stuff pansexuals need to know—Aka educate your vocabulary
http://rainbowgenderpunk.wordpress.com/2012/02/05/stuff-pansexuals-need-to-know/
Worth a read if you’re not clued-up on gender stuff, particularly.
I also love that the author acknowledges that people other than trans women or MAAB cross-dressers might be called the t-word sometimes. I know that I have been.
Pretty pleased that I knew almost all of this. 83 Must have picked up some knowledge somewhere on my travels across the internet.
I think this is something good for people who just want to know more about pansexuality to read as well. I often get people looking at me confused when I finally tell them I’m pansexual (I like to hem and haw and avoid giving my sexuality a label as often as possible—going instead with being attracted regardless of gender)—so I think this is a good explanation of pansexual as well as a good explanation for why someone may identify with pansexual over bisexual. I also did not know about people linking pansexuality to race and find that really discomfiting and confusing because what?
I’m also going to put my standard disclaimer for sexuality and gender identity here: When it comes down to it, no one can tell you what your sexuality is but you, same thing for your gender and how you present genderwise—those are yours and yours alone to name and I feel anyone who tries to tell you that you’re “doing it wrong”—even in jest, is crossing a very personal boundary.That’s just something I want to add on to this as I’ve had people try to tell me both my gender and my sexuality were incorrect on numerous occasions and my friends have recounted similar experiences. I just think that bottom line is good for everyone to keep in mind, both as something to buoy us when others try to infringe on our own power over our identities and when we encounter someone who challenges our previous perceptions of a gender or sexuality. Lines are not always as clear as we think and I always try to let my mind expand with new experiences rather than trying to fit them into my old boxes.
I’ll stop sounding like a pompous rhino now.Posted on February 9, 2012 via Pansexual Pride with 285 notes
