I know a couple of trans rights activists irl and they are 100% convinced that everyone is pansexual. They basically believe that sexual orientation is a social construct and they mostly blame christianity (not other religions for some reason) and colonialism.

This way of thinking is a direct attack against gay people in particular, because it implies that homosexuality is a choice after all.

In a general sense I understand why people who live in countries with a christian majority will criticize christianity the most. I mean, I can say for myself that I have made more commentary about christianity than other faiths because it's the one that affects me the most, and the one I'm more familiar with. But if you start criticizing other faiths I wouldn't reject your criticism.

But there's this type of people who will criticize one faith while being in complete denial about other religions.

I have had people tell me this too!! It's really frustrating. Not EVERYBODY is bisexual/pansexual.

But... That's what conservatives had been saying for centuries... Just with "pan" in place of "hetero". My god.
