Re: why is pansexuality ok and demisexuality not?

[cbrachyrhynchos]

What it means now to the general population is that I'm an infected, deceptive, fudge-packing, faggot.

No? It's not quite the 80s any more, the whole queer people have AIDS thing is muuuuch less prevalent. At least with people under 40, IDK.

Either way, what a word is taken to mean literally and how people judge those the word applies to aren't remotely the same thing and not a fair comparison to make.

Either way, what a word is taken to mean literally and how people judge those the word applies to aren't remotely the same thing and not a fair comparison to make.

Of course it's a fair comparison to make. See that last sentence. There is not a single word in there that you interpret "literally" according to its etymological history. It's all about context and community. Probably the only person in our recent cultural history to use the word "bisexual" by it's literal meaning was Bones during the episode "The Trouble with Tribbles."

So which definitions matter here, I go with this one that I found when I first came out, and used to come out of the closet myself back in the 1990s:

Bisexuality is a whole, fluid identity. Do not assume that bisexuality is binary or duogamous in nature: that we have "two" sides or that we must be involved simultaneously with both genders to be fulfilled human beings. In fact, don’t assume that there are only two genders. Do not mistake our fluidity for confusion, irresponsibility, or an inability to commit. Do not equate promiscuity, infidelity, or unsafe sexual behavior with bisexuality. Those are human traits that cross all sexual orientations. Nothing should be assumed about anyone’s sexuality, including your own.

Thank you.

Except there are a boatload of people who aren't under 40 still wobbling around the planet. I didn't realize conflating homosexual behavior with HIV/AIDS was still a thing until I mentioned to my mom that my (gay) chiropractor had lost a lot of weight because he stopped eating wheat. She honest to god said, "Are you sure it's really because of the wheat and not because he's [sorry, this is so freaking cringeworthy] doing the whole AIDS thing?" NO MOM, HE CHANGED HIS DIET. BECAUSE DIETS WORK ON GAY PEOPLE TOO.
