Pansexual? Is it a real thing or just attention-seeking?

If you're bisexual and not attracted to trans people then that's because you are transphobic and not because of your sexuality.

Trans women are WOMEN. Trans men are MEN. (Trans agender people are agender... and so on.)

If you don't want to date transgender people that's your thing, but don't say it's because you're bisexual and not pansexual. Bisexual people are attracted to two or more genders. The difference between them and pansexual people is that often bisexual people have a preference for a gender. Mostly, pansexual people call themselves pansexual because they don't care about gender at all.

I'd argue that if we're to learn anything from history, it's to be more accepting and less quick to judge. Pretty much the opposite of what you're doing.

Do animals have sex for pleasure? Apparently so...

By your standards we'd never learn anything new - any new concept starts off with one individual, who then persuades or teaches others. Wouldn't the world be hideously dull and stagnant if everyone thought like you?

There is usually some confusion between Bisexuality and Pansexuality. Bisexual means you're attracted to ANY and ALL genders, as opposed to the assumption that because there's 'bi' in the word it means 'two'. There are more than two genders, and it's more of a scale rather than discreet 'types' (But that's for a different topic). Pansexual means you're attracted to someone REGARDLESS of their gender.:

Well the minority consciously engage in sexual pleasure
I disagree, if everyone shared my views then they would be less societal conflicts.
Just saying that there is not much to differentiate between bisexuality with pansexuality.

This is perhaps an ignorant thing to ask, but what is the third gender?? Or fourth/fifth etc.

So you have cis (Your common binary male, female genders), transgender, agender, non-binary, gender-fluid, androgynous, bigender, intersex and so on. It's quite extensive when you start to read about it!

This thread is so ridiculous.. The lack of knowledge in this world is somewhat amusing.
Maybe some people should stop being so judgmental and get on with their own lives rather than accusing people of being attention seeking....

I give up with the human race

Its a sick primitive form of "art" that should have never of been recovered.
Err how can anyone look at that and not feel disgusted

I'm bisexual and I like men and women. Transgendered people, as much as I respect them, don't appeal to me in a sexual way.

Pansexuals seem to not be affected like this and have potential to be attracted to everyone.

I do think it can come across as attention-seeking. But at the end of the day, announcing any sexuality (even if straight) is a way of finding potential partners attention. When I quietly announced I was bisexual, I then got the attention of bisexual and lesbian girls.

For gay/lesbian/bisexuals/asexuals, it's also a way of saying you aren't interested in someone. If you're pansexual, you're simply saying you don't mind and it only comes down to personal preference rather than gender.

So, yes it is attention-seeking, but in a good way.

If you're bisexual and not attracted to trans people then that's because you are transphobic and not because of your sexuality.

I've yet to see the latest census on animals' sexual proclivities 2015, so I think I'll stick with my thoughts with accompanying evidence, rather than your thoughts with accompanying assertions.

I dunno about the conflicts, but I deeply suspect that if I were like you I'd be having significantly less fun, sex and intelligent conversation.

Have you ever identified as bisexual? Have you ever identified as pansexual? Or scrap that, how can you tell me that my sexuality doesn't exist when you blatantly don't have a clue what you're on about?

So you have cis (Your common binary male, female genders), transgender, agender, non-binary, gender-fluid, androgynous, bigender, intersex and so on. It's quite extensive when you start to read about it!

woo someone who knows about genders

Well I'm bisexual.

Transgender isn't a extra gender?! I'm not sure what Pansexuals are specifically however I do know that I've been attracted to Trans people before.

If she/he wants to identify with being Pan, let them. What's the use in turning it into an issue?

I have never once identified with heterosexuality.
I know just as much from my understanding and reserach about sexuality to correlate an argument in again what differentiates between bisexuality and pansexuality?
I mean we live in an open society so why identify with a word that is practically redundant in the real world?
You have some people claim to be pansexual ITT but have failed to explain the full meaning.

Suggest you read, reread, and possibly get some kind of commemorative tattoo of the multiple valid descriptions of pansexuality posted on this thread. The ability to read is somewhat pointless if you fail to take in one jot of the meaning behind it.

People may come out as pansexual due to belief that bisexuality requires binarism and excludes non-binary people. However, the lines between bisexuality and pansexuality are blurred and there are many bisexuals who are attracted to non-binary people as well. Pansexuality is certainly not attention seeking. Why would anyone want to invite anti-LGBT sentiment upon themselves?

what are fauns?

Why does bisexual include the prefix 'bi' then if it refers to more than two? I think the confusion comes in when people on Tumblr ignore the proper definitions of words. It's very simple really:

Asexual = not-sexual
Homosexual = same-sexual or attracted to the same sex
Heterosexual = different-sexual or attracted to the opposite sex
Bisexual = two-sexual or attracted to two sexes or genders
Polysexual = many-sexual or attracted to many sexes or genders
Pansexual = all-sexual or attracted to all sexes and genders

This, of course, doesn't take into account aesthetic, romantic or sensual attraction, but I think that would just overcomplicate matters.
