I'm sure you didn't mean you don't like /all/ pansexuals...I identify as pansexual, but I embrace all sexualities. No, scratch that. I embrace all /people/. Because people are people. I don't need the labels or the hate. I hope to god that even if I don't change your mind, you understand that being against all pansexuals is not always the answer to transphobia. Thank you for hearing me out, I hope this isn't misconstrued as hate.
It is really that I don't like pansexuals, I just will probably never date a person who identifies as pan because the current way that it is being defined as "being attracted to men, women, and trans people" is kinda really insulting to trans people. I am a man. No special labels, no qualifiers, not a man* (*actually a woman, he has a vagina, totally different), just a man. Two years ago I saw it being defined as "being attracted to personalities rather than a specific gender" and that is an okay definition. But then it changed, I saw that a lot of cis pansexual people started to act as though trans was a gender unto itself rather than a term used to describe men and women who had to transition, and I became bitter to the sexuality as a whole. I don't think hating pansexuals (which I don't, for the record) is the answer to transphobia, but I also don't think I am required to date someone who doesn't view me as a man. And until the term itself goes under some radical redefinitions, I am going to write of the sexuality as a whole when it comes to potential dating partners.
