Any pansexuals here? Anyone?

[Kelai_Caberin]

If having homosexual feelings is the minority, than evidently being pansexual is the minority of that. I have only spoken to one other pan in my life in the Gaia GLBTQ thread.

Anyone else here identify as pansexual? Or even know what it is?

Quote:

Pansexuals differ from bisexuals in that they are attracted to not just men and women, but also transgendered, androgynous and gender fluid persons.

"Pansexuals have the capability of attraction to others regardless of their gender identity or biological sex. A pansexual could be open to someone who is male, female, transgender, intersex, or agendered/genderqueer." - Queers United, Diversity Lesson 101: Pansexuality

"Pansexuality is attraction on a more spiritual level, one might say, and focuses on who the target of affection is, rather than "what," as do other sexualities." - Urban Dictionary

I suppose I could be considered pansexual since I have been attracted to MTF transgendered people before in the past. Honestly, I look into the person and I have to click with them. I think that's more important than gender. cool

I suppose you could consider me a pansexual.

I consider myself as pansexual, because of my love for people and not just boys and/or girls. I'm someone who admires inner beauty than gender.

I am!

At one point I thought I was bisexual, as I've only felt attraction for either men or women, but when I found out what pansexuality was, I felt that I identify with that orientation more than I do bisexual, which is limited to the gender binary.

Thats how it was for me as well. 3nodding

When asked, I tend to go by bisexual simply because nobody knows what a pansexual is, and I don't feel like explaining it. Around people who know about pansexuality (generally LGBT, I want to believe everyone knows), I'm pan.

For the record, I don't quite view transsexuals into "outside of gender binary", since - being one myself - I don't judge a person's sex to match their genitals, and therefore, view transpeople as sex A/B with a birth defect affecting their genitalia. Much like with a man who lost his p***s in an accident or a woman whose v****a was removed due to cancer, they are still men and women to me, without the usual genitalia.
I'm pansexual because I can also be attracted to genderless people and benders, and basically just can't be arsed with the physical sexual traits of the person that much.

Hmm, I like your view on that. I've learned my life-lesson for the day 3nodding

I haven't really taken into consideration the trans aspect because it's not really in my life, but I consider myself "genderqueer" so I'm accepting of/attracted to the people who don't fit the gender binary.  

[cvbkfgbkjmgbcj]

not one personally, but i came across quite a few in the introductory thread

Haha. I was afraid I came off too bitchy about it as that wasn't my purpose, but it was hard to put in any other form, lol.
I find androgynous and mix-'n-match type of people actually quite charming, usually more so than people falling (too) strictly into the binary.  

[Shanna66]

im pansexual but i hate calling myself pan because of how many annoying people also call themselves pansexual, plus i hate explaining what it is all the time so i just call myself bi

the only reason im pan though is because i really just dont care about gender at all and dont care about sex too much either. its not that im open, its just that i dont care  

[Centipedes In Utero]

I know a few pansexuals in the LD, actually.
