I've learned a lot in the Lounge

I didn't even know what pan-sexual meant until tonight... unless I knew, once, and forgot. Which isn't entirely unlikely. :crazy:

Have a lot to catch up on I guess... having lived under that rock so many years!

1. Cool. It's always good to learn new things, right?

[Haole Girl]

3. Absolutely!

Now I'm starting to wonder the difference between that and the term "bi".... back to google! :hi:

11. Pansexuals reject the gender-binary.

By which I mean they believe in a spectrum of genders (some or all of which are attractive to them) rather than two genders.

From the wikipedia: (Know that I don't really like this explanation for a variety of reasons. It's concise but factually-vague and requires a knowledge of insider-terminology not all of which has solid universal definitions.)

The terms "pansexual" and "bisexual" are not mutually exclusive. Pansexuality is inclusive of bisexuality (attraction to both males and females) but additionally includes attraction to other genders and sexes such as those identifying as transgender, genderqueer, bigender, intersex, or genderfuck. In this sense, it necessarily rejects the concept of a gender binary, which some bisexuals may not reject. To this end, pansexuality as a concept has been criticized as a "means to skip the binaries and essentialism of 'bi'."

7. Bah, that's not a very good definition.

Best definition I can think of is when one doesn't feel the need to put someone inside a box before being able to find them attractive. Too many people in this world have a burning need to put everything in its own little box.

8. The world had too many labels, anyway, if you ask me

Thanks for your definition.

Gotta log off now... my shoulder is starting to hurt again. :-(

9. Aww.
