Im not gay. *but Im definitely not 100% straight either* Edit: This comment section has me dEad lmfao Edir 2: Fuck genders and sexualities and pronouns. Lets just be humans and vibe. Update: Im gay
my definitions: *bisexual:* you can be attracted to any amount of genders but attraction to a gender feels different than another. *pansexual:* all attractions feel the same regardless of gender.
I had to listen twice because of the first vacation. Which just led to a second vacation. I'm more confused than I was before, but my brain's refreshed!
I literally got distracted by that😂😂 I wasn't paying attention 😂😂 I had to play it over like 4 times just to try to stay focus 😂😂 but I'm still confused
My friend and i were at a sleepover and he came out to his mother like this: *Friend:* hey mom I’m not coming out of the closet *His mother:* ...o...kay? *Friend:* im coming out of the cupboard because thats where all the pans are. I tried to repress my laughter as his mom was digesting what he just said.
*@Meredith Ackerman* it’s ok! Don’t let that get in the way of your dreams, etc. You have a WHOLE community who are here to support you with open arms !!
Donnacha O Connor You explained this perfectly. I feel like a lot of people get stuck on the “Bi MeAnS tWo GeNdErS oNlY” and fail to realize this! I guess it’s fairly understandable though since that’s the most widespread definition and I never fully related to being bi until i looked further into it and found this out exactly.
I feel like people are trying to separate everyone into there own groups. Can we all just be one. We are not all that different. I'm gay so what? Your straight so what? In the end it doesn't matter we are all human.
Hmmm, that is what living your life is It is about going out into the world (or the nation) and then deciding where you fit in. ie I like TH-cam, Well I like TH-cam, Vimeo and DailyMotion. By not making a choice, letting others know. It is harder, not simpler, to decide where to eat out, what type of pizza to order. Whether to go downtown, or stay in. Don't judge a book by its label, but if every book was simple and plain with NO LABEL... it would be much harder and less comfortable.
People will do anything to feel a sense of purpose and belonging, especially when they don’t have anything concrete, in the way of skills, in life. They want to DO something without ever DOING something. Really think about the level of self absorption it takes to get to the point this video poster is at. On top of it all, this allows one to exert control over those around them, by forcing them to acknowledge their own imagined perspective. Controlling society, and having power over them, is desirable to those who’ve felt rejected or lessened by it; you used to earn respect in society, now people think just being gets them points. Throw in a dash of mental illness to distort the already frail human perspective, and this is what you get. It’s astounding and, you’re right, it doesn’t really matter. Sex can be the ultimate expression of physical connection between two people or just two people rubbing genitals. It matters, but it doesn’t matter at all. “Pansexuals” would be better off not obsessing over their identity 24/7 and focusing on being valuable members of society.
@@dreamwish286 Not a duplicate, more like a finer distinction like the difference between Mocha and Mexican Mocha (richer with a bit o' spice), Or regular Coke (corn syrup) and Mexican bottled Coke (cane sugar). To the casual eye it looks the same, but tastes are different. Bisexual considers gender in their attraction. Pansexual does not consider gender. To a simple person, gender and biological sex are duplicates. More informed people know better.
@@caseypotts867 trans people are still either men or women depending on what they prefer so bisexual people logically should still be attracted to them.
Casey Potts why? assuming you are attracted to either type of sexual organ you shouldn’t have any problem with trans people. So yes they are the same. What this means is you most likely are not as bi as you think you are.
I just can here because I started watching LGBT 🏳️🌈 vids for no reason and I started wondering “WHAT THE FUCK IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BI AND PAN FFS”
Bisexuality is not binary, it is biSEXual, it means sex and not gender, gender is socially constructed. We have the female genitalia, the male genitalia and people who have both male and female genitalia(intersex), that means two sexes (female/male). Society calls female sex people Woman(gender) and male sex people Man (gender) but we have people who identify as non binary or gender fluid or agender and they can have a male genitalia, a female genitalia or both. And there are people who change their sex to fit the gender they identify with (transgender). So BISEXUALS ARE ATTRACTED TO ALL GENDERS, the phrase "hearts not parts" is an old bisexual phrase that pansexuals kind of stole from them lol. You can be attracted to two or more or all genders, you can have preferences or like them all equally because bisexuality is not binary, is biSEXual. HomoSEXual: attracted to the same sex HeteroSEXual: attracted to the opposite sex BiSEXual: attracted to both sexes ASEXual: not attracted to any sex THIS IS THE BISEXUAL MANIFESTO: "Bisexuality is a whole, fluid identity. Do not assume that bisexuality is binary or duogamous in nature: that we have "two" sides or that we must be involved simultaneously with both genders to be fulfilled human beings. In fact, don’t assume that there are only two genders. Do not mistake our fluidity for confusion, irresponsibility, or an inability to commit. Do not equate promiscuity, infidelity, or unsafe sexual behavior with bisexuality. Those are human traits that cross all sexual orientations. Nothing should be assumed about anyone’s sexuality, including your own. We are angered by those who refuse to accept our existence; our issues; our contributions; our alliances; our voice. It is time for the bisexual voice to be heard.”
I sent this to my dad so he understands 1 like= 1 hope (that he don’t get mad) Edit: Hey ppls! Finally, your answer. I sent it too him, and he didn’t watch it. I sent him a video that I made, basically saying that I’m pansexual, (it was a animatic) and he got upset because he didn’t want to see that and he thinks that being lgbtq+ is taking over my life ._. Honestly, it’s not as bad as it seems, but it still hurt my feelings a bit Also I got some hate on this comment so, thanks for everyone that was being nice
I sent him the video, I don’t know if he watched it. I have told him I was pansexual before, and he was passive aggressive about it because he didn’t understand.
I'm a bi/pan person, and identify as both and fluctuate between the two, because I personally feel that they mean the same thing to me and I don't identify with either one more.
thumby lmao it is the same thing just stupid people like to think it's different because they are already messed up in their head as it is. They want to confuse others in their own confused mind and world. Red is red and blue is blue, stop trying to rename what the color is just because in your mind you changed a hue or tint of what that color already is.
I feel i am gender blind when it comes to my partners and what I'm attracted to.I find I'm attracted to the personaly of someone. thats what makes me pansexual.
Me too I love people for their souls I don’t feel like gender plays a role in my attraction, I’m with a man right now and I’m really happy, I just love him for his soul
I understand the differences now. You did a good job at explaining. I tend to say "bi" because it's just easier to explain when people ask. Though most times I just avoid labels altogether.

