...just going with the thread title question and in my own humble opinion...I would say that it would definitely be felt as being tangible to someone who didn’t feel that bisexual completely described who they were...but it would also surely be part of and within the descriptive of bisexual as well so (not fad exactly)...but maybe felt less tangible to have as a separate to bisexual...I mean, sexuality in terms of ‘labels’ or descriptives is surely finding something that we all feel more exactly or perfectly describes us as individuals and it really is a personal thing and I don’t really ever understand why some don’t accept or like a particular sexuality someone feels they are...red is red, why can’t we just have red...why do we have to have cerise, or scarlet or burgundy..they’re all red, why can’t they just BE red....because it’s not felt that red is an accurate enough description when there are differences in reds...?...why can’t a lettuce just be a lettuce, I mean it’s a lettuce so why does it have to be a Little Gem or a Rocket or whatever...why, why, why, why, why...with sexuality so little is accepted but rather it’s questioned when really there is tangibility if that person feels a sexuality describes who they are...

Also the same people to attack pansexuals for who they are and call them attention seekers or whatever are usually the first to say we should accept everyone for whi they are

[Moniqua]

you're all such disappointments

Why does being straight or gay need a label? People are free to identify as how every they feel they are and its nobodies business but their own

Because homosexual and heterosexual (and bisexual) are descriptors for things which ha e a basis in biological reality. I agree that people can identify as they like, I can call myself King of Oliverland

[Denver]

Its just stuck up people feeling they have the right to bully and belittle people based on there sexuality

[Withano]

Love that we live in a society where people are literally sexually attracted to cars or animals or inanimate objects

But pansexuality is incomprehensible to some - lol get over it

To be fair, such people are also crazy.

But you still acknowledge that sexual attraction to those things are plausible...

Just odd that you can’t fathom pansexuality after comprehending far more unusual things

I can fathom it, and it's just another way to say "bisexual"

Maybe... for someone that sucks at accurate adjectives. Otherwise no.

[Livia]

Who cares? We have enough labels.

[Tom4784]

It all comes under the bisexual umbrella, really.

How big is the umbrella?

I literally don’t care, call yourself what you want it doesn’t effect me in the slightest if someone feels more comfortable using one term more than another then fair enough

This is my thoughts on it too.

I still don't get why people care? If someone wants to say they are bisexual, pansexual or demisexual....why does anyone else care? Why can't they have that label? Why should they conform to something they don't believe they are?

Well it doesn't matter, I don't care per say, people can call themselves what they like but pansexual has as much validity as someone saying they're gingersexual ... Neither are actual sexualities, but people can still call themselves it.

To someone who identifies as pansexual it has validity. Who gets to decide what what is valid and what isn't?

And someone who identifies as gingersexual would see that as valid.

No-one needs to "decide" anything, the descriptors for the three types of sexuality are perfectly fine. One is either attracted to the opposite sex, the same sex, or both sexes. If people want to add random qualifiers like "I'm only sexually attracted to people I like the personality of" or "I don't care if a man identifies as a woman" that's up to them, but it doesn't change their sexuality. Any more than someone who likes gingers of both genders would need their own label.

Shall we try again in 2023?

[caprimint]

Not sure. It really depends how specific you want to be.

[smudgie]

Not a clue, but it doesn’t really matter does it?

[Swan]

It's a social media attention seeking fad. Just like most others.

People can say what they like and identify as they wish, fine. But in reality, you either like men, you like women, you like both, or you don't like either.
