​Amelia is super queer

This page is no longer accurate! If you've wound up here by accident, go ahead and check out my asexuality page instead. Otherwise, feel free to read and learn about pansexuality!

In case you haven't heard already, I'm pansexual!

 

For some of you, this may be old news. If so, you can go ahead and move on to the next page.

 

If this is new information, however, by all means, keep reading and I'll explain everything! First of all, let's deconstruct the word. I'm sure you've heard the suffix "-sexual," before, which means "to be sexually attracted to." It's the prefix I'm betting is throwing you off. "Pan-" is of Greek origin, meaning "all." Thus, pansexual is to be sexually attracted to all. Now, just add one more word in there that's commonly associated with sexuality, and you get the full definition.

 

Pansexual: To be sexually attracted to all genders.

 

I'm going to pause here because I'm betting the gears in your brain are turning now. All genders? Aren't there just two? Male and female, right?

 

Nope! There are two biological sexes (three if you include intersex) but there are many more genders. After all, sex is what's in your pants. Gender is in your mind. For example, you've got agender, bigender, genderfluid, genderqueer, etc, etc. The list goes on and on. I'm not going to get too into detail right now, since I explain it a bit more later.

 

So. Many genders, yeah? It means my options are limitless. I meet a cool guy? Sweet! A hella awesome neutrois person? Even better! A demigirl? Aw yea! To me, gender doesn't matter.

 

Now what does this mean for you? Not much! I'm still the weird, clumsy, awkward Amelia. But, just in case, here are a few do's and don't's. Pay close attention, because these are some guidelines for when anyone comes out to you!