You're right. It was pansexualism, a theory by Sigmund Freud in 1917 which was the theory that ALLA HUMANS have sexual instincts and it was the theory of human sexuality. It always gave the meaning on being sexually attracted to everything (animals, kids, dead people, inanimate objects (now modernly known as Objectum Pansexual) and adults)
Ummm...same, & I know we want to at least tell one person, but not telling anyone seems to be the best way, 'cause you know...we might end up getting hurt & offended instead of feeling relieved. So...hang in there.
Millions of people, including myself find SO much comfort in having a name to what they feel. Labels are just ways to better express who YOU are as a person to others and to yourself. And there is nothing wrong with that! People do not HAVE to label themselves when it comes to gender and sexuality, but if they do, please do not judge them. If we choose to take pride in our label, please let us! ♥️
Ikr.. I eventually gave up on trying to label myself as bi or pan or whatever... I feel way better now that I’m not questioning myself as much as I used to
Labels work for categorieing relatively simple things with objective physical evidence. Trying to use them to map out an infinite number of concepts is pointless.
Well, saying I'm a pan-cake (pan/ace) works better than saying I'm a bi-cake. More seriously though, since the prefix bi literally means 2, and since a lot of people (incorrectly) think you only mean 'men and women' when you say you're bi, I identify as pan. But when I'm in an environment that's not super duper accepting and I don't want to spend half an hour proving the existence of nb's, I chicken out and say I'm bi.
No there aren't though, why do you think I'm here, no one ever makes sense, e.g people who say they're non binary aren't physically different from their actual gender/sex so if I was attracted to a girl who "identified as non binary" that would still mean that I'm attracted to girls, it's literally impossible to be physically attracted to more than 2 genders, because they don't exist
pansexuality and bisexuality are literally the same thing. Pansexuality is erasing bisexuality and redefining it's definitions. You are automatically biphobic if you identify as pansexual or panromantic. Labels aren't for comfort they're for identification. Bisexuals can have preferences, but they don't have to, aka bisexuals can be genderblind. If you read the bisexual manifesto you can see that bisexuality has always included all genders, even though pansexuality was made because "unlike bisexuality" pansexuality includes trans and enby people too, which is both biphobic and transphobic. I'm not the best at explaining these things, but i'd suggest you learned about the history of bisexuality and did some research before saying you're panromantic. Pansexuality is harming bisexuality
kquackers i know about the history of both and understand that both are trans inclusive. Pansexuality and bisexuality CAN be the same, as pan is a more specific version of bi, but some people, such as myself, prefer to use pan over bi. The existence of pansexuality does not erase bi people in any way, it is simply a more specific label that some people feel more comfortable with
I identify as pansexual because gender doesn’t have a play in who I’m attracted to, I could just see a person and be attracted to them and not worry if they’re a man or a woman or in between and just like them for who they are.
"The more you pin down and specifically detail what a label entails, the less useful the label becomes." I have a huge issue with this mindset. Isn't the whole purpose of labels to allow others to better understand what we feel? So if we cannot specifically pin point the definition, then what is the whole point of the label to begin with? To me it seems more that people are afraid that these newer sexualities won't actually hold up if their true definitions are put into question because there are already sexualities like bi that cover them. People can't just invent something and say that it is so without giving an explanation of it. Everything should have concrete definitions. We all believe in science, right? Laws (scientific theories) that hold up no matter the situation? Then why can't the same be said for the definition of sexualities?
Exactly. None of these "Bi vs Pan" videos can really give a clear answer because the fact is: there really isn't a difference except for what individuals say they are. 🙄 And why are we so afraid of a specific definition? It makes no sense.
I agree with this. I identify as pansexual, but I still have a preference to people who identify as men. I got confused when I did my research on bisexuality because the whole definition has changed to liking all genders with preference...deleting what I see as pansexuality. Bisexuality to me has always been liking men and women only. Bi means 2. Bisexuals have preference between men and women, and cis gender and trans. This, of course, only counts if the person identifying as bisexual has preference. That is how I've seen it for years. Pansexuality on the other hand is liking all genders and sexualities. For an example, they are attracted to men, women, and non binary folks. But preference differs per person. If bisexuality is what it stands for today, then why was pansexuality and omni-sexuality created? Omni sexuality is liking all genders with preference making pansexuality a non existent term. This is, again, how I view this. I don't think it is fair that the bisxual term gets changed because of the pansexual community. I think the definitions should never have gotten this similar because they are just not similar in the slightest. I also think that just because you have preference doesn't mean a whole different label/sexuality has to be created. Because that is allegedly what has happened with omnisexuality according to urban dictionary. This is my opinion. I know some will see it as wrong but I have done my research and this is the idea I settle on. This isn't a hate speech towards people who Identify as omnisexual or bisexual. I just don't agree with (some parts of) the definition that is stated in this video and I will continue with the mindset I have now. Although I am willing to learn more and I am open to changing my mindset but this doesn't make sense to me and thats why I prefer to think the way I do.
@@chimchim827 bisexuality means two as in the two sexes, therefore this encompasses all genders because everyone no matter their gender is one of the two sexes. Having a preference has never been a prerequisite to be bisexual however some bisexuals do have one. Hope this cleared it up for you, just lmk if you want to learn more about either of the sexualities’ histories.
oh i like this analogy. like if ur bi or pan your pool of people who you could date could be the same, but bi and pan still have like a different "flavour" to it. like smoggy and hazy mean the same thing but they have a suttle difference.
I think I’m Pan... recently I haven’t been thinking about someone’s gender at all, just how much I love to be around them and how I’m attracted to them... but that could also be bi
@Oliphant Kid no it doesn't. Stop making these teenagers insecure about what they are. Here is my advice: I know you want to know the answer right now, but it takes time. Your hormones are doing weird stuff+ we live in a time with so much 'sexuality' species. So it makes you really confused, doesn't it? Now just stop worrying about it and just lets see how it will turn out in the future. If you are stressed/depressed/lonly/unhappy etc that makes it even worse. Hope this helps, Sorry for my English
@@jobvandelaar7977 I think it kind of does matter. If people understand that they're the same then it will heavily reduce the stress of figuring out their identify. From my personal experience it helped me a lot because I didn't need to worry about differentiating the two and it made finding myself a lot easier
VXR Kieran We’re all gonna die anyway, why not accept people and their existence? It’s not like they’re doing anything wrong, or hurting people. Would a little kindness hurt?
VXR Kieran I’d like to point out that I never said it didn’t affect you. Now, if what I’ve found is true the woman that got arrested in the UK had gotten into a Twitter argument specifically where they were discussing transgenderism. She then was arrested for not only misgendering a trans woman, but also dead-naming her. Do I think this was a proper way to treat the problem? No, I do not. From what I’ve read, the circumstances were awful, but that still doesn’t excuse her behavior. She entered the debate uneducated. Whether or not she knew not to dead-name and misgender a trans individual, I have no clue. All in all this situation could have been handled differently, and both parts were maltreated. As for the law in Canada. I believe you’re specifically talking about Bill C-16. This law is protects trans people from the act of hate speech. This is just like the already existing bill that is protects people from discrimination regarding: race, religion, age and/or sexual orientation. As far as I’ve understood, this doesn’t mean you can get arrested for misgendering someone. It’s specifically meant to protect people from malevolent threats. However, if your description of it is true, I personally don’t believe that it would be abused by trans people who happened to be misgendered. If people are genuinely trying to do their best, and if handled maturely it simply won’t happen. The person that’s been misgendered can correct the other person, and they’ll remember that. Simple. It’s the act of bullying and purposely misgendering someone that’s hurtful. Now, the reason the act of misgendering someone is so hurtful, and should be dealt better with is because gender dysphoria is a real thing. Whether it is social or bodily. Gender dysphoria is described as the emotional distress experienced when a persons gender identity doesn’t match the gender they’ve been assigned at birth. Gender dysphoria has psychological causes, and some twin studies even shows it might even have biological causes, that meaning it’s not really a choice. There is also a reason the suicide rate of trans youth is so high (estimated at 40%). It’s because they don’t feel accepted by society, and left out. Not only that, but trans individuals have a greater chance of experiencing depression and anxiety. I’m not saying that to scare you in any way, but it’s a genuine issue that needs to be dealt with. If trans people are still being put down by other people, there’s still an issue. Trans people merely wish to be able to live their true self, and what’s so wrong with that? Being more accepting as a society and as people can save lives. It can create a more open environment for people, making them feel more included. Now, finally, you’re not “bowing down” to trans people, by accepting them. You’re simply respecting them as human beings. It doesn’t have to be a fight “us” v/s “them”. In the end we’re all humans. We all wish to be validated and respected.
I use pansexual anyway, although its hard when all the claimed allies and members of the community constantly bring down and try to tell me I dont exist...

