=== New LGBT Identities Explained (09:24) ===

[00:00:00]  So, as you know, LGBT people are very oppressed.
[00:00:04]  So incredibly oppressed and persecuted in this country.
[00:00:08]  But at the same time, the LGBT acronym keeps expanding because people are so desperate to invent some new LGBT identities so they can be a part of the club, so they can be involved as well, or to bolster their resume within the club.
[00:00:22]  They'll make up new identities to be a part of it.
[00:00:26]  See, I've never heard of an oppressed group That functions exactly like that.
[00:00:30]  Can you think of any historical example of a group that's persecuted and meanwhile people who aren't in the persecuted group are actually pretending to be in it just to get themselves a dose of that sweet persecution?
[00:00:44]  Help!
[00:00:44]  Help!
[00:00:44]  I'm being repressed!
[00:00:46]  I can't think of any example of that historically.
[00:00:47]  So this is unprecedented.
[00:00:51]  Possible explanation is that LGBT people aren't persecuted at all, so I'll let you determine.
[00:00:55]  What?
[00:00:56]  No!
[00:00:57]  Anyway, as part of this expansion, we now have something called...
[00:01:01]  Pansexuality.
[00:01:02]  And pansexuality is a really sought-after identity these days.
[00:01:07]  It's one of the newest things.
[00:01:09]  Hot off the presses.
[00:01:10]  People are really into it.
[00:01:12]  Celebrities are coming out as pansexual.
[00:01:15]  Left and right, everyone is pansexual all of a sudden.
[00:01:18]  So that raises a question, which is, what the hell is a pansexual?
[00:01:23]  What the hell are you?
[00:01:25]  Well, a pansexual, as far as I understand it, is someone who's attracted to either sex.
[00:01:32]  But isn't that the same as a bisexual?
[00:01:35]  Well, you might think so, but apparently not.
[00:01:38]  We're told these are two different things.
[00:01:41]  How are they different?
[00:01:42]  What's the distinction?
[00:01:43]  Well, to answer that question, I think we have to go back to consult the wise sages of TikTok, who are experts on many things, but especially on all sexual matters.
[00:01:55]  And we've got a few videos here kind of explaining what pansexuality is and how it's different from bisexuality.
[00:02:02]  And I thought this was just a good learning opportunity for all of us.
[00:02:05]  So let's start watching the videos.
[00:02:08]  Bisexuality is the ability to feel emotionally, physically, or even sexually attracted to more than one gender.
[00:02:16]  This can be two, four, six, eight, or even all of them.
[00:02:19]  This can be with or without a preference.
[00:02:21]  Pansexuality is the ability to feel attraction regardless of someone's gender or sex or gender expression.
[00:02:26]  Also explained as the ability to feel attraction to all genders without a preference.
[00:02:30]  Look, I made you a chart!
[00:02:34]  What?
[00:02:35]  Okay, so they're literally just the same thing.
[00:02:37]  Am I having a seizure or something?
[00:02:39]  Or didn't she just repeat herself?
[00:02:41]  It's exactly the same thing.
[00:02:43]  Sorry, wait, no, no, no, no.
[00:02:45]  Bi is the ability to be attracted to anyone of any gender.
[00:02:50]  And Pan is the ability to be attracted to anyone regardless of gender.
[00:02:55]  I think that's the distinction she made.
[00:02:58]  You see it?
[00:02:59]  You see the distinction?
[00:03:00]  Me neither.
[00:03:00]  I don't see it either.
[00:03:02]  Because there isn't one.
[00:03:03]  You know, it's just two words for the same thing.
[00:03:06]  And there's a lot of that in the LGBTQXYZ acronym.
[00:03:10]  A lot of the same thing repeating over and over again.
[00:03:12]  Same for the 192 genders.
[00:03:13]  It's just sort of like the same thing over and over again.
[00:03:16]  Because in reality, there are only two.
