me-is-abi:

Please can somebody fully explain pansexuality to me because although I accept anybody who identifies as pan, I don’t fully understand it. I get that it means there’s an attraction to girls, boys, trans girls and boys, nonbinary and everybody but to me that just sounds like bisexuality.. just one that says having an attraction to a trans boy should be different to having one to a cis boy. And with nonbinary, that person will still have male/female body parts. I don’t know. I just need a full blown explanation because I want to be able to fully understand those who identify as pansexual.

First thing first, saying that a transboy is different to a boy is transphobic. A transboy IS a boy (and transgrils are girls)

Now, I’m not bisexual but the usual definition that I see is “attracted to the same gender and different genders” (someone please tell me if i’m wrong here). It means that some bi are only attracted to the gender binary but that others can be attracted to neither boys nor girls.

Pansexuality can both be “attracted to all genders” (wich is me) AND “attracted regardless of gender” (wich still includes everyone). Both definition are correct and still different to bisexuality.

I hope it’s clear, you just have to ask if you want me to explain a little more ^^’
