Heya. So, I get it. I get why people don’t understand the difference because at first, it does sound the same.

Bisexuality: being attracted to both the male and female gender

Pansexuality: being attracted to people regardless of their gender.

You might say that’s the same, right? But pansexuality is different because there’s also an attraction to people who identify as androgynous, transsexual etc. 

Some people who consider themselves bisexual aren’t unable to fall for someone who identifies as androgynous, trans, etc, though, which might make things more difficult. But with bisexuality, there’s mostly a preference or difference between falling for one of the many genders (imo gender is a scale and male and female are either ends of the scale). I identify as bisexual but am able to get attracted to androgynous/trans/etc people. Does that make me pansexual? That is a tough question because the difference isn’t always clear. I think it’s way more about yourself and the way you identify than about the difference between pansexual and bisexual. 

So there is, in fact, a difference, and I think there should be. Saying there’s no difference is literally telling people that the image they have of themselves is wrong, doesn’t exist, and that they should identify as something they don’t feel like. 

i have a few problems with your answer, im not bi so i dont wanna talk over your experience of your orientation but im pan & nb/trans so i can speak for those parts. i know some pan people (myself included) prefer the “attracted to all genders” definition to the “regardless of” one because that’s what the root pan means (all) and pan peeps can have preferences. also im guessing that by androgyne you meant non binary people? androgyne is a non binary gender but not the only one. honestly those are small nitpicks so it’s whatever. you also used “transsexual”, trans actually stands for transgender (though older trans people tend to use it, you can’t force the term on others without their immediate permition). its also a question of terminology but that word can make some trans peeps unconfortable. now i do have a bigger problem with the breakdown of the genders. you seperated man & woman from trans wich is transphobic. a transman is a man and a transwoman is a woman in the same way that a cisman is a man and a ciswoman a woman. so all bi peeps can be attracted to trans peeps (unless theyre transphobic). im not saying you yourself are but the way you phrased things is. i dont mean to sound rude, i just wanted to let you know so you’re aware of those few things in the future!

alright so, seriously, if there’s anyone not transphobic it’s me but I know I can’t “use” that as a reason because you don’t know me and can’t trust me on that, I know, but for anyone who does know me reading this I do hope they understand?
(Also small disclaimer that might not have to do anything with this, but English isn’t my first language so wording and phrasing can get confusing to me sometimes, just fyi).

Yes, I should’ve used “cis male/female” instead of “male/female” obviously, I wasn’t trying to seperate transgender from male/female though by simply mentioning it apart from it can imply that, which is just stupid from my part.

My “etc” means anyone who does not refer as cis male or female. So no, with androgynous I do not mean non binary people exactly because I don’t want to force any terminology on anyone.

And I’m not saying that you’re like this, this is just for anyone else reading this thinking I’m transphobic or phobic to any gender, sexuality or just person in general. I find that on tumblr people have the tendency to get oversensitive about this and I understand that, but please, do not try to drag the “wrongly phrased” or “small mistakes” out of people’s words and get angry about that.
As long as the post isn’t plainly rude, the intentions will probably be good. Questions are often attacted while I just see someone wanting to learn. I once read a post saying “please do not lose the people that will stand up for you because they understood something wrong or mixed something up by mistake”. To anyone being offended or hurt by my phrasing, I’ve been into endless fights with family, friends, teachers, strangers, literally anyone, defending what they were being phobic or rude about.

(Like I said, I don’t mean you with that, I just wanted to mention this too)

i completely trust you on that, i honestly don’t think you yourself are transphobic (or anything-phobic). english isnt my first language either so my grammar & wording can be weird, i wouldnt mind at all rephrasing stuff if needed. its an honest mistake, i’ve seen lots of people make it with perfectly good intentions. like you see how that phrasing can be offensive so it’s not a big deal at all to me. i didnt notice the “etc” before i reblogged so its entirely on me. i obviously can’t speak for everyone in the community but i feel like your phrasing was definitely more inclusive than i originally read it as. ye i really don’t like call-out culture either and immediately making assumptions about someone based on phrasing, etc. i still find it important to point out stuff that can be offensive as long as it’s not in an angry way and it’s respectful. i really hope my reblog won’t attract you any hate also, i dont think i have a big enough influence on here for that but people do tend to be more confortable replying to/reblogging something when there has been other replies/reblogs. like i do trust that you speak up against discriminations whenever you can and i dont really see the point in attacking you for that one post.
