Do bạn agree with me? Pansexuality does not exist.

Not trying to offend anyone who identifies themselves as pansexual, but I don't believe in it.
Actually, it offends me a little bit.
So heres my reason why it's not "real": Bisexuality is basically "pansexuality".
Pansexual definition basically is likes males and females (including transgender, genderqueer, ect.)
Bisexual definition is males and females.
To me though, transgendered people ARE the gender they identify as. They are not another gender and should be treated like the gender they are and not like they are different in anyway whatsoever. (mtf = female and ftm = male). Bisexuals are also attracted to them, unless the bisexual person is probably faking it and is transphobic. I've never met a real (as in, not 12 năm old girl trying to be cool) bisexual who wouldn't be attracted to a person if they knew they were transgendered. Also, bisexuals are attracted to genderqueer people. Basically, I think pansexuality is just a way of saying "I'm bisexual but I'm too hip to call myself bisexual because it's too mainstream" because on another site I use it seems everyone is supposedly "pansexual"

Opinions?

(Reminder: I am gay and I would ngày a transman! If I loved him it wouldn't matter at all so please don't treat transgendered people differently! I have a transwoman friend and she gets made fun of a lot for apparently being not a "girl" and it hurts me a lot to see how sad she feels about that sometimes.)

They can feel attracted to anyone, like pans, but there's still a difference. Pansexuals aren't attracted to "all genders" as bạn say. Pansexuals aren't attracted to gender at all.

No, bạn are greatly confusing the two.
Bisexuality means bạn are attracted to the two sexes. Male and Female.
Pansexuality means you're attracted to all types of people. Whether they are male, female, transgender, intersex, ect.
Someone who is bisexual may not be attracted to these people, which is why they are considered Bi and not pansexual.
People are not pansexual because it's "mainstream". They are pansexual because that's who they are. They are attracted to what they are attracted to an they cannot help that.
I can understand your confusion between them. I thought they were the same at first when I didn't really know much about either. But now I know for a fact, they are not the same thing and pansexuality does exist.

Bisexuality is certainly not pansexuality.

I'm bisexual and I'm not comfortable with the idea of dating a transexual person. I have trans Những người bạn but I would be a bit uncomfortable dating them. I know they're normal and I treat them like the gender they identify with but for some unexplicable reason, I don't want to have sex with them...if that makes sense.

The key words in your câu hỏi were "to me". That's just it, TO bạn they ARE the gender they identify to. But that's not so for everyone.

I don't think bạn should be saying things that bạn think apply to everyone, but might not.

It's also not very nice to say that pansexuality doesn't exist. Lots of people think bisexuality doesn't exist. Think of how offensive that is.

It really depends on how bạn define "bisexuality". Some use it to mean "at the poles", as in attracted to the most definitely masculine and feminine but nothing in between, while others use it to meant "at the poles and everything in between". For those who make a distinction between the two, the latter is called "pansexuality". "Bi" is "two"; "pan" is "all".

I remember when Pansex used to mean that it was a transgendered person who was atrracted to their birth gender. (Man now woman, is still attracted to women, so they would be seen as "Lesbian" to those who wouldnt know that they are transgendered) It was something My LGBT group would say to identify those types of sexual orientation. But However Pansexuality is considered way different? And Pansex wasnt intended to be the shorter version of the word, its just what we used. I say, if bạn dont have "scientifical" evidence that pansexuality does not exsist then bạn cant say it and expect everyone to go along with you. If your gay bạn say your gay, and if your Bi your bi. And if your Pansexual i say your pansexual. Sometimes people will call themselves Pansexual because maybe they do not liked to be considered bisexual, i know many gay people who perfer homosexual and đồng tính nữ who just want to be known as gay. eh, im confused so i guess ill shut up.

