Yeah, was going to say this. I can see "pansexual" which 99% of the time will be functionally the same as "bisexual". I also agree with ayrt that sometimes they blur together.

There was this great definition of pansexual I read somewhere, which defined it as attraction to all genders, whereas bisexual was defined as attraction to some genders.

Which I thought removed some of the tendency for people to view bisexuality as transphobic, and pansexuality as 100% accepting.

What are the genders to that pan is attracted to and bi is not?

Because I've only seen pan as treating trans as a third gender, which is pretty damn transphobic.

I agree with your comment RE: pansexual actually being transphobic in many cases. Pretty ironic considering the amount of shit bisexuals get for even identifying as bi! :/

I think the best way to illustrate it is being attracted to people who identify neutral/other/third/no gender, in addition to people identifying as male and female.

Whereas someone identifying as bi may be attracted to people who identify as male & female, for example, or people who identify as neutrois & female, but not ALL expressions of gender.

How people USUALLY define bisexual & pansexual are: "attracted to men & women" and "attracted to ALL genders including trans!", both of which end up causing wank all over tumblr.

That made a lot more sense to me when someone explained it, anyway. And it seems to eliminate a lot of the debate about transphobia. (Obviously there's still problems with it, but these are the definitions I feel are least shitty to everyone involved.)

I thought bi was defined as being attracted to men and women, not men + some other gender or women + some other gender. o.O

(I spend very little time on tumblr)
