> WTF is pansexual?
Pansexuality is being attracted to people regardless of sex or gender identity.
My girlfriend is pansexual, and she dates both men and women.
Isn't that just an upmarket word for bisexuality?

"bisexuality" implies that there's a binary for gender. "Pansexuality" takes non-binary people into consideration.
I'm bisexual and not pansexual. I certainly accept non-binary people, but I'm only attracted to pretty and feminine athletic girls and super jacked macho guys.

I don't know what non-binary people are, because I believe there are only two sexes and that gender is a linguistic concept, not a biological or social one. However, my attractions are not very different from yours.

It's easy. Sex is biological and gender is social.
I think that a lot of non-binary people would have simply been really butch girls or really femme guys. These days they're more comfortable having neutral pronouns and straddling the two genders. It's fine. I honestly don't understand why this freaks people out.
But personally, I'm quite binary with my sexual preferences, so this wouldn't work for me in terms of attraction.

Uh, intersex people (of various types) would disagree with that assertion. Whatever your social outlook, "two sexes" is false.
Not trying to correct anyone here, just adding that my understanding of the difference between the terms bi and pan is that while bisexuals (how I identify) in the most general sense will experience some degree of attraction to people who identify as non-binary, they don't generally seek them out. Whereas pansexuals do. But as I write those words it seems like a stupid explanation and I'm pretty sure it's more of a generational distinction than anything (bisexuals were defined at a time when binary gender was taken for granted as the norm, pansexuality is more of a patch or hotfix for this new understanding). Regardless, there is a thread for this kind of tomfoolery so we don't bog down the image threads. Let's move this discussion here: https://www.girlswithmuscle.com/forum/thread/...
I'm not a mod and don't want to be one but I highly suggest that this discussion: a) continue, as it is important to talk through; and b) move so that people who are inclined to shut down this kind of discussion for whatever reason have a "reason" to complain and potentially shut down conversations like this.
A lot of post modern gibberish on this thread lol. To each their own I guess
I feel really better now that we have this fundamental pov about the debate lol
I wasn't arguing, just simply answering a question as to what "pansexual" means. The definition of that word isn't really up for debate: it literally means that you're attracted to all genders and necessarily implies that there are more than two.
IDK, it seems crazy for someone to be upset about "pansexual" but then also be into butch lesbians with higher levels of male sex hormones than a varsity football player, but consistency and logic isn't a strong point for some people. Anyway, I'm fine just shutting up and appreciating the LGBT muscle girls on here.

It's not my preference. It's the site moderator's preferences which I'm trying to respect as a compromise for us to be able to have these discussions at all. But by all means, be the hero here in the absolute worst faith way possible. Feel free.
