    I identify as pansexual, but somebody today told me that because I tend to fancy girls more, I can't be pansexual because I have a gender preference. I thought pansexual meant attraction to all genders/ attraction regardless of gender, not attraction to all genders equally. Is it correct for me to identify as pansexual? I've never heard of pansexuals not being "allowed" preferences, so to speak, but I don't want to parade around with a label that doesn't fit me.
    Thanks

    I'm Pansexual with a preference for femininity. Doesn't mean I'm not Pan or invalidate the fact. You can call yourself whatever you feel comfortable with.

    Don't let anyone tell you what you should/shouldn't identify as, if you still feel that you are attracted to all genders, even if you have a preference, you can still identify as pan. In my opinion, anyways!

    All that pansexual means is "sexually attracted to all genders". It doesn't matter if you have a preference. :slight_smile:
