THIS. ANNOYS ME. SO MUCH. THAT THIS IS THE RECOMMENDED RESPONSE. ON GOOGLE.

Bisexuality does not instantly equal binary. It does not mean we are solely attracted to cisgender men and women. Bisexuality does not mean we are transphobic or avoid relationships with intersex, genderqueer, transgender, dual gender, etc

I find a lot of people saying “pansexuality is more spiritual and we don’t care about genitalia like SOME people” NO. NO. Being bisexual does not equal “I love genitalia more then someone’s personality” I have every respect for pansexual people, and there are plenty of pansexual people and their supporters who don’t think like this, but those that do REALLY FUCKING BUG ME.

THIS IS NOT THE DIFFERENCE. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO ISN’T “ONE IS BINARY AND PHOBIC OF OTHER GENDERS AND THE OTHER IS ALL ACCEPTING AND LOVING AND SHIT”.
If you ask my opinion as someone who has identified as bisexual for quite a while now there are two points to this argument:

1. stop fucking making a big deal out of how someone labels themselves. If they’re asking for your help fine. But if they want to be labelled as bisexual, pansexual, demisexual, asexual, lithosexual, demiromantic, aromatic, biromantic, panromantic, lithoromantic whatever they freaking want, ITS NOT YOUR FUCKING JOB TO LABEL THEM DIFFERENTLY OR QUESTION THEM ON IT. THEY DON’t HAVE TO ENTERTAIN YOUR IDEA OF WHAT THEY SHOULD AND SHOULDN’T BE.

2. Now while I can’t speak for anyone, I think for me the difference between bisexual isn’t the bullshit above, but rather that pansexuals are ‘genderblind’ as in in gender doesn’t really freaking matter to them, whereas bisexuals enjoy aspects of femininity and masculinity, not necessarily just in cisgender men and women, but it doesn’t mean that they’re inherently against anything that isn’t defined under masculinity or femininity. Essentially, like a combination of gynesexuality and androsexuality NOT A FUCKING BINARY CODE THAT MAKES THEM INHERENTLY AGAINST OTHER GENDERS OUTSIDE OF CIS OKAY?!

Now can we all stop fucking throwing a fit over this and go home and accept people for who they are rather then labelling them and pointing fingers!?

Pansexuality isn’t only “genderblind”. It’s true for a part of the community but I personnaly ID with the “attracted to all genders” def.

Otherwise all of you’re saying is so true that I’m worried some people still thinks like that.

Oh I definitely still believe it’s a part of the community! I’m just annoyed with the whole bi vs pan thing and bisexuals being called transphobic! :) Pansexuality is still a part of the community though!
It feels a lot like people are trying to divide different sexualities and vs them and make each other look bad rather then discussing it calmly and accepting what people are

And I totally agree with you! Calling bi transphobic is the same as calling female hetero mysoginistic, wich is to say stupid. But you’ve already explained that very well ^^
