1. janelle explicitly stated that she identifies with BOTH bi and pan labels
2. she was so respectful in her coming out interview and didn’t even say anything close to this lmao. people who look her up and see this shit as an explanation of pansexuality and the implication that bisexuality doesn’t include trans people is a disgrace to janelle, bisexual people, AND the people trying to learn more about pansexuality
This original photo is the biggest load of shit
Bisexuality = attraction to two OR MORE genders
Pansexuality = attraction REGARDLESS of gender
So if a bi person is into women, they are thus also into trans women because trans women ARE WOMEN. THEY ARE NOT A “DIFFERENT KIND” OF WOMAN. Omg. Why do we have to keep going over this. Trans men? Men. Trans women? Women. Trans nonbinary or otherwise gender nonconforming? Nonbinary. Being trans does not make you a different “type” of man/woman/nonconforming person. I’m going to scream, omg.
Pansexuality doesn’t mean “bi but not transphobic” it literally means folks experience attraction to others with zero regard to gender and if you see someone describe it as the former I can GUARANTEE you that 1) said person is neither bi nor pan thus should shut their fucking mouth about what they don’t understand themselves 2) is some type of exclusionary trash so you should ignore them anyways and pro tip if you see this kind of poorly masked biphobia by throwing pan folks under the bus? The one who is throwing that nonsense is most likely ace/arophobic & probably deep down transphobic too and should not be trusted
This is the first time someone has explained this to me and I’ve actually understood it.
Thank you.
