Side question:
Why is not understanding/supporting/accepting trans people considered a phobia? For that matter, why do we commonly label negative or bigoted behavior a phobia?

Ignorance (and things of that nature) are not inherently fear-driven. I don't get it.

You're not wrong. It's just the way we use the language, same way that TERF now gets often applied to people who aren't radical feminists. Just how it goes with language, is how I feel about it.

Because phobia doesn't just mean fear, words can have more than one meaning.

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/phobia

The second definition is "intolerance or aversion for".

Like how oil is hydrophobic but not literally afraid of water.

(Anonymous) 2020-01-04 06:35 pm (UTC)(link)
It could be, we don't know oil's true feelings about water.

Anon, I've often wondered the same question. Like not liking and automatically approving everything gay makes a person homophobic.

Signed, an old bi who doesn't "get" pansexuality. (Slightly different topic, but as long as I have a smokescreen of anonymity... I don't understand the "Need" for pansexuality when bisexuality already encompasses everything that pan thinks it is. Pan seems the younger, hipper bi, not actually different, despite what pan people say.)

Did you read the other responses to the question before posting this or what.

(Anonymous) 2020-01-04 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm just as confused as you are when it comes to being pan. The difference is apparently they're attracted to a persons personality not bodyparts, which I don't get since that's what being bi is. I'm asexual so I get even more confused the more I think about it.

Y’all realize there’s a difference between not understanding something and saying it doesn’t exist right?

I don’t understand particle physics. I accept that it exists and that people smarter than me are looking into it and spreading awareness of it, and I’m open to being educated and will not go out of my way to interject my, “you know I just don’t GET particle physics!” ignorant thought into a conversation between particle physicists.

(Anonymous) 2020-01-04 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
They're not saying it doesn't exist. They're saying it's an unnecessary renaming of something that existed already. They were pretty clear about it too -- is english one of those things like particle physics for you?

NAYRT: Arguments that binary and nonbinary trans people had absolutely no place in within bisexual culture prior to, oh, last Wednesday are completely bullshit. It's not a case of not understanding, the people who say we were not a part of building bi activism in the 80s and 90s are just plain wrong.

(Anonymous) 2020-01-05 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
For me, personally, I prefer to say I'm pansexual because I recognize there are more than two genders out there. The prefix "bi-" indicates two. Like a bicycle has two wheels.

I have yet to find a set of genitalia I didn't find attractive, including hermaphroditic ones that were not surgically altered at birth. That also includes fantasy/alien ones, for the record (thank you, Bad Dragon!).

In a nutshell, if a potential partner is 1) capable of informed consent and 2) interested, I'm game.

(Anonymous) 2020-01-05 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Ok Boomer. Language doesn't work that way and nonbinary bi people exist. You can shake your fist at the clouds that the priggish rules you learned in elementary school don't apply, or you can stop weaponizing language against trans people.

Curious how pansexual people make the same arguments about bisexuality that TERFs make about nonbinary and GNC lesbians.

Fucking chaser. What are you doing for me above the waistline?

It is extremely weird to me how, in my lifetime, I've gone from being stereotyped as androgynous, kinky, and insatiably sexual with "anything that moves" to being stereotyped as a cis and heteronormative unicorn hunter who swings on the weekend.

(Anonymous) 2020-01-04 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
As a bisexual person that isn't attracted to transsexuals, I'm peeved when people think I automatically like transsexuals because I like males and females. I like biological males and females in my bedroom. I think liking transsexuals in a sexual manner should be categorized solely under Pansexual.

(Anonymous) 2020-01-05 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
NAYRT: I think if you're shocked, SHOCKED that trans people are part of LGB culture, you've probably been living under a rock for the last 50 years or so.

And it's not about your personal taste in men and women anyway. It's also about talking about anti-bisexual prejudice, which no one gets a free pass out of if our partners are not idealized Ken and Barbie figures.
