everyone who tries to explain the differences between bi, pan, ply, and omni ends up offending someone. they are missing the point. the goal isn't to have definitions that don't intersect and to be able to neatly sort people into categories based on their experiences. the definitions will always intersect and people's experiences will always escape definitions. the goal is to understand that anyone who identifies with one and not another has personal reasons to do so, and they are valid regardless. the goal is to realize that at the end of the day we're part of one community and many of our experiences overlap, while still respecting individual identities.