I like the label pan because it includes all genders I'm not saying bi can't include more than 2 genders or nonbinary genders but a lot of people think you only mean men and women when you say you're bi. and I like how inclusive pan is. and also its easier to say I'm pan and explain what pan means then it is to say I'm bi and then try to explain that even tho I use bi I like all genders. and I just feel like pan fits me better. also calling myself a pancake(pan/ace) is pretty cool.
phoebewiththepatterns Well then, welcome to the Pansexuality Club! Go over to the booth there to pick up your complimentary frying pan, pan pride flag, and get ready to think that everyone is hot now! Good to meet you, hope you enjoy your time here!
After I started identifying as panromantic, a bisexual friend of mine told me that she had had some bad interactions with the pan community, with pan folks looking down on bi folks because pan people supposedly emphasize attraction to someone's personality and intelligence over attraction to their bodies, with the strong implication that this is a superior way to experience attraction. She felt this was particularly harmful because it plays into the stereotype of bisexual people as sex-crazed. I had never encountered that way of distinguishing between bi and pan before, and I find the idea pretty distasteful. I use pan purely because I want to be 100% clear that trans and nb folks are included within the realm of my possible attractions, because I do know that some bi folks are not inclusive there.
There is also a problem that some people think of pan as attraction to men, women, amd trans people obviously trans men are men and trans women are women, so you can see the issue there Im bi and am attracted to all genders, but I do feel that theres a difference in my attraction to different genders and I like that the bi community has a longer history
@@jackrutledgegoembel5896 yeah there is Bisexual means attracted to boys and girls and Pansexual means attracted to all genders Boys and girls and transgenders and non binary
Thanks, your definitions of bi and pan were probably the most useful I've run across. Both labels seem to carry a lot of emotional attachment and even suggesting that they share more similarities than differences seems to catch one a lot of flak. Love the shirt, btw. "Gorillaz" :)
Quite like this video and the explanation of the definitions! I pretty much exclusively use the term 'bi' to identify myself, and I use the definition "attracted to similar and different genders", but that's mostly because that's the only term I knew when I came out to myself at 15, and cuz I've used it for so long I've grown attached to that label. I do quite like the term 'pan', though, even though I feel like the definition "all genders" might be a bit much. "All" is a big word.
Honestly these genders and sexualities aren't "made up" people need sexualities cuz we're not all straight. And we need those genders because imagine how awful transgender people would feel if there wasnt a definition for them or gender fluids. We do need those "made up" genders and sexualities
@@anonymousperson1462 being transgender isn't an actual gender, it's simply not associating with the gender you were assigned at birth. So saying that they would feel bad if we didn't have _other genders_ is ridiculous and shows that you aren't fully informed on the matter because they fit within the binary gender system. As for gender fluid and non-binary people- they don't exist. You can be born with a male brain in a female body and vice versa, but you can't be born with a brain that is male today and female tomorrow or one that simply isn't more similar to one of the sexes. I don't care if people identify as that but i know that it is senseless. Claiming that you can be gender fluid is essentially dismissing the gender dysphoria that comes with being *born* trans.
@@anonymousperson1462 Dude how many Genders do you think there are? There is literally only Male and Female (Non-Binary isn't a Gender and if you believe in it, by definition it's really fucking rude to include it as one because the literally definition of Non-Binary is the absence of Gender. You're just belittling Non-Binaries at that point if you ask me.)
nonbinary is just not fitting in the gender binary? like they dont feel as if theyre a boy or girl, its not really the absence of gender n jus another gender that doesnt fall into male or female :0 there r some nb ppl who dont have any gender though, but not all nb ppl identify w that :/
@@crybabytearsfalll7497 I am confused as well... My friend said she's Bisexual and Pansexual which doesn't make sense to me. I feel like it's very complicated
I mean.... shouldn't it be that way? There is a point to definitions and if there are now two common and accepted terms it would make complete sense for them to have to distinct definitions. Bi, meaning two, should have a connection to a binary gender system and pan, meaning all should, be used for someone attracted to all genders.
@@PieGaming87 no it shouldn't. Historically bisexuality has always meant attraction to genders similar to your own and genders different than your own. The purple part of the bi flag literally represents nb identities attraction. I don't care about what bi means in latin it doesn't matter and we're not gonna change what bisexuality means now just because of that
@@taylorbreckenridge6390 If bisexual did in fact mean, to everyone, attraction to all genders, then why would anyone ever think to create a new word for it? Now that we've got two separate and accepted words, they should be used to identify and easily build communities of people who are actually alike in their sexuality.
@@PieGaming87 I think there's a lot of people (not all) who use pansexual because it seems special or trendier and has less baggage than bisexual or because they were never educated on what bisexuality actually represents but I'm not saying pansexuality is invalid. It just represents something really specific and similar to bisexuality. Pansexuality is just being a gender blind bisexual. It's attraction to everyone regardless of gender. Also bisexuals don't have to be attracted to everyone and they usually aren't attracted to everyone in the same way or to the same degree.
Okay. I've gathered what I can from other places and this is what I came up with Bi: The sexual or romantic attraction to 2 or more genders. I interpret this as being attracted to 2 genders, all genders, or anywhere in between. Bisexuality is very fluid. You can have a preference. You also might not. This definition obviously includes trans people because binary trans people are not a separate gender. Pan: The romantic or sexual attraction to every gender. A pansexual person specifically does not have a preference when it comes to attraction. In other words, one's gender does not play a role in if their attracted to someone. Analogies: Every square is a rectangle, but not every rectangle is a square. Here, bisexuality is represented by the rectangle, and pansexuality is represented by the square. Every pan person COULD identify as bi, but not every bi person could identify as pan. Some might ask why there is the need for pansexuality if they could just identify as bi. The reason I've most often seen is to be specific. Bi is an extremely broad label. Some people just like to be specific as to how they identify. Another analogy I've seen is this: Let's say I say my favorite color is red. That's great and valid! I could also say my favorite color is specifically scarlet. Still valid! Another person could like strawberry red. That's still valid! All of these colors are red, but red is a very broad spectrum of colors, and some people just like to specify their specific favorite shade of red. I identify as pan. This is mostly because it is the first label I found that really described how I felt. I could technically go by bisexual, but I've identified as pan for so long that it would be difficult to make the switch, and I'm already out to my friends as pan, so that would make it doubly confusing. TLDR: All pansexual people are technically bisexual, but not all bi people are pan. The specifics matter to people. Thank you for reading, and please comment kindly if you disagree or think I'm wrong. I will debate with you as long as you're respectful about it! - A somewhat tired and scared pansexual girl (Oh. This is kinda long)
I agree whole heartedly with you! Pansexuality is a branch of bisexuality, and as someone whos pansexual, i think both are valid and deserve love. Ive been sent death threats because im pansexual and it honestly hurts
I just say gay or straight and leave the rest out of it. I mean if your straight you don't fool with anything else and if your gay you can play with the whole alphabet😀 Guess I'm old school
@@majatarczynska4334 Tbh some people genuinely couldn't care about a person's personality. Doesn't really make you insane.. it's sexual attraction. Sexual attraction and love are different things that usually just mix together. Some people prefer love, some people prefer lust. I don't think either makes you insane..
for me im bi and i like men and women (cis or trans) although I full support non-binary, gender fluid, etc i would only want to be friends with then not date them

