#pansexuality only exists to call bisexuals transphobic

Wow. Yeah. Definitely. That’s the only reason. To insult other people. It has absolutely nothing to do with how I personally identify and what words I like to use.

you can call yourself whatever you like, but i’ve never met a pansexual who ever described their preference for the term in a way that wasn’t biphobic so i hope you’ll forgive me if i’m a little suspicious of people who use the term “pansexual” 

Of course you can be suspicious (no forgiveness required). And of course I can call myself whatever I like.  I’m saddened and sorry you’ve had bad experiences, but I just found that a very sweeping and pretty hurtful statement.

i don’t particularly care tbh it was kind of meant to be

i get that you’re trying to play nice here, but i’m just really not interested in sparing your feelings, when frankly, the existence of pansexuality has just made it more difficult to identify as bisexual.

now on top of being “greedy” or “pretending” or “going through a phase” or “needing to pick a side” NOW now i also am apparently “oppressive” and “excluding trans* people”. all of this just by being who i am — a person who, by the way, is none of the above, and also completely erases the fact that i am a bisexual person who identifies as genderqueer which puts me on the trans* spectrum. 

so yeah, i don’t give a crap until you actually manage to say something about pansexuality that doesn’t simultaneously talk shit on bisexuality and ignore that trans* bisexuals actually exist.

I’ve been calling myself Bi for … Hell… 15 years. Honestly, I see no difference in my attraction to cis-women or trans-women. Women are women, men are men, and people who don’t have a pronoun can be just as sexy as people who do.
Just because I identify as “bi” does not make me trans-phobic.
