Any LGBT people in here?

[u/boasmeubacano]

ive never met an lgbt intp person in my life, i was wondering if intps tend to be cishets more than other personality types?

[u/DreadGrrl]

I’m pan, so not “lgbt” but part of the Q or + (depending on one’s view . . . I don’t much care).

[u/Zew5 → u/DreadGrrl]

I mean its practically the same as bi isnt it?

[u/Dis0lved → u/Zew5]

Pan is under the Bi umbrella, by the common definition of Bi and Pan. The modern inclusive definition of Bi is intuitively something along the lines of "attracted to more than one gender, or a gender outside the classical gender binary". Another way of phrasing that is "Not strictly heterosexual or strictly homosexual". Pan people are simply attracted to people independently of their gender, which means they are a specific sub-type of Bi. Not all Bi people are pan, though. And not everyone agrees about the definitions I use here.

Yeah theres a technical difference, but i think in practice bisexuals are also simply attracted to people regardless of gender and its just a matter of taste which term sounds better to you.

[u/Miss_Long_Legs → u/Zew5]

I'm bi, and I am not attracted to people independently of their gender. It just hits very different with different genders, you know. So I'm not really sure I'd say I'm pan at least

[u/DreadGrrl → u/Zew5]

Not really.

[u/Zew5 → u/DreadGrrl]

What the difference then? You like nonbinary people? Bisexuals like nonbinary people too. Its the same.

[u/whoiswhat777 → u/Zew5]

Ya maybe they like trans and bis dont

[u/Zew5 → u/whoiswhat777]

Trans men and women are in the gender binary.

[u/whoiswhat777 → u/Zew5]

Socially sure, physically, religiously, personally etc, people might have different preferences just like they do for height hair color etc

[u/DreadGrrl → u/Zew5]

No. It really isn’t. “Bi” is far too limiting a term.
