The Way This Artist Explained Bisexuality In A Simple Comic Went Viral, But Not Everyone Agrees

I have always been member of the 'non-binary' and it feels ridiculous also for me. :D I just have never felt that I am male or female. I have a female body but I have never felt to be feminine or maculine. So I am not trans because I have never felt that I am a man or a woman. Couple of years ago I learned that I should call myself 'genderqueer' and I have used that at some websites. For other people I am just another woman who wears gender-neutral clothes and does not wear make-up. And that is fine. I also call myself bisexual because when I was younger I noticed that people who called themselves pansexuals were usually those people who only dated trans people. Nowadays pansexual is just same thing as bisexual.

All I understood from this comic and is very clear about it Pansexuals will get it on with any one regardless of their sexual preference or origin.

Not true, Jen. I've had sex with men and women but I don't feel sexually attracted to a person who's both woman and a man. But it doesn't mean I'm trans-phobic.

Add on: I realise that might sound rather negative or phobic of some description (choose your own prefix), I'm all for love who you want to love, be who you want to be. But saying you are neither, that is what seems dumb to me, it sounds like someone who just wants to make trouble.

I said "people" there, but I meant "men". Though you obviously find the likewise for women.

I disagree that sexual orientations form based on biological sex and not gender, as there still ARE people who consider themselves gay but are into trans men or straight but are into trans women. It's just that sexual orientation is more of a spectrum than a binary so people are attracted to different qualities of people to varying degrees.

@Master Markus It's called SEXual orientation. You can't identify into this, you either are or you aren't. If a man is into trans men, then he's not gay, he's either sraight or bi. And vice versa.

I agree. I think people say respect when they really mean courtesy. Courtesy is an old fashioned word maybe. Courtesy and consideration can be given until respect is earned. Or not!

it should be like and tolerate. Both love and respect must be earned.

Full Name - I feel like you're missing the point, as "sexual orientation" is what you're attracted to, while "sex" is the genitals you have.

"because sexual orientation isn't binary" you're missing Random's point. The point is that GENDER orientation isn't binary. Sex is biological, gender is social. Sex is what your surgeon uses when assessing whether to give you a vasectomy or tie your tubes, regardless of who you are attracted to or how you present yourself.
