happy pan visibility day!! 💗💛💙

anyone who identifies as pan in some way, on its own or in addition to other labels, all the time or only sometimes, for your attraction or gender, today is for you.

on days like this, i urge everyone to take the time to learn actual pansexual history. if you don’t know where to start doing so, check out my detailed (but non-exhaustive) timeline of pansexual history.

pan people deserve so much better. we deserve to be taken into account and included in things that concern us. we deserve to be treated with the same kind of respect that others get. we deserve support, understanding, love, and fair treatment.

anyways, i hope all pan people are having a lovely day and i hope all non-pan people are treating pan folks well. be kind to yourself and others. 🌈💕

happy new year to all you incredible and lovely pan folks!!!! i hope your 2026 is everything you want and more!!! 💗💛💙

the pansexual bookshelf: pan squared romances

in this installment of the pansexual bookshelf, i’m highlighting books with romances that include two (or more!) pan characters. it can be…

for pan week, i’m continuing my pansexual bookshelf series spreading awareness for books with pansexual/panromantic representation in a fun, creative way.

pan squared romances 💗💛💙

this list has 40+ books (standalones and series!) with romances between two (or more!) canon pan characters!! it’s honestly hard enough to find books with one pan character, let alone two or more who are dating each other, so i’m super jazzed about this list!!!!

to be clear: while some of these characters have been labeled bi in addition to pan, every single character named in this list has been described on page or out of text as pan. so like all my pan rep lists, this is not a “claiming to be a list of pan characters but most of them are bi or unlabeled mspec” situation lmao

happy pan week and happy reading!!! 📚🥰

Image 2: A grey background with small pan flags in the upper left and bottom right corners and bold white text that reads, “first started in 2017, pan week is an annual, week-long celebration of pansexuality and all of us who identify with being pan; pansexual, panromantic, pansensual, panalterous, and all other forms of pan attraction and identity. pan people are incredibly mistreated, neglected, and underrepresented, even within the queer community, so pan week was created to serve as a very needed time dedicated to centering and uplifting us, our voices, and our experiences.”

Image 3: A grey background with small pan flags in the upper left and bottom right corners and bold white text that reads, “show your pride in being pan and your love for your pan friends and siblings by participating in and spreading the word about pan week! share your opinions, experiences, art, selfies, work, etc. and boost that of other pan people. celebrate your favorite pan celebrities, people, characters, and headcanons. learn and educate others about pan history.” End ID.]

it’s that time of year again!!!! pan week is approaching!!!! 💗💛💙

hi!! thank you so much!!! 🥹 yeah, i haven't been as motivated to post on here pretty much this entire year, which sucked, but i hope to get back in the swing of things. i kind of felt like no one noticed or cared much that i wasn't posting, so thank you for this!!! i hope you have a lovely holidays and new year!!! 💗💗

Hi so I have a question, I’m pan but I’m very hesitant to label myself as such because I keep hearing on tumblr about how bi is better and how bi has always meant all genders in the anything that moves magazine. Is that true though? Because wouldn’t that erase pansexuality? And does it actually say that in the everything that moves magazines?

Also hesitant to label myself as pan because bi has more of a history I’ve seen but maybe that’s not the case? I’d just thought I’d ask someone who’s pan and apologizes if you’ve already covered this on your blog

-💙

yeah, my pinned post and faq have pretty much all the resources you need to answer these questions. but none of these things are true.

bi is not "better," whatever that even means. no label is "better" than another.

bi has not always meant all genders.

anything that moves does not define bisexuality as all genders, nor does it even put forth any universal definition of bisexuality.

anything that moves/the bisexual manifesto and the bi community at large actually support other mspec labels.

even if bi was defined in the 1990s in anything that moves as all genders, that would not "erase pansexuality," because there is no rule against having more than one word to mean the same thing or something similar, and that's not even how or why queer identity labels exist in the first place.

pan has plenty of history as a sexual identity label, but please know that a label having more history than another doesn't make it any more valid or important.

lastly, the negative things random people say on the internet shouldn't determine how you identify or what language you feel comfortable and at home with.

hope this helps!

