everyone

You haven't been to the university or the queer meetup, have you? I wish I could convince your BF, brother or someone else to make you go.

Can you blame us for liking you cuties?

Gender fuckery of some sort has been a common theme with the people I've liked so I'm just glad it works for everyone involved!

I feel it's because (generally), they like both either way and so their loved one transitioning is like having both cakes and eat it too /lh

Not in a chaser sense, but a genuine sense of "omg, amazing, i get to enjoy both sides from the same person?" and that for a trans person, being pre-transition, they can feel safer knowing chances are in their favour that the other will like them regardless.

Like I've heard tales w/ cishet and trans relationships where it is more of a coinflip -- sometimes they realise they do love them regardless, othertimes they realise, "sorry, i don't swing that way". And that is okay too, as long as it ends on good terms. That goes in general with most relationships and ties: whether they strand or not, having good terms is the big part.

Sure, it can still be the case that it doesn't work out eventually between bi and trans people in a relationship. But that's less likely to be due to the transition itself, and that's kind of relaxing in some way.

Hello, bi male friend of yours, here to accept that compliment!

This is the correct definition for sure but in my experience soooo many functionally pan people label themselves as bi for one reason or another. Either because that's the first queer label they've found for themselves, because it sounds cuter or because they'd rather not have to explain what pan means for the thousandth time.

No; it doesn't. We've been saying this since, at least, the 90s:

Bisexuality is a whole, fluid identity. Do not assume that bisexuality is binary or duogamous in nature: that we have "two" sides or that we must be involved simultaneously with both genders to be fulfilled human beings. In fact, don’t assume that there are only two genders. Do not mistake our fluidity for confusion, irresponsibility, or an inability to commit. Do not equate promiscuity, infidelity, or unsafe sexual behavior with bisexuality. Those are human traits that cross all sexual orientations. Nothing should be assumed about anyone’s sexuality, including your own.

—The Anything That Moves Manifesto, 1990

Bisexuals are attracted to people who have the same gender as their own and those who have a gender different from their own; that's the extent of the two.