bạn see, the problem with what bạn đã đưa ý kiến is that bạn basically đã đưa ý kiến that there are only three gender identities: cis female, cis male, and trans. That's wrong. while there ARE cis girls, cis guys, and trans girls and trans guys, bạn need to understand that some trans folk identify as binary and some identify as nonbinary. Also, there are countless other gender identities. Nongender, demigirl, demiboy, androgynous are just a few of them. Bisexuality is the attraction to two hoặc thêm genders, while pansexuality is attraction to people regardless of gender (I wouldn't say 'genderblind' though. As a pansexual myself, I do see gender, I just don't particularly care when it comes to my attraction of the person). So. Yeah. Pansexuals and bisexuals are definitely different, and definitely valid. :)

it's good to see people are actually starting to notice us in the transgender community. i've recently come out as a transgender male here on fanpop. i don't know if anyone who knew me before will be shocked, i think it was actually pretty obvious if bạn knew me well though. i've been here since i was 15.

yes, i agree with you, that definition of panssexuality offends me too...a lot. yes, liking a transgender man/woman does not define your sexuality whatsoever. if a straight man likes a woman that was no born with female parts then he is still straight and there are many reasons for this. for one thing transsexual women have been scientifically proven to have brains resembling a female thêm than a male, as well as transgender men. liking a transgender hoặc gender queer person does not define your sexuality and i would like it if these uneducated panssexuals would quit it.

however, on a different note, not everyone wants to identify as the same thing. some people may feel thêm comfortable calling themselves panssexuals just as some genderqueer people want to call themselves "two spirit", which basically has a very convoluted meaning. i think people should be allowed to use whatever label that Luật sư đấu trí them.

also, panssexual can also mean someone who isn't attracted physically to males hoặc females, they are attracted to personalities and emotions. ie. less superficial, that is the meaning i have come to know before some uneducated people (with good intentions i might add, but non the less uneducated) tried to associate it with our gender. gender and sexuality are on completely different playing feilds. i am a bisexual, and i know many transgender women who are lesbian, but that doesn't mean they would enjoy a single moment of being a man, no, they tình yêu their lipstick, they tình yêu their pretty clothes and jewelry, why should they have to sacrifice any of that? why should they have to sacrifice their womanhood? many non-transgender đồng tính nữ are super girly!

Hi! As a pansexual female, we in no way mean to offend bạn hoặc other trans people with our sexuality. However, I'd like to just clear something up. I class trans males/females as the gender that they are ( as in what they have chosen to be - very poorly worded, i in no way mean to cause offence with that) The thing that makes me comfortable with identifying as 'pan' is that it is inclusive of all genders, as I feel attracted to those of all genders - be it male, female hoặc any other. That is what I take as the meaning of it - it doesnt matter to me what gender bạn identify as.

As a pansexual and transgender male myself, I'm gonna clear things up. Firstly, there's a gender spectrum, there are thêm than two genders. Yes, if someone says they're a woman, they're a woman, and if someone says they're a man, then they are a man. On the other hand, there are people who are non-binary, agender, demi-boy, demi-girl, gender fluid, etc. There's so many ways that people can identify as and that is a definite line between being bisexual and pansexual. As a pansexual, it wouldn't matter to me what a person identifies as, I focus thêm on the actual person, not what they have in their pants compared to what they identify as. Bisexuality on a concrete level means a person dates either one of the female hoặc male gender, this doesn't exclude people who are'nt cisgendered as a man hoặc woman.

mia_2478 said:
No I don't agree. I see your point, but here's mine. Bisexuality means having sexual attraction to males and females (including transmen and transwomen, because as bạn say they are the gender they identify as), hence the 'bi' at the beginning of the word, meaning two. However, there are thêm types of gender. Agender/gender neutral means someone who doesn't identify as having a gender, therefore creating a new gender (you may say that they must have a gender, that they can't be in the middle. But that's not what this is about, this is about who they IDENTIFY as). Furthermore, genderfluid means a person who changes from identifying themselves as male to identifying themselves as female, thus creating a fourth gender. Finally, someone can be born without anything in between their legs. I don't know the name of this, but I think it's too rare to have a common name. This adds up to 5 genders. Therefore, Pansexuality, also known as gender blind, is the attraction to ALL genders, not just male and female, because of the 'pan' at the start of the word. This means that pansexuals don't find attaction in a limited amount of genders, and find attraction in others based on personality versus gender. I believe this các câu trả lời your question. Please do correct me if bạn believe I've made any mistakes.

