    That’s super interesting and totally does not at all reflect the conversations I’ve had with my friends!

    I guess it just goes to show how subjective it is, which is why there is no real consensus. I can only really speak for myself and the people in my circles. I won’t argue with bisexual/pansexual people who identify differently because we dictate our own identities really.

    Kinda!

    The way I’d personally word it is:

    Bisexual = attracted to their own gender and other genders (perhaps not every gender but that depends on the person)

    Pansexual = gender is irrelevant

    The distinction is mostly semantic as it doesn’t really change much in terms of how we operate in dating.

    As someone who identifies as pansexual, the distinction i make is that I don’t consider gender when vetting a potential partner, it’s just not a metric that is part of that decision.

    Aside from that, your description here is spot on from what I understand at least. Of course gender and sexuality is a social construct so other people may feel differently















  • Why are you taking offense to someone saying your lifestyle sounds terrible to them? They’re not saying you must be unhappy, just that they don’t want to live that way.

    I don’t want kids, and I’m sure those with kids that they wanted are very happy, and I’m glad there are people for whom that is a happy life because it wouldn’t be to me.

    Gotta edit my comment to say I was totally being autistic and completely missed your joke on the first pass, my bad!
