    Hey everyone!!!! :smilewave

    I've got a question about my orientation. I know most people here don't like labels but I find labels actually help me come to terms with things. That's what I want help with today.

    I'm just gunna go ahead and say it. I don't care about anything when it comes to attraction/love. I honestly dont care about gender or anything. Trans straight gay bi I don't care. I'm so confused as to what I am? Am I pansexual? Am I gay? I honestly don't know :help::help:

    That sounds like pansexual. I identify as pansexual, and this is how I explain it to people (who think I'm attracted to pans. <--- seriously): I am attracted to everyone/anyone on the gender spectrum.

    I agree with ginger cthlulu. I'd describe that as pansexual, although many people in your position also identify as bisexual (some because most non LBGT don't know what pansexual means!). I'm kinda on the fence about that one... Choose the label that feels comfortable for you :slight_smile:

    Also, hello fellow Hampshirian! :slight_smile:

    It sounds very much like pansexual and bisexual are both labels that you could validly use.

    I agree in thinking that you are pansexual.

    Bisexual means you are attracted to two genders (male and female). Pansexual means you are attracted to all genders (male, female, plus non-binary genders). The terms really aren't that different in my opinion, because some bisexuals would consider trans people to still be in the male/female binary. However, pansexuals usually consider themselves to be "gender blind" which means attracted to people regardless of their gender (not the same thing as attracted to everyone). So feel free to identify with whichever label seems to fit you more.

    There are many different definitions of bisexual, although this one is widely accepted. Another definition that might be helpful is "being attracted to the same gender and to other genders.

    No one can decide what label you should use for yourself-that's all on you. But from what you said, you sound very similar in identification to pansexual people I know.

    You sound pansexual. I also like labels, they help me come up terms with it. :slight_smile:
