Bisexual is the original term.

No, not really. Bisexual is older and not enough people can even agree on what pansexuality is. There are people with gender preferences who still identify as pansexual, which kinda distills any point of the word.

That's because it's an extremely old term; it merely refers to someone who is attracted to more than one gender.

To be fair, pansexuality is under the umbrella of bisexuality. What makes it more confusing is that there is no rule saying that bisexuals must only be attracted to 2 genders. Nor is there a rule stating that a bisexual must care about the gender of their partner.

Edit: bisexual is a very old term, but it does not strictly refer to only two genders.

As a Canadian in a small town, I so wish my bank used a non-American product for its payment method.

The Overton window has shifted so far right that folks are convinced that the bare minimum is leftism. My own mom is conservative and hates Donald Trump and nazis. She's even pro-choice, but Americans have no idea what leftism is. We need to stop coddling American mindsets and progress.

Congratulations!

I randomly got stung by a wasp whilst walking to work one day 🤷‍♂️ (back before I discovered that I was too disabled to hold down a job safely).

That's true. I gotta maybe use Mauril or something
