equiuskin said: I told my closest friends I'm pan, (explaining it as being attracted to personalities as opposed to gender) but they all blow it off as "Well, that's just bi, what's the difference?" and I find it infuriating to explain to them just to blatantly hand-wave it away. I really have nothing against bisexuals, but it's just not how I roll, y'know. Any suggestions on how to explain pansexuality in an easier and more understandable fashion?
This is where the difficulty comes in. In a basic concept, yes. Pansexuality is more attraction to personality, but it gets difficult explaining to friends when they don’t want to listen. Now here’s what I told another follower. Most people who confuse pansexuality and bisexuality believe that there are only guys and girls. An approach you could go at is explaining maybe more how there are more than just two genders. It’s just an idea. You have trans*-males, trans*-females, males, females, people with both sexes/genders, people with no sex/gender. It’s definitely something to look into if you want to explain it clearly. I can only offer approaches though. I hope all things go well for you. 2 notes
