pansexual visibility day reminders

• all genders/regardless of gender
• pan is not new or tumblr created
• pan and its origin are not biphobic or transphobic
• the bisexual manifesto doesn& #39;t negate pan
• pans aren& #39;t transphobic cis people
• pansexualism ≠ pansexuality
• all genders/regardless of gender

there are a lot of ways people define and explain pansexuality, but the actual definition is simply attraction to all genders. this is often described more specifically as attraction that isn& #39;t determined by gender, or "regardless of gender".
• pan is not new or tumblr created

pansexuality dates back at least 50/60 years. further research may show it being even older. tumblr was created in 2007. identities formed on tumblr aren& #39;t any less real, valid, or queer, pan just factually did not originate there.
• pan and its origin are not biphobic or transphobic

the actual definition of pan is not bi/transphobic. the most consistent non-panphobic origin of pan is that it gained ground during a time when transphobia was constant, to be an identity clear from the jump of meaning "all".
• the bisexual manifesto doesn& #39;t negate pan

pan started taking off as an identity in the 90s, which was when the manifesto was written to change the bi narrative. it basically says bi is a whole identity and there are more than two genders, neither of which negate pansexuality.
• pans aren& #39;t transphobic cis people

do transphobic cis pans exist? yes, transphobes of every identity exist. but "pan is a sexuality for transphobes/cis people" is false. so many queer studies/surveys that include pan show that pan folks are more likely to be trans/non-binary.
• pansexualism ≠ pansexuality

pansexualism is freud& #39;s gross theory about human behavior. it shares part of the word, but IS NOT THE SAME AS PANSEXUALITY. pansexuality, a human sexuality, is completely different. so, please stop mentioning freud in regard to pansexuality.
