"I genuinely don't understand how pansexuality differs from bisexual, especially not in any practical sense. " It's a sexual orientation, it's not meant to be practical. "Looking for" is the practical information. | |||

"I genuinely don't understand how pansexuality differs from bisexual, especially not in any practical sense. " There's more combinations of genitals and genders than just the usual binary. I'm pansexual. I don't care if someone is a man with a vagina, a woman with a dick or any other combination. If there's a connection and attraction, I'm good to go. | |||

People who call themselves pansexual are bisexual people who want to appear special. | |||

"I genuinely don't understand how pansexuality differs from bisexual, especially not in any practical sense. " A pansexual is attracted to humans regardless of what ever variation of the many genders there are. A bisexual is attracted ONLY to either of two genders. e.g. a bisexual will be attracted to a man or a woman. a pansexual will be attracted to :- a man, a woman, a gay man, a gay woman, a transexual, a transvestite, a straight person , a bisexual person , a pansexual person, an hermaphrodite , a lady boy and uhmmmmm any more you might think of. 'Pan' is the key here. Bi is the key in the word bisexual. | |||

'Pan' is the key here. Bi is the key in the word bisexual." This is what I was going to put, can't make it more clearer. Gender has no role in who I am attracted to I would never dismiss anyone due to how they identify it's the person the personality and chemistry that gets me turned not the gender or if they have dicks or pussy or did have one and not. I'm not being special at all I like everyone for who they are. Bi sexual to me is that they like men or women only. Pansexual is they like everyone. | |||

"Should there be a pan sexual option on here? There must be a few pan people on here where gay/bi/straight doesn't cut it. Any thoughts?" There should be a lot of changes to sexuality options. It's been a constant request for years. Never going to change. If it's not broke don't fix it... | |||

"The term bisexual is not transphobic. The definition of bisexual is attraction to more than one gender and does not exclude trans people. It offends me when others claim differently. " The term isn't transphobic and most bi people aren't transphobic. Some though.... | |||

"Not matter how you identify, you either have a vagina or a penis, so by that logic it would fit into the bisexual description in the dictionary. People are attracted to someone regardless of the physical characteristic they have." No. It wouldn't fit into the bisexual description unless the entire human race was cis..... Gender/sexuality has not been black and white or 1 and 2 or A and B since time immemorial, though denied, and for decades in a more open society. A bi sexual woman for e.g. might not enter into a relationship with someone who has transed from one gender to another and vice versa.... a bi sexual male might not be attracted to a woman who began life as a male... A pansexual would consider both of these as their primary criteria is the person. | |||

"Pansexual is for people who tend to think that etymology is the only basis for language and its definition. Basically it was brought about because someone thought that bi was transphobic (it’s not). Bisexuality has never excluded other genders, pansexual doesn’t mean you fancy everyone. It’s basically the same thing but; semantics, and internet people have too much time on their hands " This isn't true - pansexuality is an exonym, originally used to describe people in the gay scene who didn't seem to care what gender anyone else was. This was then adopted by people who wanted to emphasise that gender is not an important component of their sexuality. Identifying as bisexual is not transphobic, and believing that has never really formed a basis of what pansexuality means for most people. | |||

Just because you have a penis and think you're a woman and I don't think you're a woman but a trans woman doesn't make me transphobic, Kay. I also don't think I'm being condescending, just stating my opinions. | |||

I definitely am attracted to (trans) women who by definition began life as a male but I still maintain pansexual is just bisexual with bells. I could insist people call me a gynosexual but again, that's just a bisexual with extras. | |||

" Just because you have a penis and think you're a woman and I don't think you're a woman but a trans woman doesn't make me transphobic, Kay. I also don't think I'm being condescending, just stating my opinions." I started at 49 after 30 years of believing I wasn't allowed. I know I can only identify as a trans woman, it's a point of pride to live my life as a visibly trans woman. But trans isn't the most important part of the phrase for me. It's just an adverb, like black or blonde or fat or skinny. I don't "believe" I'm a woman, I am a woman who happens to be trans, I also happen to be a middle aged woman and a chubby woman and a kinky woman. If you need that adverb there, that's not my business. Look me in the eye and treat me like a woman, we're all golden. Quoting dictionary definitions like you think I need to be told the meaning of the words I use, asking facetiously if I can see a difference in those definitions? Textbook condescension. | |||
