  Bisexual - You’re over 35

  Pansexual - You’re under 35

  Omnisexual - You’ve spent way more time thinking about your sexuality than getting laid

  Sapiosexual - You’re a straight guy trying to seem cool and intellectual

      I’m pansexual, solidly a millennial, and started using the term nearly a decade and a half ago. Which was late to the game, since the term had been around for about a decade before that.

  To be fair, pansexuality is under the umbrella of bisexuality. What makes it more confusing is that there is no rule saying that bisexuals must only be attracted to 2 genders.

      That’s because it’s an extremely old term; it merely refers to someone who is attracted to more than one gender.

    As someone who identifies as pansexual, the distinction i make is that I don’t consider gender when vetting a potential partner, it’s just not a metric that is part of that decision.

    Aside from that, your description here is spot on from what I understand at least. Of course gender and sexuality is a social construct so other people may feel differently

    My wife generally says that she’s bi, but if she were coming out today she’s said that she’d probably call herself pan, that just wasn’t really a common term when back when she did come out so she’s spent most of her life calling herself bi, and she just kind of identifies with that label more at this point.

    To her, the term bi does kind of imply that someone is attracted only to males or females and would tend to exclude non-binary gender identities (though not necessarily trans people, being MtF or FtM does still kind of line up with a traditional gender binary, a trans man is a man and a trans woman is a woman)

    Which doesn’t really describe her, she’d be cool with any identity, which to her is more pan, but again she’s just been calling herself bi for so long it just feels weird to change that, and since she’s off the market at this point it’s a little bit of a moot point anyway since she’s not trying to get in anyone’s pants but mine.

    I tend to head canon it as binarysexual and pansexual, just as a way to keep them straight (heh) when running through things in thought

    source

    • Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      That’s incorrect though. Bisexual means “homo- and heterosexual” as in, “those that share your gender and those that don’t”.

      Which is the same as pansexual. But pansexual is a term invented by people who didn’t understand the above.

    I feel like placing identities into hierarchies always ends up controversial. Like non-binary is technically under transgender because transgender just means your transitioning from your assigned gender to something else; but a lot of non-binary people really don’t like being called transgender instead of non-binary.

    At the end of the day, the words meanings are a subjective experience that cannot be directly observed or compared. So functionally all self-identifying terms exist flat relative to each other because there will always be contradictory definitions that you can’t rigidly settle on without ignoring significant groups of people.

      I don’t really know how guy unicorns are targeted? Are they? I’ve only heard of the term unicorn being applied to women. But, I’m adjacent to the space at best.

      Has cucking, becoming more fashionable increased couples targeting bulls the same way unicorns are? As in toxically.

      I suppose it’s different, a unicorn is expected to attended to both partners equally. Whereas, a bull isn’t really.

      This is both of topic, and a Wendy’s. I don’t expect an answer.

      Those are still covered under bisexual though. Technically, if you’re a woman attracted to nonbinary people, you’re heterosexual.

    It was recently pointed out to me that an outfit I have been rocking for years makes it look like I’m trying to be a walking bisexual flag: pink button up over a purple tank top with blue shorts. This was by coincidence do but I love those colors so I was fully prepared to die on the hill that it was the superior flag.

    But after refreshing my memory, you right the pan flag looks like three flavors of ice cream stacked atop each other