chanman023 bi and pan are the same thing. Being gay is not a choice , being bi is not a choice, being trans is not a choice, if you feel like you are the other gender that is perfectly okay. Same thing with attraction. What is a choice and is straight up ridiculous and stupid is saying you’re something in between or part boy part girl. That’s it
What I understood: Both mean basically the same, but some pople are more comfortable with the label pan over the label bi, and vice versa. As a bisexual, I think the term pan is bi erasure, but at the same time, I understand they are uncomfortable with the term bi. However, its important to know the origin of "pansexual" and the fact that it changed to be basically the same as "bisexual". In the past, pansexuality meant attracted to everything. And when i say everything, I mean humans, animals, plants, rocks, water, etc. Also, the label "pan" itself is bi erasure, as i said in the beginning. Why? Because thanks to it, I've had to explain that Bisexuality also includes all genders. Not to say how they took even more spotlight away from us and our identity. Some Pansexuals also use the "Hearts before parts" phrase, and 1. That used to belong to bisexuals, pan people stole it. 2. That insinuates bi people are only in it for sex, and not actually for a relationship. Open for discution since I haven't heard all sides of this!
agree with you 100%, and if ppl are rly that uncomfortable with the bi label then they need to get help for their internalized biphobia bc imo the only way someone would still choose to identify with the pan label aware of its harmful history is if they were biphobic.
@@beefynubs7363 yo thanks for liking and commenting this cuz i feel like i was too aggressive in my og comment. I was just stating history, and now that ive talked to more people about it, I realized im not against the label. But I do see your point!
I think you explained this very well...There’s not much I can say because I agree with you 100% on everything you said.Its not up to anyone to judge or decide what someone’s label is or what it means to them.I have a few labels that fit me & help describe to me how I feel..the way I experience things is a bit different than others so I’m thankful to have finally found something that helps describe how I’m feeling & makes me feel not so alone since there’s others out there who feel the same way I do but I’m panromantic grey-ace demi sexual & romantic individual :) I don’t tell anyone that usually because I don’t want to disclose that info so I stick to pansexuality or say queer since that’s easier for some people to grasp and I don’t feel I have to justify and explain myself to everyone anyways.
Thank you! I'm glad you agree! I've also been known to just describe myself as bi if I don't want to get into the whole asexuality thing with near-strangers.
I know what you mean, demi-heterosexual, demi-panromantic with very low amount of any attraction besides aesthetic. Queer and ace/aro are so much easier. Though i have no problem explaining to others something that i have studied.
Glad I’m not alone in how I feel ! I’ve felt so isolated and alone because I don’t know anyone who feels the same way I do and/or experiences the same things so I’m glad to see others out there like me in the community.It truly helps to know you aren’t alone
Oh, and also: If someone doesn't like you because your trans, or other, it doesn't always mean that their homophobic. Some people are just uncomfortable dating someone who's trans(or other). Don't hate them for that. But, if they don't like u because your part of the LGBT+ community, than that's when their homophobic.
Here it is simplified: The definition of bisexuality, due to the prefix bi-, is sexual or romantic attraction to two sexes (males and females), or to two genders (men and women). Pansexuality, however, composed with the prefix pan-, is the sexual attraction to a person of any sex or gender.
Lenka Bozovic historically bisexuality has included all genders (in the bisexual manifesto). here’s the bisexual def from oxford. bisexual: sexually attracted not exclusively to people of one particular gender; attracted to both men and women. it doesn’t say here that bisexuals are only attacted to both genders, it means attracted to more than one gender
I feel like if everybody was bi it would make everything easier. Like when I grew up I always heard a man and a woman get married, until I was around 9 or 10 then I started to hear gay, lesbian, trans etc. If we were raised from birth just saying love someone if you love them them it would be cool.
Bisexuality is not binary, it is biSEXual, it means sex and not gender, gender is socially constructed. We have the female genitalia, the male genitalia and people who have both male and female genitalia(intersex), that means two sexes (female/male). Society calls female sex people Woman(gender) and male sex people Man (gender) but we have people who identify as non binary or gender fluid or agender and they can have a male genitalia, a female genitalia or both. And there are people who change their sex to fit the gender they identify with (transgender). So BISEXUALS ARE ATTRACTED TO ALL GENDERS, the phrase "hearts not parts" is an old bisexual phrase that pansexuals kind of stole from them lol. You can be attracted to two or more or all genders, you can have preferences or like them all equally because bisexuality is not binary, is biSEXual. HomoSEXual: attracted to the same sex HeteroSEXual: attracted to the opposite sex BiSEXual: attracted to both sexes ASEXual: not attracted to any sex THIS IS THE BISEXUAL MANIFESTO: "Bisexuality is a whole, fluid identity. Do not assume that bisexuality is binary or duogamous in nature: that we have "two" sides or that we must be involved simultaneously with both genders to be fulfilled human beings. In fact, don’t assume that there are only two genders. Do not mistake our fluidity for confusion, irresponsibility, or an inability to commit. Do not equate promiscuity, infidelity, or unsafe sexual behavior with bisexuality. Those are human traits that cross all sexual orientations. Nothing should be assumed about anyone’s sexuality, including your own. We are angered by those who refuse to accept our existence; our issues; our contributions; our alliances; our voice. It is time for the bisexual voice to be heard.”
i’m a bisexual w equal attraction to both sexes. also i dont take gender into account, if i like you i like you. idk who decided pansexuality was this whole other new thing but i have a bone to pick w them.
Hey, this video is great and I love you as a creator, but I would just like to mention that Polysexual is something that I was hoping would be touched upon by you. I just recently started identifying as it by stumbling upon the definition and felt it fit me very well and I feel that it would’ve helped me find it sooner if channels as vital as this for people trying to find a sexual identity they want to identify as mentioned it. Nothing bad is meant by this comment but I just want everyone to know that there aren’t only two sexualities that are attracted to multiple genders. And I do know she/you has mentioned it in past videos which did make me smile. Hope I didn’t anger anyone, if I did, sorry~ Btw, if u read this, Amelia, luv u❤️
Valentina Ashdown heya! I didn’t mention polysexuality in this video because I was worried it would complicate things and I wanted this to be as simple as possible. I’m sorry though, I should have thought of how important it would be for people to hear themselves mentioned!! I’ll make an effort in future to mention it whenever it’s relevant.
I completely understand that you wanted to keep things simple and thanks for taking this into consideration. I still think this video and your channel are great and important in today’s society; big fan
It literally sounds like there is NO DIFFERENCE whatsoever between the two "labels" besides what people want to call themselves. So.. . Just another term to add on to the same thing. Alrighty then.
I feel like there's only a difference if you believe there's more than 2 genders(Man and Women). Pansexual wouldn't exist without that belief. Also by the definition of pansexual it seems like by saying "Your not attracted to gender but personality or heart and soul or whatever" makes it seems like if your not pansexual then you can't love anyone for their personality, you only love them because their gender? Which confuses me because BI people like both genders but I guess if you believe theres more than 2 or 3(hermaphrodite if you want to count that as one) it makes sense.
@@AnimeBoy416 IMO, if you believe that there are more than 2 genders, you have whole different kind of issues to deal with, than what "label" to apply for your sexuality (for example, going to biology class and learning about human biology)... First time I read definition of "pansexual", my first thought was - "so... bisexuals.. right?". Why these special people ("pansexuals") want to over-complicate things to the level, that nobody wants to take them seriously.. oh.. I know! So they could scream in their faces, that others are "not accepting them for who they are".. though they themselves are denying who they are - bisexuals.
So true Edit: Also, reading the comments, and if people are confused, that’s okay but please don’t downgrade this video because she made some really good points. It really helped me and I just feel better. If some people don’t need labels, that’s cool too but I think this made a lot of people more comfortable and less confused :)
I am having a hard time coming out as bi to my family. They are open minded people, they would be fine with it, I know they would, my parents said they will always love my siblings and I, and accept us for. Who we are. But, still... It's hard. My mother kinda knows (I making it obvious).
You don't needa' come out. Why come out..? There's not really a point. It's just who you are.. it's not a big deal and I don't know why people make it that way. Your sexuality is just your sexuality. I'll support your decision either way, but I support you just being you more over than you telling people who you are.
I understand it can be scary... but if your family is as accepting as you mentioned, I'd say just gather up the strength and do it.. quickly, like ripping off band-aid. Especially if your mother sort of know already.. The relief you'll feel afterwards will be worth it. and I'm pretty sure you'll be even happier within your family then, as you will not have this constant thought of "should I tell hem, or not." etc.. then you can focus completely on your happiness. ;) You'll do great! Just know, there are people across the world rooting for you!
@@festivite But who even cares about the labels dude..? Like I get it, labels make shit easier but they ain't even really important when it comes to sexuality. It's annoying when the only thing anyone ever goes on about is their labels and sexuality.. like who even caaaares? : / It's boring af.
When I became confident in identifying as asexual I put upon myself the need to choose a romantic attraction, because I needed it to ground myself and relate to something, because I knew finding a definition would mean a lot to me and because I was feeling very lost without it, so while trying to figure myself out I came across someone identifying pansexuality as an attraction regardless of gender and that stuck to me and I remember that the first time I realized I was not straight I thought to myself that I just didn't care about gender, so the label panromantic really feels like it's the right one for me, it kind of hits me in the heart you know and that's why I choose this instead of biromantic so for me personally the difference between using one label instead of the other actually really matters so it was nice to watch your video after the internet decided that they have a say on this matter and that they want to be assholes about the whole thing, so thank you
Thankyou so much for this. I identify as bi but have been struggling with it again lately with trying to work out if I’m pan. I feel like my attraction is similar to how you experience it, in that I am attracted to all genders, but I feel like gender does still play a role. I use the term bi as it is the first label that I found where my reaction was “that’s me. I’ve finally found it. I know who I am”.
@@amohelangmolobi3533 pansexuality is a branch of bisexuality, but bisexuality isnt pansexuality. Kinda like how all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares
I’m attracted to people whom I consider beautiful or cute and consider a relationship when I learn about their personality in this case physical appearance is no that important... so...
Pan has always resonated with me and how i experience attraction. Since i've always been more attracted to the character of a person rather than their looks, one of pans definitions(attraction regardless of gender) always sounded right. After learning about the split attraction model, ive come to realize that i was romantically attracted to my best friend(another guy) and it was because of the close relationship i had with him(im demisexual/demiromantic). But it has been really hard to pin down my attractions since i am so far down the asexual spectrum(towards asexual/aromantic), while being strongly attraction aesthetically primarily towards feminine presenting individuals. Im also glad you mentioned trans people. I had a really hard time admitting that i could be attracted to a trans woman, but once i learned about the split attraction model, i realized that my high aesthetic attraction was confusing myself. Now i could easily be attraction(at least romantically) to a trans woman, or a man, or a trans man. Since my attractions lie more in the character of the person, rather than anything physical about them.
As someone who is stuggling to find there sexuality, this was a huge help. I think I am pan, because I couldn't care less what the persons gender is, but how they act and who they are. Im not ready to put a lable on it, but it is on my mind.
I had the same problem but I think I’ve come to terms with it(still in the closet tho) Btw I’m pan too(even tho bi is basically the same thing I like the Pan better lol)
So... Their just the same thing with different names...???? Well thank GOD that's clarified, I was very confused for the longest time trying to figure out if there were differences... For a while I thought that being Pan just meant you also date trans people but then I found out Bi people do too so now that's clarified... Well whatever label ya choose doesn't matter.. I understand exactly what it means now and I don't have to be confused any longer. XD You do you boo! And I'm sorry if I offended anyone! I didn't mean to be rude... (q_q)
pan=bi, look at battleaxe bis on ig to further understand it. I feel like all the pansexual identifying ppl are either misinformed or just want to be special.
Lunch Meat fr, it doesn’t help that certain celebrities who use pan as their label are also spreading misinformation about bisexuality as now it’s becoming mainstream. Bisexuality is now being wrongly defined in mainstream media by people who aren’t even bisexual.
Here's a better answer than any video you'll see on the topic: Bi and Pan are the same thing. The only difference is that Pan people decided to create their own new word.
I am BI and hopefully no one takes this offensive but I didn’t even know what pansexual was until today and this is something that one of my friends told me she told me that she has felt a attraction to both man and woman but not necessarily sees the attraction for the genders but for the way that person is .and when she told me that I wasn’t sure if she was bi or something else so I search it up ,so I could help her figure out what she would like tho see her self like, and then here I found out so I am going to send her this and hopefully this helps her
Bisexuals are attracted to their gender/sex and one other or more genders/sexes, and typically have a preference between these genders. Pansexuslity is "genderblind", they can feel attraction regardless of gender, they typically have no preference between genders. They don't care if you're agender, bigender, trans, cis, woman, man, etc. Some people believe bisexual is being attracted to the binary and only the binary, which can make it less confusing. Anyways, the line is thin, but it's still there. Bisexual is an umbrella term in which pansexual is under as well, it's young and has less history so I can imagine not many people recognizing and validating it but I hope if someone tells you they're pan you're not a cunt about it.
Kieran OPC I personally don't believe there's two genders, soo idk how to explain this to you, literally pansexuality partly (maybe mostly) happened because some people believed bisexuality was exclusive and didn't include non-binary people. Also i CAN say it, i just did. But i should of separated cis and trans from "gender", and i wasn't trying insinuate that if you're bi you can't like trans people, sorry.
I’m confused, I always thought that bisexual was the attraction for men and women while pansexual was the attraction for all genders (and maybe even non binary) I’m attracted to men and women, don’t know If I’m also attracted to trans people, etc.. so I identify as a bisexual
Isabella Williams I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to offend anyone, I’m not transphobic, but Thank you for calling me out about my reference mistake. I wanted to understand more
yeah they are, look up battleaxebis on ig bc when I found that account it rly encompassed my feelings on pansexuality and helped me figure out why I was so uncomfortable with the popularization of the term
Pansexuality is inherently biphobic. In the video the speaker even says its a “newer” label and people could use it to identify with younger peers. As a bisexual woman I don’t look at someone’s gender and think oh this person is hot because they are male or I will date them because of this. I just find them attractive because I just do. Sorry if that offends people but it’s bi erasure.
bisexual - the attraction to two, some, or all genders no matter if gender is a factor or not, if you have preferences or not, etc. bisexuality has always included all genders and people attracted to others regardless of gender. the only requirements to being bi is if you are attracted to more than one gender AND you want to label yourself as such! pansexual - a much more specific term that means the attraction to all genders, usually without preferences/regardless of gender. i chose bi because i knew of it longer than pan, i already came out to some of my friends as bi so when i found out i was attracted to all genders, regardless of gender, i didn’t have to change my label bc of false info. plus pan mean bread in spanish so no one can make i’m attracted to bread joke hahah

People will do anything to feel a sense of purpose and belonging, especially when they don’t have anything concrete, in the way of skills, in life. They want to DO something without ever DOING something. Really think about the level of self absorption it takes to get to the point this video poster is at. On top of it all, this allows one to exert control over those around them, by forcing them to acknowledge their own imagined perspective. Controlling society, and having power over them, is desirable to those who’ve felt rejected or lessened by it; you used to earn respect in society, now people think just being gets them points. Throw in a dash of mental illness to distort the already frail human perspective, and this is what you get.
It’s astounding and, you’re right, it doesn’t really matter. Sex can be the ultimate expression of physical connection between two people or just two people rubbing genitals. It matters, but it doesn’t matter at all. “Pansexuals” would be better off not obsessing over their identity 24/7 and focusing on being valuable members of society.

