[@ErkaaJ]

Yes, XS stands Excess and is a critique of late capitalism and the depraved simulacrum of capitalistic schizophrenia. Following the student uprising in Paris in May 1968, Deleuze’s thought became more politically engaged. Anti-Oedipus (1972), the first volume of a two-volume work (Capitalism and Schizophrenia) written with the radical psychoanalyst Félix Guattari (1930-92), is an extended attack on traditional psychoanalysis and the concept of the Oedipus complex, which the authors contend has been used to suppress human desire in the service of normalization and control. The book concludes with a rather naive celebration of schizophrenia as a heroic expression of social nonconformity. In the second volume, A Thousand Plateaus (1980), which they present as a study in “nomadology” and “deterritorialization” (the former term suggesting the nomadic lifestyle of Bedouin tribes, the latter a general state of flux and mobility), Deleuze and Guattari condemn all species of rationalist metaphysics as “state philosophy.” In 1995, depressed by chronic illness and his generally deteriorating health, Deleuze committed suicide.

A gentle correction about bisexuality: it doesn't exclude nonbinary people. It's a (sadly) common misconception, but it's ever been true. Bi and pan are verrrry similar but still have different feels to them that warrant looking into if you're questioning. Just in case any questioning people are scrolling the comments.

Bisexual just means attracted to 2 or more genders; doesn't inherently exclude nonbinary folks. Pansexual means can be attracted to all genders and said attraction exists regardless of people's genders. Love you Queen and I am so, so excited for this album💕💕😭

Станко Гагрчин I'm literally trans so I know that sex is different than gender. Your comment is transphobic and excluding intersex individuals. "one of the two sexes" yikes

[@OliviaRichards]

Annie I said "two or more genders," so yeah that's what I said. and sexuality pertains to what gender(s) you're attracted to so...

[@user-fs6td9rn3d]

@@OliviaRichards I just cringed so hard. How can you call me transphobic, did you just assume I'm not trans and that I'm ignorant of trans issues? Intersex people make according to Wikipedia around 0,07% of the population, so my comment was right, in 99% of the cases people are either of female or male sex. What if I called you biphobic because you deny their existence and label them unscientifically? People like you give trans folks a bad reputation, screaming 'transphobic' at people who just stated something scientifical in a friendly way. Btw I absolutely am very well aware that straight girls and gays are in most cases into trans men and straight guys and lesbians in most cases into trans girls. But the category of sexuality is based on SEX not GENDER or the dynamics that go into sexuality (poly, demi). So yeah the traditional labeling system is probably obsolete and should be replaced by a completely new paradigm. Or we should stop being biphobic and contributing to bi erasure and accept that most of people are bi.

Hey rina! I love youuu and I love this video. Bi and pan are synonyms, and I’m glad pan is what ur comfortable with! But assuming bi ppl don’t like non-binary/trans people just cause they label themselves as bi is not actually true :-) can’t wait for ur albummmmmm ❤️❤️❤️

[@insomnimaniac58]

hiii slight correction there. its true what you said about how being bi doesn't necessarily mean you aren't attracted to trans/nb/gnc people, but its important to note that bi is not a synonym to pan!! bi means liking two or more genders, while pan essentially means being genderblind. that's all, stay informed, and STAN RINA!! :)) 💜

[@izzi437]

Yia Florentin bisexuality has always included attraction to trans people. to say otherwise is ignorant of the history of bisexuality as a label. stop portraying bisexuals to be transphobic and shallower than pansexuals. stay informed!

[@insomnimaniac58]

Izzi - with all due respect, i never implied in my comment that bisexuality doesn’t include attraction to trans people, nor did i mean for it to come off as something shallower than pansexuality. all i wanted to point out was that bisexuality and pansexuality are two different things. apologies if it wasn’t clear enough.

[@izzi437]

Yia Florentin sorry, i didn’t read the first sentence properly. i want to apologize if i was too harsh. however, bisexuality and pansexuality are synonyms. being bi isn’t being attracted to “two or more genders”, because that statement is related to how pansexuality is commonly defined as being attracted to “all genders”. specifying the “number” of genders is transphobic in general because it implies that trans and nb people aren’t inherently included in every sexuality. at its core, bisexuality and pansexuality are synonyms, because they both indicate attraction regardless of gender. any common definitions of pansexuality that distinguishes it from bisexuality, such as being “genderblind” or being more attracted to “personality than looks”, or, my most favourite one (/s), “hearts not parts”, implies that bisexuals Must consider gender, or looks, or are more “sexual” than pansexuals. I hope you can understand why it’s frustrating when pansexuality is portrayed as being more inclusive than bisexuality, because common definitions or distinctions are biphobic in nature. It’s because of this that they Are synonyms, and whatever little differences that people want to claim they are does not change the fact that they essentially describe the same thing: attraction regardless of gender. (Also, I would like to add that I know there are people who realize that being bi and pan mean the same thing, and just prefer identifying as pan. I’m also not trying to say that those who identify as pan, over bi, are trying to be biphobic or transphobic by doing so.)

[@insomnimaniac58]

​@@izzi437 ahh i think i understand now. so bi and pan are synonyms in that they both refer to attraction to all genders, but they each have their own slight differences (bi people being more "sexual" while pan people focus more on personality). really sorry for spreading misinformation! it's just that i've often heard people make that particular distinction before ("bi means liking two or more genders, while pan essentially means being genderblind"), and it never occurred to me how doing so could be exclusive or biphobic/transphobic. thank you so much for educating me! i hope our chain of comments serve to educate others as well hehe
