Why does Pride Matter?

MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
If you follow my socials closely (maybe too closely) I’ve spoken at length about my sexuality and experience, “out” to anyone who’s asked, but I realized that while I thought I didn’t have anything to bring to the table, my experience didn’t REALLY matter, etc… that just isn’t true. I am very proudly pansexual/bisexual, and while I don’t have a good label for my gender, I’m still working on that! (She/Her/Any pronouns!)
If you don’t know what pansexual or bisexual means, you’re not alone! Even people in the bisexual and pansexual communities disagree with some of the semantics, which is why I identify as either.
All I can say is that, to me, it means that my partners and attractions are not limited to a certain number of genders, which is why I identified as “pansexual” first, pan meaning “all”, felt good to me, especially as someone who is still “????” about trying to label “gender” for myself at all. No labels feels perfect, but isn’t often what helps explain to people, sorry I’m doing a terrible job LOL
Does being pan/bi mean I’m attracted to EVERYONE? No! I’m actually quite picky when it comes to attraction 😅 It’s impossible to put myself on any scale!
(If any bisexual or pansexual friends would like to put their own definition in the comments, please do!!)
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS
I wish I could make a video for every single person, unique situation, name, pronoun etc. Everyone deserves to feel completely comfortable in their skin. I hope this is a good start, but it is important to note that not everyone can fit into neat little boxes, labels, assumptions, etc!
This video series intentionally left vague any specific sexuality or gender identity — pronoun changes only!
Something I saw online that resonated with me that I thought was important to include in this series:
Trans Men don’t owe you masculinity
Trans Women don’t owe you femininity
Nonbinary people don’t owe you androgyny
(an important tweet https://bit.ly/3hoRLuZ)
I certainly am overgeneralizing in this series, playing up physical stereotypes of masculinity, femininity, and androgyny to elicit a particular experience — but women might not want to present femininely, men masculinely, nonbinary androgynously, etc.
Women don’t necessarily always use she/her, men don’t necessarily always use he/him, and nonbinary people don’t always use they/them. Pronouns don’t necessarily equal gender, nor have to align with any “rules” of sexual orientation.
Important: I am not professionally licensed or qualified to speak on or about mental health, nor am I professionally trained or educated. I very much care that you have access to proper resources that I cannot personally provide!

I also want to point out and appreciate all the work people put into growing Pride into such a large and supportive event, especially Black trans women. There’s so much to learn about the history of Pride, and even more to learn about each community that’s represented there.
