#idesexuality

Hi, anon. Thank you for asking! I have a post about it that explains it here: https://idesexual-space.tumblr.com/post/161867434576/idesexual-what-does-it-mean

Idesexuality is the attraction to people individually where gender is not a factor. The “idea” of a person, their abstract qualities, character or, as many would describe,“personality.” Usually defined by a lack of physical preferences or not experiencing/comprehending gendered attraction. 

I created the term as I felt there needed to be a split with some of the ongoing discourse about which definition of pansexual the community should use and if having two different definitions was superflous. You might be aware that pan means attraction to all genders or attraction irregardless of gender depending who you ask. The former, being the most widespread and accepted in recent years. 

So, as my blog description details, it is basically the second definition of pansexual given a new name. But, I do intend for it to be used as its own, valid orientation and not a modifier or under the pan umbrella. A phrase like “hearts not parts” (although some may find that transphobic), “liking who you like,” or being “gender blind” could also encapsulate the meaning.
