No problem, I want to explain as much as I can that people start to understand us, we should be in general more informed within the LGBTQIA+ (or whatsover) Community because some of the bigger groups seem to discriminate minor ones not that all of them do or something like that but it does happens at least to me.
I mean I am demi so I get told that I havent got fucked good enough (which has nothing to do with it..) or that I should get my hormones checked because I am not normal (I do have a libido I should be okay...)
ANd when I tell I am Pan many say I am just a snob and an attention whore while I just try to explain how I work
And when I am telling that I am genderfluid they say the same they dont believe me they dont try to understand it (I mean I do have dysphoria and I feel like this since I can remember ) and I think everybody deserves the possibility to explain and get excepted for what they are :) I mean if you feel like you are f.ex. a horse (bit crazy) I would totally accept it and try to treat you as you want to be treated I think acceptance is what we need in the community but we have a lack of it what can end fatal sometimes we have to support us because once everything was not tolerated and even now there are things that dont get talked about (I mean everybody knows homo, bi and trans but nothing about asexuality and still many people think bi and trans persons do not exist or are attention whores, or Bis are cheaters..

I know what you mean, and people just see, to be making fun of people due to their sexualities. Literally making fun of them , like how you mentioned, using the terms " attention whore " or making faces when they hear the word bisexual and so on, like as if it were a bad thing. And the stereotypes I've heard are similar to " bisexuals are cheaters" which was " how do bisexuals turn bi when they're dating? " right, then they get to the "cheating" conclusion. Which isn't valid, it's ridiculous and just plain awful to think that way about us. 
  I've heard so many things, read so many comments on these type of stamps and art , it's revolting. If only they knew what was actually going through our minds or what we actually felt, not just ew she likes girls or ew she's lesbian. And your right, our community lacks acceptance. Some are even afraid to admit their orientation to even close ones due to the lack of acceptance, I mean, love is love, and love is not a choice.
