Pansexual?

Pansexual: loving people based on who they are, not what they have in their pants.

Anyone consider themselves pansexual?

 

That wil be me- altho if we are talking love and not sex then yes im pan sexual- first i thought it ment love of the horned god-cause he really gets my goat!

 

haha, rawk on. I used to think I was bisexual, but then as I researched and learned more, I realized I love people regardless of what gender they are, not because of their gender.

 

Surely a bisexual loves regardless of what gender someone is?

I am confused, it's the same thing.

 

And yes, there was always going to be one who said something like that, sorry.

 

You guys are SICK.

 

I feel like I can have sexual relations with either sex and have but am more comfortable with a man so am gay but can love either sex just not romantically. I am gay and was born that way....and pansexual seems like a choice

 

Nope, bisexual doesn't necessarily take account for trannies (if you consider them their own category) and doesn't take into consideration hermaphrodites by literal definition. But meh, most trannies like to be referred to as one or another, and hermaphrodites are so rare..




Personally, I consider myself both straight and pansexual. Sexually and romantically, I am attracted to women - however I can find men and trannies sexually attractive at times (though I've never seen a tranny that I liked in real life [that I know of! ]) - and romantic love is a bond more than anything else - so I believe that under the right conditions I could find myself in love with someone I didn't expect to.

I see pansexuality as a philosophy about love and sex of all people, more than an identification. I say straight because that's how I've always felt, and as far as I know my other interests are purely sexually based - but I believe anyone could fall for anyone under certain conditions.

 

im in love wiv women they are my sistas but i dont have sexual relations wiv them what am i? is that pan pansexual ... hang on do i need a lable ?

 

Well put, I have spent way to much time and effort trying to figure out if I am gay or bisexual....so I guess I too am pansexual. Love is love and I have not had sex in years anyway.

 

That's probably part of the reason I am ideologically pansexual, but not just that I was unsure about if I was really straight, but because I realized that there is no 100% sexual preference (In other words, the Pansexuals are the only ones that don't seem confused.)

 

I had never heard of the term till now so I am now officially pansexual, it just simplify things. If I ever fall in love again and the feelings are mutual I can wait for sex, looking for love first.

 

There's no such thing as a ''hermaphrodite". There is such a thing as intersex, but that is a different thing entirely. There's no such thing as a person born 50% female and 50% male biologically and genetically. Intersex people are predominantly one sex genetically, but a chromosomal or/and a hormonal defect leads to the body having or developing physical sex characteristics of the other sex.

As for ''trannys'', I hope you know many people who you label that would take great offense to being reffered to by that word. Besides, straight people and gay people are perfectly capable of being romantically and/or physically attracted to transsexuals. Even if that is unknowingly. Lots of transpeople do not disclose their trans status to people they meet (presumably to prevent being seen as the wrong gender, and being called degrading labels like "tranny") and if they can physically pass as their gender, than not just pansexual people could be attracted to them.

Let me say, that most people who feel in the wrong body would not give you the time of day if you reffered to them as a ''tranny'' anyway. I find it funny that only "tranny chasers" would probably want to be with a transsexual. Yet most transsexuals would not want to be with people like that. I for one, would certainly not get involved with a person who either saw me as a ''tranny'', or wanted to be with me specifically because of that fact. I am not a transsexual, but I was considered one for a long time medically. I for one, would rather never be in a relationship, than compromise my dignity like that. Only a partner seeing me as female is acceptable to me. I would have no interest in being with anyone who would use a dehumanising sub label of gender to categorise me.

I find it very disheartening that someone who considers themselves open minded, still refers to people who are trapped in the wrong body as "trannys". No wonder I stay well away from people.

 

And many of them call themselves transexuals. Stop with the politically correct bullshit.

Not all trannies are post-op.

Bullshit, I've had plenty of great conversations with trannies. You aren't a spokesperson for the whole group just because you considered it.

You're the one that called tranny a sub gender, not me.

Again, not all trannies are people who feel trapped in their bodies - some just feel trapped in their gender role and like dressing as the other sex.
I find it disheartening when someone that considers themselves open minded pays more attentions to the words used than what they are saying.

 

pansexual?
sounds like an oxymoron.

well i'm omnisexual. beat that

 

Goats too?

 

I do agree with that. I dont understand why someone would have a problem with being called a tranny, but dont mind being labelled as transsexual.

Well, some people (including me) would never get involved with someone pre-op. There's too much prejudice out there, and it wouldnt feel natural to me anyway.

I never said I was, so stop putting words into my mouth. I was specifically talking ONLY about people who feel trapped in the wrong body. But then, if you'd paid attention to my post, you'd have realised that anyway. I was not talking about the type of people you are reffering to. I realise that not all people reffered to as ''trannys'' feel trapped in their bodies. And those people usually don't mind being called trannys either, and that is absolutely fine. But I think you are well aware that they were not the type of people I was reffering to. I have spoken to some people labelled ''transsexuals'' who have great difficulty seeing themselves as that. As they only identify as the opposite sex to the one placed on them at birth. To people like that "tranny" definitely would be a degrading label to use for the them. The big problem is people making no differentation between people who just enjoy making themselves look like women, but have no real issues with their bodies, and people who feel they are the opposite sex to the one suggested by physical anatomy alone. Both are totally different groups of people, yet both would be classed as ''trannys''. I merely pointed out that some people would find it degrading to be called that. If you find that ''politically correct bullshit'' then you are completely narrow minded about the subject.

You are disheartened? You are the one who totally misread everything I said. And if you think there is no problem in calling people who feel trapped in the wrong body as ''trannys'', (people who would take offense at that word) then you have no right being disheartened about anything to do with the subject.

 

EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!


at once

 

If someone I'm talking to personally tells me they don't like the word, I won't use it during my conversation with them.
If someone tries to guilt trip me into not using the word in a public forum, I am going to rub the word in their face, as I did with you.

My best friend has a transexual friend, and feels it is rude to refer to him as anything but a guy, because that is what he feels like he is.
On the other hand, my girlfriend's cousin is a transexual and has no problem with the word, so I use it freely around him.

You claim I misread everything you said, yet:
I said tranny - I never said only those who feel trapped in their body - you were responding to what I said as if I were only talking about them, you never said anything about transvestites - so how should I know you were recognizing them as well?

Plus, you agree with me that there is no reason to find offense in the word tranny.



I know black people who take offense to the word black, I know black people who take offense to the term African-American, I know black people who take offense to the term colored.
I will not use the ones that offend them when talking to them personally, but I choose to use the word black, in every other instance.

 

Yessssssss!! A goat's gotta get some lovin' too.

I'm just not a label lover. I apologize if I appear to be mocking this thread. I'm not. I qualify as pansexual, but I just prefer to say I don't care much about the genitalia. As long as it works.
