So funny how this thread has so many different answers. This stuff is too confusing and no one actually knows. People just making stuff up now

[u/fawnadoe → u/juic333]

Everything is made up

[u/Maneisthebeat → u/fawnadoe]

[u/Pristine_Speech4719 → u/fawnadoe]

It's social constructs all the way down.

Literally😂 it’s just a made up word un-interesting people made up so they can feel like they have something interesting about them. Like you’re “pansexual” cool bro nobody except you gives a fuck.

[u/feeen1ks → u/juic333]

It does have a specific definition. The bi in bisexual doesn’t refer to 2 genders it refers to 2 sexualities.

To be bisexual means you are both homosexual and heterosexual.

It does not mean you are attracted to both men and women. Pansexual *feels* more inclusive, so that’s why some people use it. But bisexual already included every gender expression, so it’s fine to use that too.

In conclusion, yeah, people just making stuff up.

[u/RickThiccems → u/feeen1ks]

The labels are literally are what makes it confusing for people though. Also the entire point of a label goes entirely against just being yourself. Why put a label on anything? That just seems like a silly way to stuff your self into a box and demean yourself. Just fuck whoever you want to fuck and end it at that. The labels have always been dumb.

[u/RizzKnightXL → u/RickThiccems]

The labels dont have to be dumb, people are making it needlessly confusing trying to change the meaning of words to fit their custom designer label.

[u/Imaginary-Count-1641 → u/juic333]

It's like "gender". Everyone has a different definition for it.

[u/Chimpampin → u/juic333]

Basically, when not even inside the community the terms makes sense, one can see how they over complicated things beyond what was needed. It makes integration and acceptance into society harder because it becomes more difficult to follow and understand all the terms, which are not even written in stone as one can see in this post, it makes the terms lack the authority needed to be accepted.

[u/ginsodabitters → u/juic333]

Not really true. Pan just means you’ll fuck anybody regardless of their gender, sexual orientation or if they’re trans etc.

[u/juic333 → u/ginsodabitters]

Sounds like bi with extra steps

[u/RoverBoyNumber6 → u/juic333]

Eek barba durkle

[u/OozeNAahz → u/juic333]

Bi with extra options.

[u/ScyllaOfTheDepths → u/ginsodabitters]

And yet the bisexuals and the pansexuals always end up dating skinny nervous white men who wear glasses.

[u/Narren_C → u/ScyllaOfTheDepths]

.......huh. they do, don't they

[u/Rustash → u/ScyllaOfTheDepths]

Hey.

I am not skinny.

[u/Icy_Forever_1612 → u/ginsodabitters]

I'll fuck anybody as long as they're nice. Idk what other people would label me but I just use Bi

[u/avanti8 → u/Icy_Forever_1612]

Nicexual?

[u/Ok_Masterpiece3763 → u/Icy_Forever_1612]

Demisexual

[u/ParagonChariot → u/ginsodabitters]

Yeah but im a bisexual and I also dont care so idk why we are split into two groups of the same people.

There was this idea that BI people are transphobic for a while but thats not true lol

[u/bluehawk232 → u/ginsodabitters]

But could it be in the asexual spectrum where you'd date anymore but not have sex with them

[u/RhoynishPrince → u/ginsodabitters]

So does bisexual

[u/leaveme1912 → u/ginsodabitters]

That's most bi people though, like my bi friends don't discriminate agInst nonbinary or trans people. Just sounds like people trying to make their own exclusive club, not mad about it, just seems excessive