I understand the differences now. You did a good job at explaining. I tend to say "bi" because it's just easier to explain when people ask. Though most times I just avoid labels altogether.
Bisexuality is not binary, it is biSEXual, it means sex and not gender, gender is socially constructed. We have the female genitalia, the male genitalia and people who have both male and female genitalia(intersex), that means two sexes (female/male). Society calls female sex people Woman(gender) and male sex people Man (gender) but we have people who identify as non binary or gender fluid or agender and they can have a male genitalia, a female genitalia or both. And there are people who change their sex to fit the gender they identify with (transgender). So BISEXUALS ARE ATTRACTED TO ALL GENDERS, the phrase "hearts not parts" is an old bisexual phrase that pansexuals kind of stole from them lol. You can be attracted to two or more or all genders, you can have preferences or like them all equally because bisexuality is not binary, is biSEXual.
HomoSEXual: attracted to the same sex
HeteroSEXual: attracted to the opposite sex
BiSEXual: attracted to both sexes
ASEXual: not attracted to any sex
THIS IS THE BISEXUAL MANIFESTO:
"Bisexuality is a whole, fluid identity. Do not assume that bisexuality is binary or duogamous in nature: that we have "two" sides or that we must be involved simultaneously with both genders to be fulfilled human beings. In fact, don’t assume that there are only two genders. Do not mistake our fluidity for confusion, irresponsibility, or an inability to commit. Do not equate promiscuity, infidelity, or unsafe sexual behavior with bisexuality. Those are human traits that cross all sexual orientations. Nothing should be assumed about anyone’s sexuality, including your own.
We are angered by those who refuse to accept our existence; our issues; our contributions; our alliances; our voice. It is time for the bisexual voice to be heard.”
Fun Fact: Pansexual and Non-Binary existed way before Tumblr.
You're right. It was pansexualism, a theory by Sigmund Freud in 1917 which was the theory that ALLA HUMANS have sexual instincts and it was the theory of human sexuality. It always gave the meaning on being sexually attracted to everything (animals, kids, dead people, inanimate objects (now modernly known as Objectum Pansexual) and adults)

Why don't people just be who they are and ditch the ridiculous labels?
Unreal.
Exactly!
Millions of people, including myself find SO much comfort in having a name to what they feel. Labels are just ways to better express who YOU are as a person to others and to yourself. And there is nothing wrong with that! People do not HAVE to label themselves when it comes to gender and sexuality, but if they do, please do not judge them. If we choose to take pride in our label, please let us! ♥️
Ikr.. I eventually gave up on trying to label myself as bi or pan or whatever... I feel way better now that I’m not questioning myself as much as I used to

Labels work for categorieing relatively simple things with objective physical evidence. Trying to use them to map out an infinite number of concepts is pointless.

Well, saying I'm a pan-cake (pan/ace) works better than saying I'm a bi-cake.
More seriously though, since the prefix bi literally means 2, and since a lot of people (incorrectly) think you only mean 'men and women' when you say you're bi, I identify as pan. But when I'm in an environment that's not super duper accepting and I don't want to spend half an hour proving the existence of nb's, I chicken out and say I'm bi.
...my mom says I am a pancake because i eat them so much...I'm a panro ace....guess she was right rofl
OMG, I love this. I'll definitly refer to myself as a pancake from now on :P
Literally though you need to explain yourself because it's not making any sense, there are only 2 genders
@vandalle there's many video's on youtube explaining how there are more, so just look for them!
No there aren't though, why do you think I'm here, no one ever makes sense, e.g people who say they're non binary aren't physically different from their actual gender/sex so if I was attracted to a girl who "identified as non binary" that would still mean that I'm attracted to girls, it's literally impossible to be physically attracted to more than 2 genders, because they don't exist
I get called biphobic for being panromantic.
I’m so sorry that I chose a label that works best for me?
it’s only biphibuc if u use hearts not parts and say bi people only like 2 genders not all
violet yeah that is but the sexuality itself isn’t biphobic
@@hayleigh7354 exactly :)
pansexuality and bisexuality are literally the same thing. Pansexuality is erasing bisexuality and redefining it's definitions. You are automatically biphobic if you identify as pansexual or panromantic. Labels aren't for comfort they're for identification. Bisexuals can have preferences, but they don't have to, aka bisexuals can be genderblind. If you read the bisexual manifesto you can see that bisexuality has always included all genders, even though pansexuality was made because "unlike bisexuality" pansexuality includes trans and enby people too, which is both biphobic and transphobic. I'm not the best at explaining these things, but i'd suggest you learned about the history of bisexuality and did some research before saying you're panromantic. Pansexuality is harming bisexuality
kquackers i know about the history of both and understand that both are trans inclusive. Pansexuality and bisexuality CAN be the same, as pan is a more specific version of bi, but some people, such as myself, prefer to use pan over bi. The existence of pansexuality does not erase bi people in any way, it is simply a more specific label that some people feel more comfortable with
I use them interchangeably because that's what makes me comfortable
Lunaris Draconis Which is also totally valid.
I do the same thing budd
Thank you so much, I felt really triggered about the biphobia comments. I identify as a pansexual, but I do say bisexual as well in situations.
I identify as pansexual because gender doesn’t have a play in who I’m attracted to, I could just see a person and be attracted to them and not worry if they’re a man or a woman or in between and just like them for who they are.
So you are bisexual
Exactly :)
@@tantrum2110 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pansexuality
"The more you pin down and specifically detail what a label entails, the less useful the label becomes." I have a huge issue with this mindset. Isn't the whole purpose of labels to allow others to better understand what we feel? So if we cannot specifically pin point the definition, then what is the whole point of the label to begin with? To me it seems more that people are afraid that these newer sexualities won't actually hold up if their true definitions are put into question because there are already sexualities like bi that cover them. People can't just invent something and say that it is so without giving an explanation of it. Everything should have concrete definitions. We all believe in science, right? Laws (scientific theories) that hold up no matter the situation? Then why can't the same be said for the definition of sexualities?
Exactly. None of these "Bi vs Pan" videos can really give a clear answer because the fact is: there really isn't a difference except for what individuals say they are. 🙄 And why are we so afraid of a specific definition? It makes no sense.
I agree with this. I identify as pansexual, but I still have a preference to people who identify as men. I got confused when I did my research on bisexuality because the whole definition has changed to liking all genders with preference...deleting what I see as pansexuality. Bisexuality to me has always been liking men and women only. Bi means 2. Bisexuals have preference between men and women, and cis gender and trans. This, of course, only counts if the person identifying as bisexual has preference. That is how I've seen it for years. Pansexuality on the other hand is liking all genders and sexualities. For an example, they are attracted to men, women, and non binary folks. But preference differs per person. If bisexuality is what it stands for today, then why was pansexuality and omni-sexuality created? Omni sexuality is liking all genders with preference making pansexuality a non existent term. This is, again, how I view this. I don't think it is fair that the bisxual term gets changed because of the pansexual community. I think the definitions should never have gotten this similar because they are just not similar in the slightest. I also think that just because you have preference doesn't mean a whole different label/sexuality has to be created. Because that is allegedly what has happened with omnisexuality according to urban dictionary. This is my opinion. I know some will see it as wrong but I have done my research and this is the idea I settle on. This isn't a hate speech towards people who Identify as omnisexual or bisexual. I just don't agree with (some parts of) the definition that is stated in this video and I will continue with the mindset I have now. Although I am willing to learn more and I am open to changing my mindset but this doesn't make sense to me and thats why I prefer to think the way I do.
@@chimchim827 bisexuality means two as in the two sexes, therefore this encompasses all genders because everyone no matter their gender is one of the two sexes. Having a preference has never been a prerequisite to be bisexual however some bisexuals do have one. Hope this cleared it up for you, just lmk if you want to learn more about either of the sexualities’ histories.
basically synonyms. like misty, smoggy, smoky, hazy, steamy.
France Magadia no, their two different things.