I know this câu hỏi is old, but here goes anyway. Pansexual is not just a declaration of "I am also attracted to genderqueer people" but an acknowledgement that gender is a spectrum and not merely polar. Sure, people who identify as bisexual may be attracted to genderqueer people too, but to just slap the simple "bi" label on it denies the existence of those in-between identities. So in effect, sure, pansexual may be just a politically correct word, but I don't see it as a declaration of attraction to trans* people but rather loving people, in general, however they identify.

I agree with you. A lot of the people I've known who identity as pansexual seem to believe that romantic attraction is the same as sexual orientation and it isn't. Lots of people can be attracted to inter sex hoặc gender queer people but it's not a significant amount of the population it's been embedded into biology in the same way the sexual binary has. Maybe eventually humans will biologically evolve to that point but I believe it's a choice and not a sexuality. I don't mind people who say they are pan romantic but pansexuality doesn't exist and is simply a way of young people to throw off the idea of the gender binary bởi shouting "All of your labels are binary! So we're going to invent our own sexuality!" And it doesn't work like that. They kind of crap all over every other valid sexuality too but focus most on bisexual women and đồng tính nữ in a very sexist way. *This what I have witnessed online and sometimes first hand in real life which is why my sympathies for pans is fairly low* They could go a long way bởi trying not to be such special little snowflakes. I'm bi and I've been with several people outside the binary. I don't need some special blue ribbon for it.

I always find it a little offensive when someone says pansexuality "doesn't exist". That's like telling a gay person your sexuality doesn't exist. It sounds a bit ignorant, as if bạn just choose not to think outside the proverbial mainstream box people like to live in, in order to shut out the ever growing reality...

I'm pansexual (always have been and always will be) and bạn sound like a kid whose never read the definition of pansexuality before.

bạn have to remember that there is a large gray area between being straight and gay, as well as, sexualities that go far beyond that spectrum. For example, Intersex people are neither female nor male. Say bạn chose to ngày an intersex person, bạn can't call yourself "bisexual" nor can bạn call yourself straight. You're not gravitating to their sexual organs, but who they are inside, absent of their gender hoặc whatever sexuality they claim. That's pansexuality.

I understand this câu hỏi is a bit old though, so hopefully, you've been enlightened since then.

Hi there :) I know this is an old post, but I thought I might clear up something about pansexuality. I identify as a female pansexual. This isn't because I think bisexuality is "too mainstream". I also don't think that being bisexual means that bạn view gender as being binary. I know that there doesn't seem like much of a difference between identifying as bisexual, polysexual hoặc pansexual, but for me the term "pansexual" refers to the fact that gender doesn't even come into the equation. I think of it as saying that I don't have a gender preference. The reason I choose this term over "bisexual" is because there are countless gender identities, and I'm not just into two of those identities ("bi"), I'm into all of them ("pan"). When it boils down to it, it's a distinction in wording and it's a label that fits my experience of my own sexuality best. Therefore - No, I don't agree with you, but I hope this helps with maybe understanding pansexuality as an identity a little bit thêm :)

No. You're correct that a binary trans person belongs to the same gender category as cis person of the same gender (trans men are MEN, trans women are WOMEN), and thus an attraction to "both men and women" would in no way preclude attraction to trans men and trans women (and I feel the need to point out that such attractions are no thêm binarist hoặc erasing of non-binary folk than monosexual attractions are sexist hoặc erasing of those genders not found sexually attractive bởi gay and straight folk).

A person identifying as pansexual and identifying zir/her/his orientation as "attraction to men, women, and transgender folk" is misgendering an othering binary trans folk, and this is not okay.

There are thêm than just the two genders, however. Plenty of people don't identify as male hoặc female. There is a whole wide world of non-binary genders people can experience attraction towards.

bạn are also correct that the most common definitions of bisexuality are "attraction to thêm than one gender" and "attraction to genders both similar to and different from my own. Plenty of bisexual people are attracted to thêm than two genders (and those only attracted to two genders need not necessarily be attracted to the two binary genders).