[00:03:18]  But, um, I don't know.
[00:03:20]  Maybe she just did a bad job of explaining it.
[00:03:21]  So let's, uh, let's, let's watch another one.
[00:03:23]  Being sexual and being bisexual is the same thing.
[00:03:25]  You just got to get over these years of, you know, intercourse.
[00:03:29]  I gotta get over my years of internalized biphobia?
[00:03:32]  Bitch, I was bi for literally three years until I realized that I'm pan.
[00:03:37]  If you don't know, this video is directed at me, so hey bae, thanks for the even more clout than I already had.
[00:03:41]  Also, the likes to comment ratio already?
[00:03:44]  Mwah, amazing.
[00:03:45]  Let me explain bisexuality and pansexuality to you because you obviously need a lesson.
[00:03:50]  Bisexuality versus pansexuality for dummies, here we go.
[00:03:53]  Bisexuality.
[00:03:54]  Oh, I think that girl's attractive.
[00:03:55]  Oh, I think that guy's attractive.
[00:03:57]  Oh, I think that non-binary person's attractive.
[00:03:59]  Pansexuality.
[00:04:00]  Oh, I think that person's attractive.
[00:04:02]  Oh, they're a girl?
[00:04:03]  Okay.
[00:04:03]  Oh, I think that person's attractive.
[00:04:05]  Oh, they're non-binary?
[00:04:06]  Okay.
[00:04:07]  Oh, I think that person's attractive.
[00:04:08]  Oh, they're a guy?
[00:04:09]  Okay.
[00:04:10]  Do you get it?
[00:04:11]  Bisexuality.
[00:04:12]  Attraction to more than one gender.
[00:04:14]  Pansexuality.
[00:04:14]  Attraction to anyone, regardless of gender.
[00:04:16]  It's mainly feelings-based and personality-based.
[00:04:19]  Thanks for the panphobia!
[00:04:20]  Thank you!
[00:04:24]  First of all, what is it on TikTok with the cackling they're always doing?
[00:04:28]  These girls on TikTok, I don't wanna make any assumptions, but these girls on TikTok, they're always cackling.
[00:04:36]  I'm not sure what that is exactly.
[00:04:38]  And why do they always edit the video so that it cuts out the last word they said before the end?
[00:04:43]  But anyway, panphobia, she says.
[00:04:45]  Yes, we have panphobia now.
[00:04:48]  There are people out there who have a phobia of pansexuals, apparently.
[00:04:53]  I mean sure, I run into this thing all the time.
[00:04:55]  Haven't we all seen people running through the streets?
[00:04:59]  Oh no, the pansexuals are coming!
[00:05:01]  It's a pansexual!
[00:05:02]  On second thought, I haven't run into that at all because nobody can have a phobia of pansexuals because that's a made up thing.
[00:05:10]  Being afraid of a pansexual is like being afraid of Peter Pan.
[00:05:14]  It's an imaginary thing.
[00:05:16]  But let's keep going here.
[00:05:16]  Maybe we can find a video that makes sense of all of this.
[00:05:19]  And I'm already just looking at the image here, and I feel like this is a person who can illuminate and enlighten us all.
[00:05:28]  Let's watch.
[00:05:29]  Guess what, f***ers?
[00:05:30]  My patience has run out.
[00:05:32]  Pansexuality is not inherently biphobic.
[00:05:36]  They are both valid sexualities.
[00:05:39]  Both of them.
[00:05:40]  And while yes, I have seen pansexual people use that label for questionable reasons, they pretty quickly get it once you explain things to them.
[00:05:49]  They do.
[00:05:50]  And not only that, but do you know who likes to use specific or micro labels?
[00:05:55]  Neurodivergent people!
[00:05:57]  Sometimes we just have to do whatever we can to feel safe and comfortable.
[00:06:01]  And using a more specific label can be our outlet for that.