@VXR Kieran Have you ever considered what exactly is your existence? It's made up.
VXR Kieran We’re all gonna die anyway, why not accept people and their existence? It’s not like they’re doing anything wrong, or hurting people. Would a little kindness hurt?
VXR Kieran I’d like to point out that I never said it didn’t affect you. Now, if what I’ve found is true the woman that got arrested in the UK had gotten into a Twitter argument specifically where they were discussing transgenderism. She then was arrested for not only misgendering a trans woman, but also dead-naming her. Do I think this was a proper way to treat the problem? No, I do not. From what I’ve read, the circumstances were awful, but that still doesn’t excuse her behavior. She entered the debate uneducated. Whether or not she knew not to dead-name and misgender a trans individual, I have no clue. All in all this situation could have been handled differently, and both parts were maltreated.
As for the law in Canada. I believe you’re specifically talking about Bill C-16. This law is protects trans people from the act of hate speech. This is just like the already existing bill that is protects people from discrimination regarding: race, religion, age and/or sexual orientation. As far as I’ve understood, this doesn’t mean you can get arrested for misgendering someone. It’s specifically meant to protect people from malevolent threats. However, if your description of it is true, I personally don’t believe that it would be abused by trans people who happened to be misgendered. If people are genuinely trying to do their best, and if handled maturely it simply won’t happen. The person that’s been misgendered can correct the other person, and they’ll remember that. Simple. It’s the act of bullying and purposely misgendering someone that’s hurtful.
Now, the reason the act of misgendering someone is so hurtful, and should be dealt better with is because gender dysphoria is a real thing. Whether it is social or bodily. Gender dysphoria is described as the emotional distress experienced when a persons gender identity doesn’t match the gender they’ve been assigned at birth. Gender dysphoria has psychological causes, and some twin studies even shows it might even have biological causes, that meaning it’s not really a choice. There is also a reason the suicide rate of trans youth is so high (estimated at 40%). It’s because they don’t feel accepted by society, and left out. Not only that, but trans individuals have a greater chance of experiencing depression and anxiety. I’m not saying that to scare you in any way, but it’s a genuine issue that needs to be dealt with. If trans people are still being put down by other people, there’s still an issue. Trans people merely wish to be able to live their true self, and what’s so wrong with that? Being more accepting as a society and as people can save lives. It can create a more open environment for people, making them feel more included. Now, finally, you’re not “bowing down” to trans people, by accepting them. You’re simply respecting them as human beings. It doesn’t have to be a fight “us” v/s “them”. In the end we’re all humans. We all wish to be validated and respected.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but my understanding is:
Pan = pretty much gender blind
Bi = attracted to any amount of genders but not gender blind
Pretty much. Also, bi can be more limited, in the sense that a bi person may like 2 genders, 5 genders or 3 genders
No, because pan people are still sexual sometimes
nope, bi people can be gender blind too
I like the label pan because it includes all genders I'm not saying bi can't include more than 2 genders or nonbinary genders but a lot of people think you only mean men and women when you say you're bi. and I like how inclusive pan is. and also its easier to say I'm pan and explain what pan means then it is to say I'm bi and then try to explain that even tho I use bi I like all genders. and I just feel like pan fits me better. also calling myself a pancake(pan/ace) is pretty cool.

jorden bakugo bisexual and pansexual are the same thing. also it seems like a tumblr thing to do idk
After I started identifying as panromantic, a bisexual friend of mine told me that she had had some bad interactions with the pan community, with pan folks looking down on bi folks because pan people supposedly emphasize attraction to someone's personality and intelligence over attraction to their bodies, with the strong implication that this is a superior way to experience attraction. She felt this was particularly harmful because it plays into the stereotype of bisexual people as sex-crazed. I had never encountered that way of distinguishing between bi and pan before, and I find the idea pretty distasteful. I use pan purely because I want to be 100% clear that trans and nb folks are included within the realm of my possible attractions, because I do know that some bi folks are not inclusive there.
You all some fuck up people.

Thanks, your definitions of bi and pan were probably the most useful I've run across. Both labels seem to carry a lot of emotional attachment and even suggesting that they share more similarities than differences seems to catch one a lot of flak.
Love the shirt, btw. "Gorillaz" :)
Quite like this video and the explanation of the definitions! I pretty much exclusively use the term 'bi' to identify myself, and I use the definition "attracted to similar and different genders", but that's mostly because that's the only term I knew when I came out to myself at 15, and cuz I've used it for so long I've grown attached to that label. I do quite like the term 'pan', though, even though I feel like the definition "all genders" might be a bit much. "All" is a big word.
I personally feel like the label pansexual is unnecessary. Why does there have to be a difference if it's so slight?
Well it is necessary for people of these sexualities.
Honestly these genders and sexualities aren't "made up" people need sexualities cuz we're not all straight. And we need those genders because imagine how awful transgender people would feel if there wasnt a definition for them or gender fluids. We do need those "made up" genders and sexualities
@@anonymousperson1462 being transgender isn't an actual gender, it's simply not associating with the gender you were assigned at birth. So saying that they would feel bad if we didn't have _other genders_ is ridiculous and shows that you aren't fully informed on the matter because they fit within the binary gender system. As for gender fluid and non-binary people- they don't exist. You can be born with a male brain in a female body and vice versa, but you can't be born with a brain that is male today and female tomorrow or one that simply isn't more similar to one of the sexes. I don't care if people identify as that but i know that it is senseless. Claiming that you can be gender fluid is essentially dismissing the gender dysphoria that comes with being *born* trans.
@@anonymousperson1462 Dude how many Genders do you think there are? There is literally only Male and Female (Non-Binary isn't a Gender and if you believe in it, by definition it's really fucking rude to include it as one because the literally definition of Non-Binary is the absence of Gender. You're just belittling Non-Binaries at that point if you ask me.)
nonbinary is just not fitting in the gender binary? like they dont feel as if theyre a boy or girl, its not really the absence of gender n jus another gender that doesnt fall into male or female :0

I mean.... shouldn't it be that way? There is a point to definitions and if there are now two common and accepted terms it would make complete sense for them to have to distinct definitions. Bi, meaning two, should have a connection to a binary gender system and pan, meaning all should, be used for someone attracted to all genders.
@@PieGaming87 no it shouldn't. Historically bisexuality has always meant attraction to genders similar to your own and genders different than your own. The purple part of the bi flag literally represents nb identities attraction. I don't care about what bi means in latin it doesn't matter and we're not gonna change what bisexuality means now just because of that
@@taylorbreckenridge6390 If bisexual did in fact mean, to everyone, attraction to all genders, then why would anyone ever think to create a new word for it? Now that we've got two separate and accepted words, they should be used to identify and easily build communities of people who are actually alike in their sexuality.
@@PieGaming87 I think there's a lot of people (not all) who use pansexual because it seems special or trendier and has less baggage than bisexual or because they were never educated on what bisexuality actually represents but I'm not saying pansexuality is invalid. It just represents something really specific and similar to bisexuality. Pansexuality is just being a gender blind bisexual. It's attraction to everyone regardless of gender. Also bisexuals don't have to be attracted to everyone and they usually aren't attracted to everyone in the same way or to the same degree.
@VXR Kieran ok
Hello I'm gay and my bf is a pansexual and we started dating
Are y’all still together
I have been WAITING TO LONG for a video explaining this. I’m pan and so many people get them confused. Thank you 🙏
They get confused because there actually isn't a difference. And she didn't really provide any differences to distinguish to two.
Okay. I've gathered what I can from other places and this is what I came up with
Bi:
The sexual or romantic attraction to 2 or more genders. I interpret this as being attracted to 2 genders, all genders, or anywhere in between. Bisexuality is very fluid. You can have a preference. You also might not. This definition obviously includes trans people because binary trans people are not a separate gender.
Pan:
The romantic or sexual attraction to every gender. A pansexual person specifically does not have a preference when it comes to attraction. In other words, one's gender does not play a role in if their attracted to someone.
Analogies:
Every square is a rectangle, but not every rectangle is a square.
Here, bisexuality is represented by the rectangle, and pansexuality is represented by the square. Every pan person COULD identify as bi, but not every bi person could identify as pan. Some might ask why there is the need for pansexuality if they could just identify as bi. The reason I've most often seen is to be specific. Bi is an extremely broad label. Some people just like to be specific as to how they identify.
Another analogy I've seen is this:
Let's say I say my favorite color is red. That's great and valid! I could also say my favorite color is specifically scarlet. Still valid! Another person could like strawberry red. That's still valid! All of these colors are red, but red is a very broad spectrum of colors, and some people just like to specify their specific favorite shade of red.
I identify as pan. This is mostly because it is the first label I found that really described how I felt. I could technically go by bisexual, but I've identified as pan for so long that it would be difficult to make the switch, and I'm already out to my friends as pan, so that would make it doubly confusing.
TLDR: All pansexual people are technically bisexual, but not all bi people are pan. The specifics matter to people.
Thank you for reading, and please comment kindly if you disagree or think I'm wrong. I will debate with you as long as you're respectful about it!