This in no way invalidates the existence of pan people (indeed, when has one orientation ever been dependent upon the definition of another?).

Probably the best way to describe the distinction between bisexuality and pansexuality is that bisexuality is the attraction to two hoặc thêm genders (a bisexual person could experience attraction toward people of two genders, hoặc three, hoặc 7, hoặc 9, hoặc all genders), pansexuality is thêm specifically attraction to people of ALL genders (so someone who is attracted to people of all genders could just as easily identify as bisexual as they could pansexual - and indeed, plenty of folk identify as both - but a person who is only attracted to people of two hoặc three genders probably wouldn't identify as pansexual).

It's basically just a thêm specific identifier for those who experience attraction regardless of gender (though the concept of "gender blindness" makes me VERY uncomfortable, not only for all of the same reasons "color blindness" makes me uncomfortable, but also because it can amount to erasing the genders of people who have worked and continue to work very hard to have their gender recognized bởi the rest of the world) hoặc who - like me - are attracted to a wide range of genders.

For me, I identified as bisexual for a long while after I was familiar with pan as an identity (and frankly, seeing the behavior of the most vocal members of the internet pansexual community makes me consider eschewing the label entirely), but eventually, "pan" became a thêm practically useful identity, as it gave a thêm precise mô tả of my attractions, and saved me the extra effort of listing the genders I experience attraction toward.

I was originally taught that bisexuality is being attracted to the two binary genders (males and females). A similar orientation is polysexuality, which is when someone is attracted to a few genders (but not necessarily all genders). In that sense, bisexuality is a form of polysexuality, because it means you're not attracted to every gender, just the two binary ones.

Pansexuality, from what I've been told from people who identify as pansexual, technically means that bạn are attracted to all genders, hoặc people regardless of gender, although some may still have preferences. The key point is that it's inclusive to all gender identities - not limited to just the binary ones like bisexuality.

Bi means two so bisexuality means bạn are attracted to two genders (male & female). Pan means all so being pansexual means bạn are attracted to all genders. If bis say they are attracted to genderqueer people then they are actually probably pansexual. Also pansexuality is a sexuality where we are attracted to personality rather than attraction of a certain gender. When being attracted to someone we can separate physical attraction from emotional attraction. We fall in tình yêu with people because of who they are not what they are.

Here it is, short and sweet. When bạn say bisexual, and say that bisexuals like genderqueer people, you're very much wrong. Anyone identifying that way is actually pansexual. Now I intend no offense on anyone for having misidentified, but that's just what it is. Bisexual- bi means two, and in this case refers to people who like both genders. So yes, bạn could say that bisexual people like transsexuals just the same, as they identity as one of the two genders hoặc have had full operations to make them acceptable as a different gender from their original gender from birth. Pansexual, pan coming from greek meaning all, could also be called omnisexual, but of course pansexual is a thêm accepted term. Pansexuals either don't recognize genders, and/or do not care what gender bạn identify as. Bisexuals do not (orientation-wise) participate in consensual sexual relations with genderqueer people. If someone says they do, the proper and accepted term is pan, hoặc pansexual. I hope I cleared this up for you.

As a panromantic pansexual, this was very, very offensive to me.

Living with a bisexual sister, I can safely say that there is a big, BIG difference between bisexuality and pansexuality.

Bisexuality is normally attracted to two genders: men and women. My sister is open to having Những người bạn of another sexuality but she doesn't necessarily have a sexual attraction towards these people.

Pansexuality, however, can be attracted to any and all gender identities and sexualities. I personally do not care about a person's gender, whether genderqueer, bigender, trigender, hoặc whatever. What matters is personality and how a person makes me feel.

And what I find upsetting is that you're gay, nothing wrong with that. bạn are part of the LGBT community, a community that already receives a lot of hate and discrimination, as well as having misconceptions and stereotypes spread.

