Yeah, I consider myself straight, but I still din't undertstand the 'if you're bisexual you're not attracted to trans people and you're transphobic scum' Even though the fact that they're trans could make the whole sex thing kinda complicated at first, I don't understand why a bi person wouldn't be attracted to someone of either sex. I've heard of situations where someone realized they were trans and their significant other was totally cool with it because they were bi and also, one of my good friends is trans and in a relationship with someone who identifies as exclusively gay. What's the big deal anyway?

'if you're bisexual you're not attracted to trans people and you're transphobic scum'
What?!? Is this for real?? Can anyone explain this because it sounds pretty fucking terrible.

A lot of pansexual people say they're pan because they're attracted to trans people as well, so any bi people who didn't make the jump to pan when it became a popular label must be transphobic something something gender binary blah blah blah. It's ridiculous.

isn't that like saying trans people don't actually belong in their gender so straight people couldn't possible be attracted to them??? Doesn't anyone listen to themselves??

Only when they want to hear the sound of their own voice. So like, all the time.

Not to mention, 'bisexual' requires a lot less explanation than 'pansexual'. I already get lectured on how I should 'make up my mind', or how I'm 'straight now' or 'was only bicurious' because I'm married and monogamous. I don't need another argument.

Amen to that.
Why make life even harder for yourself by using a different label that just boils down to "bi" again?

I don't know about other pansexuals, but I know that when it comes up, I tell people I'm bi. The nuances that separate bi from pan are only important to me, and they are subtle enough that most people don't understand the difference. I've explained it to a few people that I think might get the difference (my fiance, my best friend, etc), but to most people, I don't make it an issue.

It's not about making your life harder or easier, its about trying to understand how your own mind works. For me at least.

I often wonder if those people realize they're saying trans people aren't male or female at all, as if every single trans person is part of some other gender, and that is what makes me side-eye them so freakin' hard. Cause that is pretty damn offensive and grade A+ missing the point.

You put my thing into words! As a bisexual woman, I don't think of a trans* man or woman as any less man or woman than a non trans* person, why should I? If you identify as one gender (or none, or both) I will respect it, and if I find you attractive I will be okay with dating you!

(Anonymous) 2013-09-10 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Right?! A trans woman isn't a woman? That's a ridiculous distinction to me, and hurtful in and of itself.