@@majatarczynska4334 Tbh some people genuinely couldn't care about a person's personality. Doesn't really make you insane.. it's sexual attraction.

hahahhaah yes! funy and original joke ahahhahaha
😏😏
im pansexual because i believe that love depens more on the soul rather than whats underneath.
In my opinion, liking someone based on personality is just a trait someone would have
I think the same way Sam
Whats underneath what?
Yes same
Eh? That doesn't even make sense!
imo bi and pan are the same thing
I'm going to get attacked for this
I'm not the only normal human in this world. Thank god
Yes they are you are right
There is only 2 genders lol
chanman023 bi and pan are the same thing. Being gay is not a choice , being bi is not a choice, being trans is not a choice, if you feel like you are the other gender that is perfectly okay. Same thing with attraction. What is a choice and is straight up ridiculous and stupid is saying you’re something in between or part boy part girl. That’s it
You ain’t wrong tho
4:53 "Okay, Bi"
Thanks so much for this video by the way. It really helped me ^^
What I understood: Both mean basically the same, but some pople are more comfortable with the label pan over the label bi, and vice versa. As a bisexual, I think the term pan is bi erasure, but at the same time, I understand they are uncomfortable with the term bi.
However, its important to know the origin of "pansexual" and the fact that it changed to be basically the same as "bisexual". In the past, pansexuality meant attracted to everything. And when i say everything, I mean humans, animals, plants, rocks, water, etc.
Also, the label "pan" itself is bi erasure, as i said in the beginning. Why? Because thanks to it, I've had to explain that Bisexuality also includes all genders. Not to say how they took even more spotlight away from us and our identity.
Some Pansexuals also use the "Hearts before parts" phrase, and
1. That used to belong to bisexuals, pan people stole it.
2. That insinuates bi people are only in it for sex, and not actually for a relationship.
Open for discution since I haven't heard all sides of this!
agree with you 100%, and if ppl are rly that uncomfortable with the bi label then they need to get help for their internalized biphobia bc imo the only way someone would still choose to identify with the pan label aware of its harmful history is if they were biphobic.
@@beefynubs7363 yo thanks for liking and commenting this cuz i feel like i was too aggressive in my og comment. I was just stating history, and now that ive talked to more people about it, I realized im not against the label. But I do see your point!
I think you explained this very well...There’s not much I can say because I agree with you 100% on everything you said.Its not up to anyone to judge or decide what someone’s label is or what it means to them.I have a few labels that fit me & help describe to me how I feel..the way I experience things is a bit different than others so I’m thankful to have finally found something that helps describe how I’m feeling & makes me feel not so alone since there’s others out there who feel the same way I do but I’m panromantic grey-ace demi sexual & romantic individual :) I don’t tell anyone that usually because I don’t want to disclose that info so I stick to pansexuality or say queer since that’s easier for some people to grasp and I don’t feel I have to justify and explain myself to everyone anyways.
Thank you! I'm glad you agree! I've also been known to just describe myself as bi if I don't want to get into the whole asexuality thing with near-strangers.
I know what you mean, demi-heterosexual, demi-panromantic with very low amount of any attraction besides aesthetic. Queer and ace/aro are so much easier. Though i have no problem explaining to others something that i have studied.
Glad I’m not alone in how I feel ! I’ve felt so isolated and alone because I don’t know anyone who feels the same way I do and/or experiences the same things so I’m glad to see others out there like me in the community.It truly helps to know you aren’t alone
I NEEDED THIS!
Annabelle Kershaw that’s a totally valid label too!!
J257r6siege 98 wth thats rude ?!
Bitch you bi. Move the fuck on with ya life.
So your gay then
thedankestgamer bi is not gay
Oh, and also:
If someone doesn't like you because your trans, or other, it doesn't always mean that their homophobic. Some people are just uncomfortable dating someone who's trans(or other). Don't hate them for that. But, if they don't like u because your part of the LGBT+ community, than that's when their homophobic.
Exactly-
I see people who are straight and say that they won't date a Trans person get attacked abd called transphobic. :c
True, I also see a lot of gay men prefer not to date trans men or lesbians prefer not to date trans women
Here it is simplified:
The definition of bisexuality, due to the prefix bi-, is sexual or romantic attraction to two sexes (males and females), or to two genders (men and women).
Pansexuality, however, composed with the prefix pan-, is the sexual attraction to a person of any sex or gender.
nope. do real research
Lenka Bozovic historically bisexuality has included all genders (in the bisexual manifesto). here’s the bisexual def from oxford. bisexual: sexually attracted not exclusively to people of one particular gender; attracted to both men and women.
it doesn’t say here that bisexuals are only attacted to both genders, it means attracted to more than one gender
I feel like if everybody was bi it would make everything easier. Like when I grew up I always heard a man and a woman get married, until I was around 9 or 10 then I started to hear gay, lesbian, trans etc. If we were raised from birth just saying love someone if you love them them it would be cool.
Bisexuality is not binary, it is biSEXual, it means sex and not gender, gender is socially constructed. We have the female genitalia, the male genitalia and people who have both male and female genitalia(intersex), that means two sexes (female/male). Society calls female sex people Woman(gender) and male sex people Man (gender) but we have people who identify as non binary or gender fluid or agender and they can have a male genitalia, a female genitalia or both. And there are people who change their sex to fit the gender they identify with (transgender). So BISEXUALS ARE ATTRACTED TO ALL GENDERS, the phrase "hearts not parts" is an old bisexual phrase that pansexuals kind of stole from them lol. You can be attracted to two or more or all genders, you can have preferences or like them all equally because bisexuality is not binary, is biSEXual.
HomoSEXual: attracted to the same sex
HeteroSEXual: attracted to the opposite sex
BiSEXual: attracted to both sexes
ASEXual: not attracted to any sex
THIS IS THE BISEXUAL MANIFESTO:
"Bisexuality is a whole, fluid identity. Do not assume that bisexuality is binary or duogamous in nature: that we have "two" sides or that we must be involved simultaneously with both genders to be fulfilled human beings. In fact, don’t assume that there are only two genders. Do not mistake our fluidity for confusion, irresponsibility, or an inability to commit. Do not equate promiscuity, infidelity, or unsafe sexual behavior with bisexuality. Those are human traits that cross all sexual orientations. Nothing should be assumed about anyone’s sexuality, including your own.
We are angered by those who refuse to accept our existence; our issues; our contributions; our alliances; our voice. It is time for the bisexual voice to be heard.”

Hey, this video is great and I love you as a creator, but I would just like to mention that Polysexual is something that I was hoping would be touched upon by you. I just recently started identifying as it by stumbling upon the definition and felt it fit me very well and I feel that it would’ve helped me find it sooner if channels as vital as this for people trying to find a sexual identity they want to identify as mentioned it. Nothing bad is meant by this comment but I just want everyone to know that there aren’t only two sexualities that are attracted to multiple genders. And I do know she/you has mentioned it in past videos which did make me smile. Hope I didn’t anger anyone, if I did, sorry~
Btw, if u read this, Amelia, luv u❤️
Valentina Ashdown heya! I didn’t mention polysexuality in this video because I was worried it would complicate things and I wanted this to be as simple as possible. I’m sorry though, I should have thought of how important it would be for people to hear themselves mentioned!! I’ll make an effort in future to mention it whenever it’s relevant.
I completely understand that you wanted to keep things simple and thanks for taking this into consideration. I still think this video and your channel are great and important in today’s society; big fan
I'm polyromantic too
Your all freaks and need sectioning real quick
thedankestgamer you need to fuck off it’s not our choice how we feel
Now when I tell my friends I'm pan I'll tell them to watch this because I'm to lazy to explain it

It literally sounds like there is NO DIFFERENCE whatsoever between the two "labels" besides what people want to call themselves. So.. . Just another term to add on to the same thing. Alrighty then.
@Bieautiful :3 smh people like you need to get deleted just leave my sexuality alone
@Bieautiful :3 god people like you disgust me
I feel like there's only a difference if you believe there's more than 2 genders(Man and Women). Pansexual wouldn't exist without that belief. Also by the definition of pansexual it seems like by saying "Your not attracted to gender but personality or heart and soul or whatever" makes it seems like if your not pansexual then you can't love anyone for their personality, you only love them because their gender? Which confuses me because BI people like both genders but I guess if you believe theres more than 2 or 3(hermaphrodite if you want to count that as one) it makes sense.
@@AnimeBoy416 yeah that makes sense
@@AnimeBoy416 IMO, if you believe that there are more than 2 genders, you have whole different kind of issues to deal with, than what "label" to apply for your sexuality (for example, going to biology class and learning about human biology)... First time I read definition of "pansexual", my first thought was - "so... bisexuals.. right?".
Why these special people ("pansexuals") want to over-complicate things to the level, that nobody wants to take them seriously.. oh.. I know! So they could scream in their faces, that others are "not accepting them for who they are".. though they themselves are denying who they are - bisexuals.
So true
Edit: Also, reading the comments, and if people are confused, that’s okay but please don’t downgrade this video because she made some really good points. It really helped me and I just feel better. If some people don’t need labels, that’s cool too but I think this made a lot of people more comfortable and less confused :)
I am having a hard time coming out as bi to my family. They are open minded people, they would be fine with it, I know they would, my parents said they will always love my siblings and I, and accept us for. Who we are. But, still... It's hard. My mother kinda knows (I making it obvious).
Same
I know my family is supportive but whenever I say, "I'm going to tell them, right now" I just freeze up like a deer in headlights
You don't needa' come out. Why come out..? There's not really a point. It's just who you are.. it's not a big deal and I don't know why people make it that way. Your sexuality is just your sexuality. I'll support your decision either way, but I support you just being you more over than you telling people who you are.
Same
I understand it can be scary... but if your family is as accepting as you mentioned, I'd say just gather up the strength and do it.. quickly, like ripping off band-aid. Especially if your mother sort of know already.. The relief you'll feel afterwards will be worth it. and I'm pretty sure you'll be even happier within your family then, as you will not have this constant thought of "should I tell hem, or not." etc.. then you can focus completely on your happiness. ;) You'll do great! Just know, there are people across the world rooting for you!
@@lukas_brz I came out to my friends after finding out two of them are bi, then I told my mother that.
Honestly love the way you explained this, as someone who has been questioning my own sexuality, thanks.
Me: I like all genders...

