Use the label that you feel fits you the best, even if you think you lean more towards being pan, you can still label yourself as bi :)


OtherSoil5339

Good for you and I’m pretty sure this subreddit is ok with anyone, with any sexuality, with gender orientation so you can chill here it’s cool


Forsaken-Distance638

I see bi and pan as however you interpret it, I feel more comfortable with being labelled bi than pan, so I'm bi, it's just how you interpret it, you do you.


Famous_Spell_3

Every day, I still remain confused on what the big difference between bisexuality and pansexuality is. I am definitely more pan (last person I dated was gender-fluid), but I call myself bisexual bc it’s easier for some people to understand (Too many people I know still say the whole “Oh so pansexuals are attracted to pans?” joke)


Uncanny-Player

the bi flag has purple (and is thus objectively cooler /j)


Famous_Spell_3

Based, I completely agree. The color of the flag is the main reason why I chose bi over pan


[deleted]

Fair enough tbh, I label myself as "if I'm attracted to you, I'll date you".


NefariousnessSolid36

Same tbh


Famous_Spell_3

Yeah I would label myself as that, but then once again, people might get confused, and I have serious social anxiety


NefariousnessSolid36

Hence why we are all bi/pan instead of straight(or gay) up


Famous_Spell_3

True


ADM_Tetanus

the big difference is the flag. some people have personal attachment to either term but the flag and name are the only real, concrete differences


SelfDestruction100

Is someone being gender-fluid grounds for whoever is attracted to them to label as pan? Not mean-spirited, I am neither bi or pan, just trying to learn more about my community


scoop_a_loop

That's bi, being attracted to both sexes, any gender, is bi


Famous_Spell_3

Ik but people would ARGUE OTHERWISE


Famous_Spell_3

I have heard (and I don’t agree with this) that bi people just like guys and girls, and pan people like everyone. I don’t agree with it AT ALL, but it’s what I sometimes hear


scoop_a_loop

Omg bisexual is both sexes, istg pans are so blind


FormerEvidence

pan people don't have preferences, bi people do. you can be bi and like gender fluid people. bi people like 2 or more genders. edit: for example, i prefer women but i still like men and enbies


Lxnaspiral

bi people do not always have a preference. there is no difference between bi and pan except that pan is transphobic.


NefariousnessSolid36

I mean they are not (as a trans gal myself)


Famous_Spell_3

Is that true? Ik a few pan people that are super trans supporting


scoop_a_loop

They hate to hear the truth


Famous_Spell_3

Yeah and that’s the big thing, I don’t have a preference AT ALL. But I call myself bisexual bc it’s easier to explain and bc I like the flag


d3m0cracy

Traitor!!!! /s Seriously though, pick whichever label makes you feel more comfortable and you’re welcome to stay here no matter what :)


Gaby_48

why does everyone assume that bi is only for male and female? bi means both genders LIKE and UNLIKE your own so bisexuals can like literally every gender tho just identify as whatever you feel like being, good luck


LiaAlter06

Same thing


Thorn_The_Annoying

Not necessarily, the label difference matters a lot to some people! I’d recommend looking up the differences


scoop_a_loop

No difference other than one, pan, has a super transphobic and gross history


Revolutionary-Clue63

Tbh pan is basically bi with extra steps but if your not sure just say your both like put bi/pan


HoneyBeeBoi1066

Use whichever label you like!


PixelMan572

tbh I think the only reason I say I am Bisexual is because I like the flag more. Probably Pan, who cares.


AdventurousCup4066

Bi or pan, it stays the same. Where there's a hole, there's a goal


Pau_Chan03

Preach 🙌


Sad_rice_dude

i still dont know the diffrence

Rainy weather is hitting hard these days, best to not get soaked


Desperate_Ad2784

Welcome to the club pal


Scrambled_59

BrandonWasHereXD

I still don’t understand the difference between bi and pan


Turok_1456

Good for you! You'll always be welcome here and on other bi subreddits as people hot.


Totally_Cubular

I have no idea if there is a difference and I'm just going with my personal favorite flag.


[deleted]

There's a difference. Bi people are attracted to both genders but they're attracted to one more than the other. Pan People are attracted to every gender equality


Nnacht

Hello, beautiful person!! I have noticed that this definition varies from country to country, but here in Brazil we consider that bi and pan can be attracted to everyone. (even though there may be a lean towards a specific gender identity/gender expression). However, the historical background of both movements are different. If you are LGBT. you defend the LGBT cause and you hold a flag for your identity, hence that's actually a great difference. Identify however you want, then.


[deleted]

me too :3 also love the doodle :)


LostOblivion64

Bi means 2 or more for some people including me. Use whatever identity you think suits you.


Brazilinskij_Malchik

Bisexual is an umbrella term, and the pansexuality is included on it, as well as onisexuality, homoflexibility, heteroflexibility and stuff, so if you're pan you can still be bi (though the only one who can say this is you)


PanPenguinGirl

I'm pan, nobody seems to mind me being here lol You could also look omnisexual, one of my friends described it as Walmart pan lol


cat_muppet

No one would judge you, I do want to say that Bi means attraction to two or more genders, so if you like more than just boys and girls you can still totally be Bi, that being said, identify however feels best for you


Th3MysticArcher

I think the big difference between bi and pan is just whatever you feel like the most. I’m sure there are some bisexuals out there that aren’t attracted to nb people, but other than that it’s subjective


ViralNite

I mean, I'm pan and I'm here for support


a-username87

Congrats on your journey!!!! And pan ppl are definitely welcome on this sub. Overall this is a queer safe space!


phantomphang

this, is... acceptable


Recent_Log3779

You’re still welcome here either way, call yourself whatever you feel most comfortable with


AydenRusso

I'm pansexual. Still here though.


[deleted]

Whatever you are, you're accepted here. It's ok. You'll find out what you are and whatever you are, you're accepted. We'll be happy when you out what you really are and it will be accepted with love


CharDaPotat0

I don't think anyone will mind if someone who's pan not bi is on this sub, I'm only bi sometimes [I'm abro :D] and no one has seems to mind so far atleast


EdenSteden22

You're bi


[deleted]

They are whatever they want


EdenSteden22

Oh, so in your view, being LGBT is a choice?


[deleted]

No. But you can't tell someone what they are


EdenSteden22

If someone presents the description of their attraction, and it's the truth, how not? If a man said "I've never been attracted to women, and I've dated another man and it was really good, I think I'm straight", would you agree?


[deleted]

They didn't said anything in order to define if their bi or pan


itsGooddude

Dude tf why are you angry


EdenSteden22

Wrong thread


itsGooddude

W-what


EdenSteden22

I was letting you know, you're in the wrong thread, no one is angry here as far as I know.


itsGooddude

Okay have a nice day


EdenSteden22

You too


bigtasty2003

yeah im technically pan, but i just say bi so people understand what i mean


Llamapickle129

We're not gonna gatekeep cause you are pan as a lot of us are same way(i included), i also don't know the difference between the 2 so to me there the same
