"Pansexuality"

(Anonymous) 2015-07-09 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
When did people start using this as a term and why are we letting them? Until we get actual non-human sentient beings you can fuck you're bisexual. Stop making a pretend meme sexuality to insult bisexuality.

For some people it implies that bisexuality inheritely does not include all genders or trans people or smth.

Which it doesn't, depending on the person.

I've met several people who use the "new school" definition of bisexuality, which means that they are NOT interested in partners who are trans or genderqueer. I think that rose up because "bi" means "two", implying there are only two genders.

I've learned to use "bisexual" in most situations, but I prefer the term "pansexual" because gender is of no concern to me. It's just packaging for the beautiful soul inside. :)

Wasn't the term "pansexualism" a Freudian thing? It's not new.

Also, it doesn't mean the same thing that bisexual does.

Re: "Pansexuality"

[personal profile] cbrachyrhynchos 2015-07-10 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
Yep, it's originally a Freudian thing.

I think the terms mean different things. I can't say how other people define it, and everyone should be able to define their sexuality for themselves. That being said, I see pansexuality as being more broad then bisexuality. I specifically consider myself as bisexual because I have specific types for both genders and those types are very different, and I think that pansexuality would be bigger than that.

That's what I was thinking. I remember coming across bi vs. pan stuff in the late 90s/early aughts.

I wonder if OP is just encountering the term for the first time?

Re: "Pansexuality"

[personal profile] cbrachyrhynchos 2015-07-10 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
Nope, it seems to be a popular wank on tumblr these days. One reason why I'm no longer on tumblr these days.

lol no I'll use whatever I want because some people make the distinction about being attracted to cis vs. trans people.

Which is fucking reasonable. Some people think genitals on men or women are important, even if they're otherwise bisexual.

This isn't me personally, but that's that persons' prerogative since not everyone has to be attracted to everyone else all the time.

I'm omnisexual myself. Pansexuality was too restrictive, like tight fitting pants. Omni is where it's at.

What is the difference to you?

But I am sexually attracted to cookware, tho.

Re: "Pansexuality"

(Anonymous) 2015-07-09 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
There are humans who don't identify as male or female, though. I thought that was the correct reason for the difference? Bisexuals are only attracted to men and women, pansexuals are attracted to tertiary genders too.

But that opens up the other can of worms about the meaning of the "bi" in bisexual and whether it stands for the exact number of genders bisexuals are attracted to, or the fact that they're attracted to "both" their own gender "and" other genders.

Re: "Pansexuality"

(Anonymous) 2015-07-10 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
I agree, it's dumb. It seems more like an attempt to be pedantic and define bisexuality than anything. Or it's fucking pretentious - "Ooh I'm not attracting to GENITALS I'm attracted to PEOPLE!"... yes, because the rest of us, gay, straight, or bisexual, are only attracted to genitals. What does it even mean in practice? Inclusive of trans people? I think that's even more insulting because it assumes that someone can't be in a gay or straight relationship with a trans person. Inclusive of intersex people? Okay, but again, seems pretty pedantic for including a very, very tiny percentage of humans. Inclusive of "genderqueer" people? I have my own issues with the "genderqueer" movement so whatever. Either way, functionally it adds nothing to the conversation, and I agree, the word should die.

I certainly appreciate a good pan. Are we talking stainless steel, or copper bottomed?

I still don't understand why it's so important no one deviants from monosexuality. oh, your question. from observation I would say humans are weird, irrational, and have way to pick up odd habits.

I thought pansexual implied that you were attracted to transgender/transsexuals/agenders?...Bisexuality doesn't always imply that, IMHO.

Re: "Pansexuality"

(Anonymous) 2015-07-10 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, bisexuality doesn't really imply one way or the other. Some bi folks are attracted to genderqueer people. Some bi folks are attracted to people who are trans, but not to people who don't fall under the male/female umbrella. Some bi folk are only attracted to cis people. It's pretty individual - which you can also say of straight and gay people, which is a part of why there's a lot of objection to tossing a new label into the mix. Especially when people then attempt to "correct" us on our own identities.
