Re: Deadpool is Pansexual.
The article lucky just posted is pretty good on why people choice pansexual, it might actually help you think about it a bit more rather than just throwing out strange insults.
It's not a strange insult it's the truth. Look up the history of the term itself. It's just another term for being bisexual, as are many of the other terms people use that are just other terms for being bisexual like homoflexible, heteroflexible, demisexual, omnisexual, Gray-A, panromantic, etc.
So here is the end all be all interpretation of these terms. Other than Asexual, they are all subcategories of Homo and Bi Sexualties.
Pan and Flexible. These terms might assist bisexual people in articulating the degree of their attractions. But truth be told, people forget that the main subject involved is attraction to gender sex. I think both terms can help uneducated people better understand a bisexual persons level of sexual attraction. For example, I know bi women and men who are sexually attracted to the same sex but aren’t interested/able to have a relationship with the same sex. But the common ground is they have a varying degree of bisexuality.
Queer is not a sexuality. I know Straight people that consider themselves Queer. Personally I think it is borderline offensive to have even included Queer in the LGBT…. alphabet. I have never know anyone to fight for ‘Queer Rights’. And what would those legal inclusions entail. I understand that being a ‘Queer’, Countercultural, Fluid identifying person is a free and beautiful form of human expression that should be celebrated. But that is NOT a SEXUALITY. Again, those are subcategories.
Demi crosses sexuality period. Again, it’s another tool in helping to explain to the uninitiated the levels and degrees of sexual attraction. In this case this is a bisexual who needs to make an emotional connection first. This ISN’T something new. There are already gay and straight people that have to make an emotional connection first. Most straight women I know fall into that category.
Pan romantic is laughable. If they have romantic feelings but no SEXUAL attraction then it is NOT a SEXUALITY! I think it is delightful for people to have feelings. Bromances, Sisterhoods etc exist. There is nothing wrong with that and in fact people have been falling in love for all time. But do not muddy the waters with non sexual, emotional attachments.
Auto sexual…Well, what genitalia do they possess that they are attracted to about themselves? Do they have a vagina, penis or both? Again, another subcategory. And let’s not confuse this with masturbation.
Gray-A is such a joke it is beyond laughable.
The Kinsey Report touched upon the levels and degrees of bisexuality decades ago. These categories do much in assisting people who fall into the varying degrees of bisexuality to explain to people who do not comprehend bisexuality. They are the adverbs. Helping terms. These classifications exist but it is imperative that we are precise in these classifications. Otherwise we run the risk of diminishing gays/lesbians and Bisexuals alike. And Sociopoliticaly there are many who would like nothing more than seeing some variance that they can latch onto to further their cause of trying to discredit all of us.
