So do the TIBB's Bi's consider themselves pansexual (attracted to both female and males and any gender identiy?

"Pansexuality may be considered a sexual orientation in its own right or a subset of bisexuality, to indicate an alternative sexual identity.[3][6][7] Because pansexual people are open to relationships with people who do not identify as strictly men or women, and pansexuality therefore rejects the gender binary, the "notion of two genders and indeed of specific sexual orientations",[3][7] it is often considered a more inclusive term than bisexual.[8][9] To what extent the term bisexual is inclusive when compared to the term pansexual is debated within the LGBT community, especially the bisexual community.[9]"

I'm bisexual but kind of would consider myself Pansexual as I have fancied Transgender etc. people.

I'd never identify as a pansexual, I find the term a bit cringeworthy in all honesty.

I consider myself to be trisexual. Because I'll try anything once.

yeah, I thought it was considered bisexual to like other types of people apart from men and women.

I thought Pansexual was when you love people but don't want to have a sexual relationship.

Sounds like a USA term

Not one of these threads again...

They are two completely different things. The clues are in the name, bi means two (i.e. the gender binary) so bisexuals are attracted to both men and women.

Pansexuals can be attracted to people outside of the gender binary, and see gender as irrelevant when it comes to attraction. Since bisexuals are only attracted to two genders, gender is not irrelevant to them.

Why are there so many of these threads of late? Why must people have to define themselves with any sexuality and put so much focus on doing so?

I agree we should be free to love who we want, regardless of gender.

I 100% agree.

For all my views on gender and sexuality, ironically I believe they shouldn't be a thing because it'd save so many problems

If people didn't have to categorise themselves into sexualities when it's a spectrum anyway, and the same thing with gender, then the world would be a lot more inclusive, liberal and tolerant place.

Act how you want to act, dress how you want to dress, like who you want to like. Live and let live. Humans' obsessions with categorising things to make sense of them is sadly one of the most detrimental things to society.

I'm straight with many kinks and an overall curve.

I always thought that pansexuals were obese greedy bastards who were in love with the frying pan.

Stop Moaning Ben

People are obsessed with saying "Stop using labels and gender stereotypes it's offending me" only to then go off and invent 50 new genders and sexualities for Facebook. Standing up against labels whilst creating more of them and exacerbating the problem.

God, get over yourself already. No one cares that much about where you stick your genitals.

There's a difference between 'labels' (self-descriptors) and insults disguised as labels.

I don't understand the 'dont label things omg!' mentality because if someone wants to define their sexuality in a way that makes it easier to understand for other people, then what's the issue really?

I don't have an issue tbh. I don't care.

I was talking more about the people who seem to "campaign" on social media about getting rid of labels and the need to categorise everyone into groups but then they are the ones making the gender list on Facebook longer than War and Peace.

To be fair, I think they're two different groups of people. And both of them have very valid ideas

In an ideal world we'd be rid of all kinds of categorisation, you could just like who you want to like and it wouldn't need a label, and gender wouldn't need to be a thing, you could just act how you want to act and people wouldn't have to be segregated because of it, but sadly the human obsession with labelling things to make sense of them means that isn't going to happen anytime soon, so in the meantime the best course of action is to make labels as inclusive and open as possible

Well that makes somewhat more sense.

I don't think they're the same people, but if they are then I agree it seems like a huge contradiction

[Crimson Dynamo]