Hi I hope you’re doing well and okay!

I just wanted to ask what the difference between pan vs Omni is?

suuuuuuper late to answering this, sorry about that! i'm doing well, hope you are too! you can find info on this in my faq, but pan is attraction to all genders or regardless of gender (with or without preferences) and the most common way i've seen omni described by omni folks is attraction to all genders or specifically with preferences. i hope this helps!

I read 101 “pansexuality 101” articles so you don’t have to

You’re welcome.

the title is no joke. i actually read 101 (actually 103) "pansexuality 101" articles so y'all don't have to. and it was.....a Time. i detail the basic stats of the articles, such as who wrote and was consulted for them, and the good, the bad, and the "stop fucking blaming pan people for what goes wrong in these articles when it's overwhelmingly not our fault". you're welcome! i need to now sleep for two months to recover from this.

[posi-pan]

happy pan week y’all!!!!

i hope y’all have a lovely week and spend it celebrating yourselves and each other 💗💛💙

[posi-pan]

some reminders for pan week!! 💗💛💙

pan people have always been included in the bi community!!

pansexual has existed since at least the 1960s!!

identifying as pansexual is not biphobic or transphobic!!

there are more pan identities than pansexual and panromantic!!

pan means attraction to all genders or regardless of gender!!

one can identify as both pan and bi!!

Yungblud discusses his sexuality: 'I am the pan man – I'm the f**king saucepan' (EXCLUSIVE)

"It’s the [label] that allows me to be who I am; it’s the one with the most room for manoeuvre," says Attitude's latest cover star

yungblud recently discussed his pansexuality 💗💛💙

“i am the pan man — i’m the fucking saucepan,’ the 27-year-old told us. “because it’s the [label] that allows me to be who i am; it’s the one with the most room for manoeuvre. do you know what i’m saying? i do feel like i am less insecure about it.” the star furthermore addressed discourse around his sexual orientation, calling it a “fucking simmering pan” and adding “the hardest thing [is] to have my authenticity questioned, because i’ve only ever been myself.”

JoJo Siwa Knows Her “Fluid” Sexuality Is a Hot Topic

"No matter what [it is in my life], people are very intrigued about it, and people love to pick it apart,” the pop culture superstar says in

jojo siwa has discussed her sexuality recently and said she's pansexual! 💗💛💙

“when i first came out, i identified my sexuality as pansexual. then over time, i thought maybe more bisexual, and then over time, i thought maybe more lesbian, and over time, i thought maybe pansexual. i realized maybe a year ago that i am definitely not lesbian, i’m definitely pansexual, but i just wasn’t open about that yet again.”

(jojo has also recently said she's queer!!)

sexuality is fluid for a lot of people, and that is even more true for the labels we use for our sexuality. there is nothing wrong or harmful about someone who at one point came out as x label coming out again as y label. it’s worth interrogating honestly why when jojo went from identifying as pansexual to lesbian, no one cared, but when she went from lesbian to queer/pansexual, people had an issue.

we need to allow queer people the space to grow and change and discover themselves, we shouldn’t be prioritizing our desire for iconic representation or perfect spokespeople over genuine, honest self-discovery and expression.

hi, i genuinely mean this in a nice way—why is the borrow a boyfriend club by page powars on your pan representation list? the author has stated that both main characters are bisexual:

https://x.com/pagepowars/status/1743705123572879586

hi, the author has also stated a few years back that that book was one of two upcoming books that have a pan main character. i only add characters to the pan rep list that are confirmed in the source material or that i've seen the creators describe as pan. sources are also provided for anyone curious or doubting a character's place on the list.

you are still pansexual if you...

are in a different gender relationship

have a preference for different gender relationships

have only ever been in different gender relationships

are in a same gender relationship

have a preference for same gender relationships

have only ever been in same gender relationships

have never been in a relationship

never want to be in a relationship

don’t describe your relationships based on gender

don’t feel your gender neatly fits the same/different binary

and you belong in queer and pride spaces! 💗💛💙
