that I found many of them attractive too. Bisexuality had been an important label for me when I was trying to figure out who I was and having that thrown into question again really messed with me. The second definition of bisexual (when the bi stands for the same gender and not same genders) was something I took as great comfort for my nasty coming out experience. This is quite long so tldr pans is valid, bis are too

Hi All, Heterosexual male here. I love and support all my friends in the LGBTQ+ community. That being said, I have a simple request: Please correct me if I use incorrect pronouns. I will always try to identify you as you are. Please know that I love you and respect you. I will support you and fight for you. Happy Pride!

1 That whole faze everyone went through on TikTok when they were “bi” but would never date a girl
2 I was questioning my gender a while ago and was trans for a while, I came out to one of my friends, he was nice but everytime a coach would call me a girl he would yell at them and scream “DO YOU LNOW HIS PRONOUNS” it was really embarrassing and I always told him I don’t care why should you, but kept doing it until I smacked him. Still does it sometimes and it makes me really uncomfortable because I’m questioning again and leaning to fem

Okay, so I’m pansexual deergenderfluid. I hate when people say that xenogenders don’t exist. Or when people say that this means I am a deer. I’m otherkin (tanuki) but I am not a deer! STFU! I literally have people pretend to “hunt” me because I’m a deer? What the f**k?

Fellow xenogender, I completely feel this. I found the label and connected with it long before I knew the backlash surrounding it. It's one of the factors behind why I'm so scared to come out. You are valid no matter what people say

The term pansexual and that so many people, in and outside of the community, thinks that bisexual means "only cis men and women." That was never true. It means two or more genders. My bisexuality has never been exclusive, and then one day I heard about the word pan and suddenly people were saying s**t like "I identify as pan because I don't exclude people based on gender."
Neither do most bisexuals, and a lot of pansexuals will have only been attracted to one gender despite what they say. It's just another expression of biphobia.

Bi has more than one definition and people always forget the second. The second is pretty much interchangeable with pan and it's just whatever you feel most comfortable with. I consider myself bi and my first relationship was with a non binary person so it's definitely more than just men and women

@Peter Bear. What happened to you? We literally have to deal with straight propaganda like this all year long. We only really have this one month to freely celebrate out pride in who we are. Speaking as a bisexual, I get shot down constantly and called invalid cus " Oh, you're a girl but your still dating a guy. That means you're straight" and so on. I am attracted to men, women, and non-binary. I identify as bi. Yes, I may be dating a guy, but that does not dictate my sexual orientation. Straight people have had the majority of celebrations for years @Peter Bear so can you please shut up. Yes, we all are humans, so how about you show the lgbtq+ community the respect we deserve as human beings such as yourself.

Missed my chance to put in my "pet peeve" here because I was not wanting the negativity of this in my thoughts at the time, but here goes: My 'pet peeve' is the current Finnish trans law. It is an improvement from the old one, but still you need to get a psychiatrist to declare you sick with the gender and for that you have to present as such without any help from hormones for quite a while (it sounds dangerous, because it is), then you need to be sterile and then if you aren't single, your partner needs to give you permission. Jumping through those hoops was just exhausting and anxiety inducing. And yes it is classified as a human rights violation.