First of all. Being attracted to transgenders and cisgenders is different. If someone is attracted to let's say a man who was born a man, that is cisgender. But it's not the same as them being attracted to a trans male. It isn't really offensive since its a preference. Another thing is that bi means 2 so basically if bạn are bi bạn are attracted to two genders. Whether that be gender fluids hoặc trans etc. The most common is being attracted to cisgenders. Pan means all, so basically they can possibly be attracted to all genders. The fact that bạn would openly online come out and deny a sexuality and try to defend it is for one thing stupid. Considering even if bạn have the "facts" bạn will still get hate for it. And also the fact that bạn are not bisexual yet are speaking in half of them and again denying a sexuality doesn't make sense. Then bringing up the fact of your friend being bullied (I'm so sorry for Her btw) is irrelevant to the topic. And I'm still not quite sure why bạn brought it up. But considering I don't exist (since I'm pan) I gues I would let know would I. Anyway your entire bài viết is based off of your assumption of a sexuality bạn don't even believe in. So therefore i am done now with this long answer. And am leaving this site Bc I am insulted and mad.

I do not agree with bạn because pansexuality and bisexuality are indeed different. Bisexuality refers to two genders (hence the 'bi') while pansexuality refers to all genders (hence the 'pan', meaning all). Some examples of other genders include genderqueer, genderfluid, agender, bigender, and trigender. Pansexuality includes all of these while bisexuality only refers to two of them, but it doesn't always mean male and female.

i see your point but bạn completely left out people that identify as agender, bigender, hoặc the whole range of demi girls and boys. pansexual is pretty much a term for anybody who would be with anybody else because they dont care what they identify as they basically just care if they like the guy/girl/other. its basically just a sexuality that says screw the whole gender thing we like people based on their personality hoặc compatibility with us. so its basically just bisexuality+

To be completely honest with bạn I 100% disagree.
I myself am a Pansexual girl, being Pansexual is different from Bisexuality. For one Bisexuality is restricted to strictly themalw and female gender roles, But for Pansexuality bạn are attracted to the person for their heart, not their physical sex organ. And yes I do agree with bạn on the fact of transgender people should be identified as what they prefer, but to be correct bạn have to think of the fact that there are thêm than two genders. Genderfuid would be of not male and female and that would not classify as a single gender. And agender neither gender. The. Pansexual community is sometimes referred to as gender blind because to us the gender doesn't matter. bạn tình yêu the person for who they are not for what that have in their pants.

If you're saying it doesn't exist that seems purely ignorant. I was with a woman once who đã đưa ý kiến there was no such thing as bi because bạn could only tình yêu one gender...I couldn't care less if they had all the parts hoặc no parts. I can see where bạn come from in terms of gender identity But i know plenty of bi people who would not be with an hermaphrodite. To me i believe gender labels are a bit dumb and personally i believe bạn are the "gender" bạn are unless bạn think otherwise and i can genuinely accept that.

Personally, I do think Pansexuality is a thing, and not just because I identify as Pansexual.
I thought about the point bạn made, that some Bisexuals would still find a Trans person attractive. But if the person in câu hỏi likes Males, Females and Transgender people they are most likely Polysexual (Polysexual is where a person may like any combination of genders hoặc sexes, but not all the genders hoặc sexes.) hoặc perhaps they might be Pansexual (I know bạn think Pansexual is just liking Females, Males and Trans, but it is actually when someone is attracted to every gender and sexual orientation).
Personally, I think that bạn aren't trying to discriminate against Pansexuals, but that the encounters that bạn have had with people who think of themselves as Pansexual. Maybe a 13 năm old girl pretending that she was deppressd and Pan, I don't know, there are a lot of fake people on the internet. But I would really appreciate it if bạn broadened your mind.

My confusion remains with how different bi and pan people classify their sexuality, and the main thing I'm coming up with is a certain non-exclusivity when it comes to gender (I'm not even gonna touch the trans issue; I find classifying trans people as a separate gender offensive and unhelpful). And that's what doesn't make much sense to me. I don't see how someone classifying themselves as agender, bigender, what-have-you, changes anything about someone's sexual attraction towards you--this sounds like thêm of a personal preference in an individual's dating/sex pool than a biological sexuality, like how some straight women might prefer very masculine men hoặc very feminine men. It doesn't negate their straight-ness based on preferences. If bạn never revealed your gender identity, how would that change the roots of your sexual response to another person?

