Re: why is pansexuality ok and demisexuality not?

No, I don't. I reached puberty in a decade where bisexual was a layman's term and defined differently.

So here you are, mouthing off to people who have been a part of the community for over two decades saying that we've been doing it wrong for over 20 years?

Here's a hint. The larger world barely understands queer, and it certainly doesn't understand pansexuality. The reality of the world is anti-bisexual prejudice and discrimination.

I'm not pansexual, and I've identified as bisexual for 10 years. You've obviously identified as it for much longer, but we are clearly from different eras and you believe that nothing at all has changed from yours- on either side of the issue.

Discrimination is real, but things have, in general, become much better for people like us from the "lying diseased fudgepacker" days. By leaps and bounds. If you can't see that then I don't think you ever will. Times change.

Dan Savage is still making excuses to attack us, and the Bailey study that said we don't exist was only a few years ago. I still can't give blood. My relationships are still second-class in most of the United States, and I still see the same old stereotypes expressed.

SA as above ^

Oops! I mean, I don't identify with the label "pansexual." By "bisexual" I do mean I am open to every type of gender identity, as you define it. However that is not how I see "bisexual" used any more outside of academic or retro-political circles, and most people mistake me for only liking cismen and ciswomen.
