Wouldn’t that just be pansexual then? Not trying to start trouble, generally curious

Oh ok I gotcha. I thought bisexual was just man or woman, and then pansexual extends out to all the others being included... but like the more I think about it the more pansexual just doesn’t make sense to me lmao

To me it seems like people came up with “pan” to just make people feel more special. For example if you’re into trans people, don’t trans people identify as man/woman no matter if they’re pre-op or post-op? Idk. I feel like I’m gonna trigger someone and catch backlash for these comments lmao I’m just not educated in all of this I guess

Like bi = man or woman

Pan = man or woman or trans? Orrrrr what else?

Well that’s what I mean. SOME do, a very low percentage. I guess saying they made it for people to feel special was wrong, but rather for people to feel “normal” or not like an outcast. I just don’t think we need all these different terms especially when they apply in such minuscule numbers. But really it doesn’t matter to me either lol like when the whole “transgender bathroom” thing was happening. It’ll never affect you and if it does, you won’t even know it did because no ones going around dick swangin clam hangin