Example: Say you're a straight man attracted to someone who is obviously female. That same female considers themselves agender, perhaps uses they/them pronouns, etc. Obviously, this man wouldn't know that immediately--all that his sexual preference knows is that they are physically female. Since gender identity is not always physically hoặc outwardly obvious, this is where my confusion lies. If someone would be so kind as to address THAT part (whether gender really, truly, has anything to do with biological sexuality), I would be eager to try and understand. Especially since some are coming to the conclusion that a person's physical sex may hoặc may not factor into their sexuality, which doesn't sound completely scientifically sound to me. But I could be wrong, hence the request for clarification.

To me bisexuality is about sex. It means bạn can work with both penis and vagina in the bedroom. Some people can only work with penis exclusively hoặc vagina exclusively. Some people are asexual. I don't think bạn can even know for certain if bạn are asexual if bạn under the age of 25. It takes time to develop yourself, go out with people, fall in tình yêu with someone, learn a bit what turns bạn on. To me that is all there is. All the transgender people that I have known identified as either male hoặc female. Intersexed have both parts. There are literally people born with testes and a vagina. That is a combo of the two. I am mainly talking about sex. Gender used to mean sex. Now is has become to mean gender expression. However, that is purely a social construct. Anyone could really wear any clothes, hairstyle hoặc have any personality. The problem is society labeling these things masculine hoặc feminine. I am bisexual and would go out with a transgendered person. I know this bothers people but sexual orientation has thêm to do with what bạn do in the bedroom. People can have romantic feelings towards a lot of people and young people in high school and college will ngày all sorts of people. Yet bạn are not going to make a long term relationship/marriage work if bạn can't make it work in the bedroom. bạn have to know at some point if bạn can work with a penis, hoặc a vagina hoặc either. But all sexual orientations want to have relationships. This "pans" only like the tim, trái tim is very offensive to everyone else. People do look for personality, intelligence, and common values when looking for a mate. People are also wired to be able to work with penis exclusively, vagina exclusively, hoặc can work with both. Asexual is not sexual hoặc not interested in sex. There are people that masturbate but for what ever reason don't want to have sex. Some people have all kinds of issues socially, depression, aspergers, OCD fear of germs. I don't know. But to me there are only those three orientations and I don't think anyone should be considered to be asexual until at least 25 years old. Kids today are pontificating too much about their sexuality. They need to just do school, have friends, live life and when it happens it will happen. There are other things in life.

No, bạn are wrong. Pansexuality is real and I identify as it for my sexual orientation. Let me explain why. Bisexual means bạn are attracted to male, female, and nonbinary. Whereas when you're pansexual bạn are attracted to male, female, nonbinary, gender fluid, bigender, gender queer, etc. there are so many genders out there and pansexuality means bạn are attracted to ALL of them. Now, if a bisexual person decided that they were attracted to male, female, nonbinary, and (just a ngẫu nhiên one) transgender it would make them polysexual meaning they are attracted to thêm than two genders but not all the genders. And yes, transgender people do identify as the sex they have changed to but if bạn were dating a straight male and bạn told him bạn used to be a man, chances are he might break it off. Unless he really doesn't care and just loves bạn for bạn then that would make him a demisexual, meaning that he doesn't have a specific sexual orientation and he just loves you. Demisexual meaning "person's name" sexual so he is only attracted to bạn

Okay. I'm kinda about to rant right now because this post really makes me angry. I am in fact pansexual, but even if I am I'd like to stand up for bisexuals here bởi saying a few things: NOT EVERY. SINGLE. BISEXUAL. PERSON. IS. BINARIST. Meaning, that although some bisexuals CAN be attracted to just males and females, the term 'bisexual' means attracted to two genders! To identify as bisexual bạn need to think of yourself as a person that is attracted to ONLY TWO genders. That's it. Stop forcing the binary on a whole sexuality, and let every bisexual define themselves and who they like.

