I agree that priorities are not so much in order, but many people have misgendered my friend in the past. Other than a small lecture and a nod of understanding, no other exchanges happen. There are more good people than society sometimes make there out to be, and same goes for other things like rape, where, yes, not all men do it, but majority do. You just have to find that small minority. I dont want this to spark anything, but I will oppose the statement that transgender people are jerks and they dont care. Ive met many people that do. Maybe the larger picture isnt on their minds, maybe they want to start small, but there are nice people out there. It's a lot like how I dont get offended or irritated when someone asks "so do you just like pans?" or "isnt that just bi?" If they ask rudely, I might get a bit more defensive, but I never attack them. There are small minorities if you look closely.
Yeah... I considered myself Asexual for quite a while because I wasnt into sex. Now I know the difference (luckily) and I am Pan. It's great that you're Bi! And, yeah, part of being Pansexual is "more options" as people tend to call it. I like people for who they are, no matter their gender identity, thus including transgenders, nonbinaries, and whoever else I could meet. I havent met many transgenders before (other than a few ive happened to run into on the streets and at my school) but they all seemed pretty nice. Then again, that might just be because I live in the quiet midwest where nothing really... happens. (Also its getting better with younger generations. Theres a kid my younger brother knows who recently came out as a trans girl and everyone was fine with it, so with that it should die down. I think these people have probably gotten oppressed before by people and they feel that if they dont assert dominance they wont be respected. I know I feel that way a lot)
Thanks for asking! And also thanks for asking in a non-offensive way that ive gotten in the past. The difference is that I see personality before gender. What I mean by that is this handy metaphor: "Bisexual: you stick your hand down someone's pants and youre happy with what you find. Pansexual: you dont need to stick your hand down there to know that you'll be happy" Its seeing someone before their gender identity. And you can still think people are cute, of course, but its more of a "thats a cute human" rather than "thats a cute boy/girl" if that helps.
I...? What? What happened? What did I do? I'm so confused... I was just adding my opinion??