Me: who gave you the right to label me?
Well the friend was asking if pan Is the from you preferred label
Czech mate ._. My mood dropped 90percent when I read this comment
@@lunar1135 oh ok sorry for my angry shouting I guess I just like shouting "ooga booga banana" sorry.
@@festivite But who even cares about the labels dude..? Like I get it, labels make shit easier but they ain't even really important when it comes to sexuality. It's annoying when the only thing anyone ever goes on about is their labels and sexuality.. like who even caaaares? : / It's boring af.
When I became confident in identifying as asexual I put upon myself the need to choose a romantic attraction, because I needed it to ground myself and relate to something, because I knew finding a definition would mean a lot to me and because I was feeling very lost without it, so while trying to figure myself out I came across someone identifying pansexuality as an attraction regardless of gender and that stuck to me and I remember that the first time I realized I was not straight I thought to myself that I just didn't care about gender, so the label panromantic really feels like it's the right one for me, it kind of hits me in the heart you know and that's why I choose this instead of biromantic so for me personally the difference between using one label instead of the other actually really matters so it was nice to watch your video after the internet decided that they have a say on this matter and that they want to be assholes about the whole thing, so thank you
angeloeastblanco how about you fuck off and leave lgbt+ ppl
Oliphant Kid I miss said it I mean he should stop being rude and screw off
Thankyou so much for this. I identify as bi but have been struggling with it again lately with trying to work out if I’m pan. I feel like my attraction is similar to how you experience it, in that I am attracted to all genders, but I feel like gender does still play a role.
I use the term bi as it is the first label that I found where my reaction was “that’s me. I’ve finally found it. I know who I am”.
It's not that fucking difficult to work out. Like dicks *and* pussies? Great, you're bi. That's that.

Pansexuality is a branch of bisexuality. Stop gatekeeping
@@amohelangmolobi3533 bisexuality: attraction to more than one gender
Pansexuality: attraction regardless of gender
@@amohelangmolobi3533 okay? Then use bisexual for that. Both labels can be used if you want, hence why pansexual is a branch of bisexual
@@amohelangmolobi3533 pansexuality is a branch of bisexuality, but bisexuality isnt pansexuality. Kinda like how all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are squares
I’m attracted to people whom I consider beautiful or cute and consider a relationship when I learn about their personality in this case physical appearance is no that important... so...
Um.....beautiful and cute are physical descriptions...
Pan has always resonated with me and how i experience attraction. Since i've always been more attracted to the character of a person rather than their looks, one of pans definitions(attraction regardless of gender) always sounded right. After learning about the split attraction model, ive come to realize that i was romantically attracted to my best friend(another guy) and it was because of the close relationship i had with him(im demisexual/demiromantic). But it has been really hard to pin down my attractions since i am so far down the asexual spectrum(towards asexual/aromantic), while being strongly attraction aesthetically primarily towards feminine presenting individuals.
Im also glad you mentioned trans people. I had a really hard time admitting that i could be attracted to a trans woman, but once i learned about the split attraction model, i realized that my high aesthetic attraction was confusing myself. Now i could easily be attraction(at least romantically) to a trans woman, or a man, or a trans man. Since my attractions lie more in the character of the person, rather than anything physical about them.
I’m more confused than I was before-
Because there is no difference. Pansexual is more or less a newer and fancier way to say Bisexual.
As someone who is stuggling to find there sexuality, this was a huge help. I think I am pan, because I couldn't care less what the persons gender is, but how they act and who they are. Im not ready to put a lable on it, but it is on my mind.
I had the same problem but I think I’ve come to terms with it(still in the closet tho)
Btw I’m pan too(even tho bi is basically the same thing I like the Pan better lol)
So... Their just the same thing with different names...???? Well thank GOD that's clarified, I was very confused for the longest time trying to figure out if there were differences...
For a while I thought that being Pan just meant you also date trans people but then I found out Bi people do too so now that's clarified... Well whatever label ya choose doesn't matter.. I understand exactly what it means now and I don't have to be confused any longer. XD You do you boo!
And I'm sorry if I offended anyone! I didn't mean to be rude... (q_q)
Bro. Plz don't calls bis and pans the same thing. It isn't.
Yeah i came to get clarity from a subject I'm ignorant on ...and I'm leaving not really with anymore understanding than before
pan=bi, look at battleaxe bis on ig to further understand it. I feel like all the pansexual identifying ppl are either misinformed or just want to be special.
Gabrielle Hudson that’s true, pansexuality exists out of biphobia. More people need to be aware of this, it’s a shame so many aren’t.
Lunch Meat fr, it doesn’t help that certain celebrities who use pan as their label are also spreading misinformation about bisexuality as now it’s becoming mainstream. Bisexuality is now being wrongly defined in mainstream media by people who aren’t even bisexual.
Here's a better answer than any video you'll see on the topic: Bi and Pan are the same thing. The only difference is that Pan people decided to create their own new word.
If there'll be a candy for every gander.
There'll be two candies.
Kim Rin if you have a candy for every gender, you’d have a heck of a lot
I am BI and hopefully no one takes this offensive but I didn’t even know what pansexual was until today and this is something that one of my friends told me she told me that she has felt a attraction to both man and woman but not necessarily sees the attraction for the genders but for the way that person is .and when she told me that I wasn’t sure if she was bi or something else so I search it up ,so I could help her figure out what she would like tho see her self like, and then here I found out so I am going to send her this and hopefully this helps her
All I’ve learned from this is that they are the same thing
I'm pansexual bi is when you just like boys and girls pan is when you like trans people etc
Just listen to ducks And chill that’s completely wrong...
Q Mof omi shut up already I'm just explaining how I see it I've always been told that bi is just liking girls or boys
Bisexuals are attracted to their gender/sex and one other or more genders/sexes, and typically have a preference between these genders.
Pansexuslity is "genderblind", they can feel attraction regardless of gender, they typically have no preference between genders. They don't care if you're agender, bigender, trans, cis, woman, man, etc.
Some people believe bisexual is being attracted to the binary and only the binary, which can make it less confusing. Anyways, the line is thin, but it's still there. Bisexual is an umbrella term in which pansexual is under as well, it's young and has less history so I can imagine not many people recognizing and validating it but I hope if someone tells you they're pan you're not a cunt about it.

I personally don't believe there's two genders, soo idk how to explain this to you, literally pansexuality partly (maybe mostly) happened because some people believed bisexuality was exclusive and didn't include non-binary people.
Also i CAN say it, i just did. But i should of separated cis and trans from "gender", and i wasn't trying insinuate that if you're bi you can't like trans people, sorry.
I’m confused, I always thought that bisexual was the attraction for men and women while pansexual was the attraction for all genders (and maybe even non binary)
I’m attracted to men and women, don’t know If I’m also attracted to trans people, etc.. so I identify as a bisexual
bisexual has always included trans/nb people and the attraction to 2+ genders :) pan is just a more specific bisexual
Bisexuality is not trans or nonbinary exclusive. It's your personal preference to or not to date trans people but bisexuals can like all genders.
Yeah, I'm bisexual and I've dated 2 trans people and one girl in the past.
Isabella Williams I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to offend anyone, I’m not transphobic, but Thank you for calling me out about my reference mistake.
I wanted to understand more
binary trans people are men and women
How are they separate? Like... this video confuses me more.. and I’m bi. They literally sound like the exact same thing
If you're are pan you like trans people
Holy Knight That's transphobic
Bisexual is attraction to 2 or more genders and pansexual is attraction to someone regardless of gender.
yeah they are, look up battleaxebis on ig bc when I found that account it rly encompassed my feelings on pansexuality and helped me figure out why I was so uncomfortable with the popularization of the term
Holy Knight no bi people like trans the difference is that pan people like non-binary people and more
Pansexuality is inherently biphobic. In the video the speaker even says its a “newer” label and people could use it to identify with younger peers. As a bisexual woman I don’t look at someone’s gender and think oh this person is hot because they are male or I will date them because of this. I just find them attractive because I just do. Sorry if that offends people but it’s bi erasure.
I believe they're both the same thing but I think they're both valid in my opinion.
Honestly yea. In my opinion they're just two different ways to say the same thing.
I really don’t get it
Now you get it.!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍
@Kivis Blet Gay and lesbian, bi, and transgender are genders how is that possible!?
Kivis Blet bi means 2 genders, it doesn’t have to be man or woman.
Kivis Blet a bi person could be attracted to men and non binary people, or women and agender people. It’s not limited to man ad woman.
Who else watched this just to see the comments
bisexual - the attraction to two, some, or all genders no matter if gender is a factor or not, if you have preferences or not, etc. bisexuality has always included all genders and people attracted to others regardless of gender.
the only requirements to being bi is if you are attracted to more than one gender AND you want to label yourself as such!
pansexual - a much more specific term that means the attraction to all genders, usually without preferences/regardless of gender.
i chose bi because i knew of it longer than pan, i already came out to some of my friends as bi so when i found out i was attracted to all genders, regardless of gender, i didn’t have to change my label bc of false info. plus pan mean bread in spanish so no one can make i’m attracted to bread joke hahah