[00:06:04]  If you took all that energy you spend calling people biphobic and saying they're performing bi erasure and just educated them, there would be less biphobia.
[00:06:13]  There would be less bi erasure.
[00:06:15]  Because you've explained it and people will know the difference.
[00:06:19]  I've f***ing had it with you guys.
[00:06:21]  Jesus f***.
[00:06:23]  That was a, uh, safety pin.
[00:06:26]  In his, hers, that individual's face.
[00:06:29]  Right?
[00:06:29]  That was a safety pin?
[00:06:30]  That's what I thought.
[00:06:31]  Anyway, uh, pansexuality is not inherently biphobic.
[00:06:35]  Did you hear that?
[00:06:36]  Pansexuality is not inherently biphobic.
[00:06:38]  And this settles the age old debate.
[00:06:40]  I think it was, uh, it was in fact, uh, Aristotle who was the first to postulate that pansexuality is not inherently biphobic.
[00:06:46]  So I'm glad that we've established that.
[00:06:47]  He also says that we need to, or rather, uh, the, the individual, I honestly really have no idea, but, This person says that we need to fight bi-erasers.
[00:06:59]  I'm not sure what a bi-eraser is.
[00:07:01]  It might be the kind that erases both pencil and pen.
[00:07:04]  I'm not sure.
[00:07:06]  Somehow I'm just feeling more confused the more that we watch.
[00:07:09]  Let's try one more to see if maybe this will finally make everything make sense for us.
[00:07:17]  What's the difference between omnisexual and pansexual?
[00:07:20]  Omnisexual people like all genders, while pansexual people like people based on their personality.
[00:07:25]  So yes, they both like all genders.
[00:07:27]  But, gender is more relevant to omnisexual people than pansexual people.
[00:07:32]  Most of the time, pansexual people are blind to gender, while most of the time, omnisexual people are not blind to it.
[00:07:38]  Comment any genders or sexualities you want me to explain and compare.
[00:07:41]  Like for part 5!
[00:07:44]  So now we got... Now we have omnisexual 2.
[00:07:47]  So we got bisexual, pansexual, omnisexual, all to describe people who are attracted to either gender, or regardless of gender, or inclusive of gender, or in spite of gender, or whatever.
[00:08:01]  This cannot possibly get more redundant, or arbitrary, or absurd.
[00:08:05]  Yeah, you're a woman.
[00:08:06]  In other words, you want to have a strong bond with someone in order to be attracted to them.
[00:08:14]  bond it's not an option get to know me I'm demisexual yeah you're a woman in other words so you you want to have
[00:08:24]  a strong bond with someone in order to be attracted to them so it's just like
[00:08:28]  every woman that has ever existed you just call yourself that
[00:08:33]  That's fine, too.
[00:08:35]  So, okay.
[00:08:36]  You know, I said I'm more confused the more that we watch these, but I'm actually not.
[00:08:40]  I'm being facetious.
[00:08:42]  I know exactly what's going on here.
[00:08:43]  It's not confusing at all.
[00:08:44]  People have defined their identity and meaning and purpose and entire personality and their existence by these sexual labels, and this is what happens when you do that.
[00:08:53]  I mean, the ironic thing is that, you know, they're trying to escape labels.
[00:08:58]  Escape what they call a rigid binary.
[00:09:02]  And they can't escape it because the binary is natural.
[00:09:06]  It's biological.
[00:09:08]  But what they found in their flight from labels is a whole bunch of additional labels.

=== Easier to Label Than Live (00:30) ===

[00:09:13]  So now they're more labeled than they've ever been.
[00:09:16]  And they're arguing with each other over the finest little distinctions.
[00:09:22]  And I guess they take comfort in that.
[00:09:25]  Because it is easier to adopt a label than it is to develop a personality and find actual meaning in your life.
[00:09:33]  Also, as we've seen in some of these videos, having a label like this gives you an excuse to dress like a character from a Tim Burton movie.