Now, back to pansexuality. Before bạn say something stupid, I'll have bạn know that it is humanly possible to be attracted to ALL genders, meaning male,female, and non binary. Note that I didn't put transgenders, because trans men and women are simple MEN and WOMEN. I am sincerely sorry if my tiếp theo sentence seems a but harsh but: Unless bạn are explaining the definition of a sexuality, it is very wrong of bạn to deny the validity of a sexual orientation bạn are not a part of. And I'm not saying because you're LGBT as well bạn have to be all for other LGBT sexualities, but don't bạn think it's a bit thêm than a little disrespectful to discriminate against other people who face the same struggle?

Not all bisexuals are binarist.

Pansexuality is a legitimate sexual orientation.

And trans men and women are simply men and women.

Get your fucking facts straight (or gay) enforce bạn talk down on people bạn don't understand. Either that hoặc just stop talking about misunderstood sexualities as a whole.

bạn hiển thị that bạn have no understanding of Pansexuality AND Bisexuality. Your hypotheses about Pansexuality is wrong. That's not an opinion. It's a fact.

Bisexuality: The Sexual and Romantic attraction to two genders.

Take note. TWO. Bisexuals do not only like Males and Females. They like two genders. It's usually either Females and Males, Males and Non-Binary people hoặc Females and Non-Binary people. Some will be thêm specific, (Genderqueer and Females for an example) however this is unusual.

There is an infinate amount of gemders that exist on a spectrum. On one side, there is Male, on the other, Female (These two genders make up the Gender Binary). In the middle there is Agender (genderless). There is an infinate amount of genders inbetween.

Why do I mention this? Simple. bạn need to know at least a little about the gender Binary and Non-Binary to understand Pansexuality.


Pansexuality: The Sexual and Romantic attraction to all genders.

Pansexuals DON'T just like Males, Females, and Transgender people. That is a watered down version often used to come out to non LGBTQ+ people such as parents. Transgender people TRANSition their physical sex from one Binary gender to the other. They can also be Non-Binary

Transgender people have not got a new gender. That's why "transexual" is considered extremely transphobic. They're just people born into the wrong gender.


In other words, Bisexuality =/= Pansexuality.

In conclusion, bạn are wrong, as pansexuality is not "pretentious bisexuality" hoặc "confused bisexuality", it is its own sexual orientation. tiếp theo time, try doing so basic research before bạn go around shaming pansexuals.

That does not make bạn a third gender. Obviously due to this notion any who would be in a relationship with đã đưa ý kiến person would be considered bisexual. I do nother wish to offend anyone in my statement and if I do so I apologize but the identifying yourself as pansexual seems thêm like people that want thêm individualized attention. I have a 14 năm old daughter that claims pansexual its and while her sexually is of no consequence to me, when I asked her if she was SEXUALLY attracted to a hermaphrodite she đã đưa ý kiến she wasn't sexually attracted to anyone. If I were a bisexual I think I would actually be offended bởi many people's claims to this as it would (to me) downplay all of the struggles that people go through who are of that sexual orientation. I support all lifestyles myself but I do think especially the mainstream need to realize there is a difference between support and being. Again to my original point though at its base all humans still are male and female. Some are both combined and some are one who choose the other...either way it still is just two. I have known many people of many different sexualities and all that I have met have agreed with me that I have met anyways.

No, I don't agree with you. Because I believe there are thêm genders than male and female, like the non-binary spectrum and agender. Gender and biological sex are not the same thing. (I have to point this out because I see myself as being attracted to someone's gender, not their sex, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.) Furthermore, pansexuality does not mean a transwoman is different than a real woman hoặc a transman is different than a real man; rather, it means gender doesn't matter at all, with the assumption that there are thêm than just two genders. I don't think bạn understand that.

If a person only believes there are two genders then fine, they can just identify as bisexual and be on their merry way. And if bạn don't agree with me and say a person is only attracted to sex, not gender, then also fine. But if a person doesn't care about gender at all and believes there are thêm than two genders, then they sure as hell can identify as pansexual. I don't see how that's offensive at all.

