Sexuality Series Part III: Pansexuality

Anonymous said: Could you do a discussion series about the different genders and sexual identities? Maybe one at a time to get more in depth, with a question and answer period devote to each of them. I sometimes have questions about things I’m not familiar with, but am afraid to go to someone with that experience for fear of being accidentally disrespectful and then being belittled or chastised for it…

Another Anon said: The difference between pansexuality and bisexuality? Or just pansexuality in general?

Sure thing, Anon(s)! Pansexuality is attraction REGARDLESS of gender. There has been some talk in the queer community about the terms “pan” and “bi.” You can read more about this discussion here. 

Ultimately, some people use bisexual and pansexual interchangeably and some don’t. As long as you’re inclusive of everyone outside of the gender binary and respectful of people’s personal journeys, call yourself whatever the heck you want to! Bi, pan, queer…or all of the above!

PART OF THIS SERIES IS ABOUT STARTING A DIALOGUE ABOUT SEXUALITY AND GENDER. 

Do you have questions about pansexuality? 

Do you have additions or revisions to MY understanding of pansexuality? 

Maybe you have suggestions on which sexuality or gender I should cover next! 

Maybe you have questions about life in general! 

Visit my ask so that I can share your thoughts in this series, give advice on something else entirely, or start a whole new series to answer your question!

When you see it from the side, it looks like a grumpy old nose-breather with a bat in the cave.

Like when someone has no idea they got a boogie hangin’… and it bobs up and down.
