Hi all, not really a happy post just so you know.
I’ve identified as pan for about seven years now and for a long time I was really excited to find something that seemed to fit how I felt.
The longer I’ve identified as pan the longer I’ve had to explain it to people and had to have discussions with people about what they thought it meant and what they’d heard other people say. I found this subreddit and I thought it’d be nice to have a community.
It’s not really what I thought. Here and in r/bisexual there’s a lot of debate on definitions and which one’s more inclusive and which one’s erasing the other and I’m just... burnt. Y’know? It just gets tiring and it wears you down over time. I’m letting go of this word for my sexuality and I’m not really looking to pick up another one. I don’t want to have to always discuss explanations and definitions. Kind of wish it was the same for non-straight people as it is for straights and that I didn’t have to explain my sexuality. I’m retiring my flag and moving on.
For everyone here, I hope that you continue to have support and validation in your communities, and that if you do discuss stuff like explanations or definitions a lot that it doesn’t get you down.
Thanks friends, have a pantastic day.
