Pansexuality

I said in my ‘Gender’ entry that I was bi-curious. But I also said that it wouldn’t matter to me if my boyfriend had a sex change. Which would make him transgendered. Which would make me Pansexual. Except that it hasn’t happened. Which would make me Pan-curious. Has anyone coined the phrase yet? If not, then it should be added to the list.

Meople did a post on Coming Out. I think she has a point. No one should assume anything about a person's sexuality. Everyone should automatically believe one way or another concerning the sexuality of a person walking down the street. Perhaps this person likes women. Perhaps he/she likes men. Perhaps he/she only prefers people who have changed their genders. Until someone says otherwise, we should not assume that someone is straight or gay or bi or anything else.

And why should Pansexuality be a bad thing? Would you still love your partner if he or she decided to have a sex change? I would. Some people like both men and women, those who've changed their gender and those who haven't, those who cross dress, etc.

Why do people have issues with these kinds of things. I don't understand it. They say it isn't normal. Well, what's normal? As someone (don' t know who) once said: "Normal is just a cycle on the washing machine." Everyone has their little idiosyncrasies, their quirks, their strangenesses. And if someone says it's unnatural or that God doesn't want/like it? Well, what do they know? Have they every spoken personally with God? Did God ever say to them in the exact words "Pansexuality is wrong. It is bad. It is unnatural." I doubt it.

So there you have it. Hip Hip Hurray for Pansexuals.
