When transgenders (disguised as pansexuals) attacked the bisexual community many years ago, their entire point was that bisexuals are transphobic because they only like men and women and exclude trans people. Which unfortunately gave the unintended implication that transgender is a 3rd sex, not male or female, which is inherently transphobic in and of itself. Pansexual was meant to be a mystical magical sexuality that sees 'hearts not parts' and is attracted to allllllllllllllllllll the genderrrsss even ones not invented yet.

Meanwhile some bisexuals, trying to defend themselves, made the mistake of trying to say "bi means two or more genders" to prove they weren't transphobic, when what they should have really done was to double-down (like I and some other bis did) and say "trans people are still men and women, and bisexual means attracted to both men and women."

I was more than happy to let pansexual exist as a dumpster for people who wanted to identify themselves as willing to date trans, but I also felt it was transphobic and dehumanizing to categorize trans people as a non-male/non-female third sex.

What you're seeing on that page is just some of the remnants that washed up on shore from the battle between transgenders (disguised as pansexuals) and bisexuals.

Once transgenders gave up, the pansexual trend quickly faded to the background and only some people really cling to it now, the definition of it keeps changing too. Back then it meant to be attracted to men/women/trans, now you can be pansexual for liking girls who identify as bananas and girls who identify as qumquats. It's a meaningless label.

As you can see, bisexual isn't labeled as 'transphobic' anymore now that the language-police have changed its definition by force to be "two or more genders" rather than "men and women."

We are living in times when people are abusing their power to literally change the definition of words, and through words trying to change reality as we know it. It's really terrifying.
