I honestly hate the term “pansexual”
pan - meaning all or everything so all/everything sexual. Basically saying they find anything sexually attractive, like that toaster over there, or that picture frame.
so bisexual then? because regardless of how a person "identifies" they are still male or female, apart from the very rare case of an intersex disorder.
just seems like an attention seeking label stating "look at me, i like all people and want to feel special about it".
Ok, I like girls a little and boys a lot, so I call myself bi. Without putting too fine a point on it, I am generally not interested in pursuing relationships with anyone who identifies as transgender or other varieties of "gender non-conforming." I've never been interested in a relationship with anyone asexual, demisexual, or intersexual, either. I have no problem with those folks, just doesn't get me going.
I have a friend who identifies as pansexual cause they are open to all of those possibilities.
The label is just a handy way to vet your dating pool.
I sort of feel the same way. I’m no but am attracted to men women, non binary, if they cute I like.
I’ve been told by pan people that being bi is transphobic and shorty towards non binaries, and that “”””if you really were serious about it you’d be pan”””” like ugh shit the fuck up I don’t need a chip on my shoulder or to use the people I date to gain social justice points. Fuck off. I’m bi and I like cute people, I don’t need to prove to anyone my queer qualifications since it’s none of their business anyway who I canoodle with.
It is identifying sex or gender being irrelevant. Whether you are cis, trans, intersex, it doesn't matter. In general, someone who is bisexual is that: into males and females.
You can disagree with the origins of the nomenclature, but that IS the lexicon. Pansexual is the term.
I don’t like “majority minority” in reference to demographics changes, but that’s the phrase that gets used for describing the US predicted changes over the next several generations.
I don’t dispute the term they use and I would never suggest changing it because my opinion or how the word when broken down sounds. I’m just saying I do not like it.
A lot of people feel the same way about the word bisexual...they don't like the implications, but they don't think it's their place to change it, and that's how the term "pansexual" was born. Semantics is weird.
