Re: why is pansexuality ok and demisexuality not?

I don't think anyone is accusing bi people of being transphobic? People are saying the term "bisexual" will sometimes be read/intended as "cis men and cis women only," and is being used by a lot of transphobic people, which is a problem and which is making "bisexual" a label that some people avoid, opting to go for "pan" instead- not accusing all bisexual person of being phobic by using the label. Then bisexual people are taking it as an attack on them, and thinking all bisexuals are being called transphobic when they're not.

Even if a person is only attracted to cispeople, they aren't transphobic they merely aren't sexually attracted, anyways.

I guess my problem is that most of the pansexual people I've encountered have been on tumblr, where it seemed like they started identifying as pan to show how accepting they were and then declared that bi people were enforcing the gender binary and also transphobic for saying there were only two genders to be attracted to. I know nobody in this thread was saying that but that's what I've seen more often than the situation you described.

This. I'm not assuming that bi people are any more trans-excluding and/or transphobic than the general population, I'm just not assuming that they're any less.
