Re: Question on sexuality- bi/pan/demi

[(Anonymous)]

I'll give it a shot based on what I've gleaned from other people and everyone can feel free to correct me

I think that the difference between bisexuality and pansexuality is that bisexuals are often defined as just being attracted to males and females while pansexuals say they are also attracted to people outside of the gender binary. That's generally the distinction I've seen anyway.

Demisexuals say they are unable to feel sexual attraction to someone unless they know them very well first (which seems like it could apply to a whole lot of people anyway but wtf do I know). Someone else feel free to elaborate on this one.

I had literally never heard this definition before a couple of months ago, especially with people going further and saying that bisexual people are definitionally not attracted to trans* people, and it makes me uncomfortable because that's not at all what I mean when I say I'm bisexual. The distinction as I'd always heard it is that bisexuals are attracted to people of multiple genders and that pansexuals define their attraction as being gender-blind. Which in practice amounts to the same thing mostly, but the thought process is different.

Doesn't anybody wank over a perception that the "pansexual" term as opposed to "bisexual" means that trans people aren't REALLY the men or women they identify as? And does anyone who identifies as bisexual ever rule out trans people?

I also find "demisexual" a rather problematic concept, as I'm fairly sure that nobody, straight, gay, bi, pan, whatever would say that they DON'T "love the person".

I'm not sure if there's wank about it (probably somewhere?) but I can kind of understand where they're coming from if there is. Trans man = man, trans woman = woman. Which is still two genders. Obviously some people feel like neither men or women, and I guess in that case a term that includes people outside the binary is helpful, but I don't see where "bi" doesn't include trans people.

And yeah, I have issues with demisexuality as a concept as well. I'm pretty sure there are a ton of people (maybe even most people? at least that aren't only into casual sex) that feel the way demisexuals do. I don't know that it really needs a separate word.
