    A little while ago, I told my mum and dad I was Pansexual. They said they would always love me no matter who I loved. They problem is, they don't exactly understand how gender and sex are two different things and that there are more than just two genders. I tried explaining it to them both, but I didn't do that very well...

    So I was wondering if anyone knows some ways that I could explain it better to my parents in a more unique way. I was thinking about a brochure or a power-point presentation to make it a little more fun and a little less awkward (hopefully).

    Any ideas?

    Well I personally don't know anything about gender fluidity but there are tons of people here who I'm sure do. Welcome to EC!
