Who ever wrote this is ignorant as fuck. You obviously know nothing about sexuality. It’s not the same thing, wanna know why? As someone who’s Transgendered I’ve been turned down by girls who are bisexual based on my gender identity. Not all bisexual girls are comfortable dating a girl with a penis. Gender and orientation is so much more complicated than the labels we throw on them. Fuck it, here’s a lesson in Gender Studies 101. And sorry if I make any mistakes as I’m not an expert.
Gender Identities:
- Cisgender/Females/Males (People who identify as their biological sex.)
- Transwomen/Transmen (People who identify with the opposite gender.)
- Intersexed/Hermaphrodite (Born biologically both genders.)
- Crossdresser/Femboy/Butchgirl (Someone who identifies as cisgender but denies the social gender norms.)
- Gender-Fluid/BiGender (Someone who identifies with different genders and switches between them.)
- Genderqueer/Androgynous/Third Gender (Someone who doesn’t identify with gender at all or someone who simultaneously has both gender characteristics.)
Sexual Orientations:
- Straight (Attracted to opposite sex.)
- Gay/Lesbian (Attracted to same sex.)
- Heteroflexible (Attracted to opposite sex with flexibility.)
- Homoflexible (Attracted to same sex with flexibility.)
- Fluctuating/Evolving/Curious (Someone who’s attraction isn’t certain and developing.)
- Asexual (Someone who’s not attracted to any gender.)
- Bisexual (Someone who’s attracted to females and males)
- Pansexual (Someone who doesn’t see gender or isn’t important to them.)
Not to mention there’s things like “panromantic” who’s someone romantically attracted to all genders but may differ sexually. Romace and sexuality aren’t always congruent. But I’m not getting into that list. I need sleep. Personally, I’m a transgirl who’s homoflexible romantically. But sexually I’m still evolving and may be more open to the male sex. But when it comes to sexuality, I’m complicated as fuck.
There are most certainly people who claim to be panseuxal and don’t even understand the word. That may make them seem like a special little snowflake. But if you wouldn’t date someone because they’re a guy with a vagina, or because they’re a boy who likes to wear makeup. You’re probably not pansexual. But fuck it, why do we force labels on something so complex that most of us don’t even understand?
wrong
incorrect
bisexual does not mean attracted to females and males it means attracted to at least two genders
- says a nonbinary/genderfluid person who identifies as both pansexual and bisexual because they are both accurate descriptions of my sexuality
not to mention crossdresser just isn’t a gender identity, it’s just how people dress, also trans people can be crossdressers too
and pansexual means that you are attracted to people regardless of gender. it doesn’t necessarily mean that you don’t see gender.
and hermaphrodite is offensive and you should never call someone that unless that’s what they want to be called. intersex also doesn’t have anything to do with gender, it describes chromosomes and/or phenotypes that fall out of the binary of ‘biological sex’, but this may not be the best description, i don’t know.
there is also no such thing as “both genders”, I would not describe my gender as having “both gender characteristics”. ‘third gender’ is also an anthropological term describing nonbinary genders in non-western societies that should only be reclaimed by people from those societies. in that sense it is similar to two-spirit which should only be used by native americans.
