Pansexuality bad?
Ok so I was looking around Pinterest and minding my own business and I saw this pin joking about how bisexual people are half straight and half gay. In the comment section there were people arguing about how being bi doesn’t mean you only like 2 genders but it actually means you’re attracted to all people regardless of their gender. But then people were arguing about how that’s what pansexuality. This kept going on for a while and this is what I got from both sides. -pansexuality has transphobic and biphobic roots -bisexuality is not limited to two genders but can mean liking multiple genders

I pretty much agree with every statement. I don't know much about pansexuality roots so i cant say if it has transphobic and/or biphobic roots.
Now, this is only my point of view which many people share but for me pansexuality is being attracted to any person no matter what gender they are. It includes all genders, so definitely trans and non-bina...... reply