Okay so actually bisexuals themselves to cis female and cis male so pansexuals and bisexuals aren't the same thing. I get what your saying about the fact that bạn believe that transgenders are male hoặc female but there are thêm genders than what bạn think hoặc believe.

I'm pan so I get this câu hỏi a lot. Bisexuality is being attracted to genders in the binary, guy and girl; bi- meaning 2 explains that. This most definitely includes transgender people if they're within the binary. Pansexuals, pan- meaning all, are attracted to all genders, including those not within the binary. This could include people that simply identify as nonbinary as well as genderfluid, transexual, etc.

To clarify, pansexual people are simply attracted to people no matter their gender - the other person could identify as any gender and it wouldn't matter. Bisexuals are attracted to people within the binary, this does not mean that they're discriminating - it's just their preference.

I think most of the confusion comes from people using the terms interchangeably. They have different roots for a reason - they refer to a difference in preferences. Some bisexuals are pan and just don't use that term because they think it's stupid and some pansexuals are actually bi and don't want to exclude people. Just because a lot of people use the terms interchangeably does not mean they're the same thing and it's not really fun hearing al the time about how I'm just trying to be special hoặc whatever. I just prefer something slightly different than bạn and I want to clearly communicate that with people I could potentially date.

This is not true at all, no disrespect. The definition of pansexual is that bạn are attracted to all different gender identities. What bạn are saying about trans people is true, that they are what ever gender they identify as. However, bạn are basically saying that the only gender identities are the genders they are born with and trans people. But this is not true at all. bạn are completely disregarding agender, gender fluid and non-bianary gendered people. Also if bạn are bisexual bạn are only attracted to people that are their biological gender it may not be right but it's true. If bạn are attracted to trans people bạn would identify as pansexual hoặc polysexual. And honestly saying that a sexuality 'does not exist' is disrespectful. I'm not trying to be rude but these are facts :)

I find this post offensive. If bạn say no offense, that doesn't make it not offensive.
bạn cannot say that Pansexuality offends you, because it is a sexual orientation. I cannot chose what sexual orientation I have. It shouldn't offend you, bạn have no reason to be offended. That is a hurtful thing to say. Also, Pansexuality and bisexuality are not the same. Pansexuality includes men, woman, gender fluid, intersex, agender, ect. It basically states that tình yêu is love, and that people should be able to tình yêu anyone, regardless of gender, because what does that matter? Also, bởi definition, pansexuality means that bạn tình yêu all genders equally (Of course, this is different for all people). Bisexuality is loving men and women. It is also important to note that people can be bisexual and pansexual. I understand this is just a question, but why does it have to be phrased this way? the LGBTQ+ community is supposed to respect and support eachother, no hate included.

I honestly don't think anyone knowledgeable enough would agree with you. In fact, I personally would take great offense to that idea. to delegitimize any sexuality is wrong, and to subjugate you're own meaning of gender is even worse; NOW i'm not saying you're a bad person, but the whole idea that sexuality is SOLELY binary is one that is incoherent with reality

I signed up just to agree with you. I'm sorry to burst your bubble everyone else that says their offended from someones opinion, but I believe there are only two genders. And if bạn bring up hermaphrodites please stop and think. Being born as a hermaphrodite is a birth defect and NOT a third gender. Feelings don't make up what bạn are, like race, if bạn feel like your black but your skin is asian hoặc white bạn are clearly not black just because bạn feel like it. I've learned to be accepting of people even though I don't agree with them but this is just something that can't exist. It just doesn't exist, there are two genders, but it really isn't hurting anyone since it is the same thing as bisexuality. I don't care what bạn all think because it doesn't really change anything.

I am Pansexual and offended. There are about 122 genders and NOT 2. Pansexual means bạn like any one of those 122 genders. (Depending on what bạn feel) Bisexual limits the amount of people to have a relationship with. I think bạn shouldn't go around assuming "Oh, your pansexual but that isn't real" Because what your saying is wrong. It really is. And I'm sure everyone of of those 122 genders are offended. Deeply.
