hypocriticalhypothetical: themeaningofbisexuality: Bisexuality is the attraction to two or more genders Defining bisexuality as attraction to “both” sexes is intersex erasure and unscientific. Also this a definition often used by those who wish to misgender trans binary people and non-binary people by coercively defining people by the sex they were assigned at birth, and therefore equating sex to genitals. Both sex and gender are social constructs, and neither genitals nor chromosomes define someone’s gender identity. If a bisexual person defines their personal attraction as being to both sexes, they are intersex erasing and misgendering trans people and so should examine their definitions and learn not to erase and misgender people. If someone who isn’t bisexual uses this definition then, on top of the things I mention above, they are also being biphobic and it isn’t their place to tell the bisexual community how to define their sexuality. I am so not on top of these terminology things. So, what’s the difference between Bi and Pan then? I was under the impression bi was for the binaries, and pan was all inclusive? “bi is for the binaries”?You don’t have to ID as pansexual or be attracted to more than one gender to be attracted to non binary people, and non binary people can ID as any sexuality they wish.Pansexual means attraction to all genders and is more specific than bisexuality, but someone attracted to all genders can ID as bisexual, there is an overlap in the definitions which is perfectly fine. -- source link
