(not sure if y'all count pan as a part of LGB+? but I'll add them here anyway)

Think about that a bit. There's 2 sexes...

You're either limited to 1 sex in your attractions or you aren't. Pansexuals are just bisexual. There's no real application for that term except in a scifi sex-with-aliens situation which in reality has yet to happen.

I mean, "But pansexuals are only attracted to people they like on the inside!"

...

Yeah... That's just how forming a good relationship or a solid attraction to someone works. I mean if a straight/gay/bisexual person likes someone and then finds out they're a shitty person, usually that attraction stops too. Further examining this, does anyone actually know another person on the inside anyway? How do you know they're not lieing, or that their personalities aren't an act? What would a pansexual actually be attracted to in that case, other than their own arbitrary perception, of someone who is regardless 1 of 2 sexes?

"reclaim the f word"

What do you guys think?

I agree it has no real meaning, but that doesn't stop black people from beating up and/or killing people for saying the N word, so if we're allowed to claim words then that's definitely our word. In my opinion, if I'm not allowed to say the N word in any context unless I'm black, you're not allowed to say the F word in any context unless you're openly attracted to the same sex. And yes, of course this isn't official, law, nor unanimously excepted. There's nothing reinforcing either, except what one person does to another afterwards.
