I am not bisexual...

I'm beginning to get a feel for the annoyance and frustration that some people go through when trying to identify themselves on websites or in surveys. I'm not heterosexual, I'm not homosexual and I'm not bisexual.  I'm pansexual.

Wikipedia defines pansexuality as:
 the potential for sexual attractions, sexual desire, romantic love, or emotional attraction, towards people of all gender identities and biological sexes.[2][3] Self-identified pansexuals may refer to themselves as gender-blind—that gender and sex are insignificant or irrelevant in determining whether they will be sexually attracted to others.[4] The Oxford English Dictionary writes that pansexuality "encompasses all kinds of sexuality; not limited or inhibited in sexual choice with regards to gender or activity."[5]
The concept of pansexuality deliberately rejects the gender binary, the idea that there are only two genders,[6] as pansexual people are open to relationships with people who do not identify as strictly men or women.[7]
 A lot of people I've spoken to don't even know what pansexual means, let alone have an option for it on forms or places where people are supposed to identify themselves.  I have to "round down" to bisexual which is kind of a lie because women only do it for me rarely. I hate having to label myself as bisexual because it's a lie, and especially on the swinging websites it makes me seem like a unicorn and I am NOT a unicorn for male/female couples (more on that in a later post).  I tend to go for masculine men, androgynous men and women and gender queers, or something. Standard feminine women aren't usually my thing (though stranger things have happened).

Basically, it's about the person than their sex or gender or chromosome assignment or what they're packing.  

Now back to your regularly scheduled blog posts.

Obligatory New Years Posting

Stopping by the blog briefly to wish all my readers a safe, happy New Year.  Don't drink and drive folks, just get trashed at home where you can't hurt anything except the coffee table.  I am so honored to be able to share my journey with you all.  I'm looking forward to talking and sharing more stories and pictures with you all next year.

Dear Virginia, Fuck You.

The state of Virginia is now aloud to discriminate against gays and other potential adopters as well as six other characteristics. Read the full article from the washington blade here . The Virginia State Board of Social Services voted 5 to 1 on Wednesday to allow licensed adoption agencies to refuse to approve adoptions or foster parents based solely on a would-be parent’s sexual orientation as well as six other characteristics.   The board took that action by rejecting for the second time this year an adoption related rule change first drafted in 2009 by state social services officials under former Governor Tim Kaine.   The proposed change called for banning discrimination in the state’s adoption and foster care system solely because of someone’s sexual orientation, religion, age, gender, disability, political beliefs, or family status.   Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell and the state’s controversial attorney general, Ken Cuccinelli, who took office...

I'm here

Just running a few tests. I'm on youtube as well, but this more anonymous text forum may be a better outlet for the information I'd like to explore. I'm going to attempt to post weekly, at least thats the goal. :) I had an ocular migraine (those are things, apparently) today, so we'll see how far we get with this bad boy. Also, the content you're about to view is not suitable for minors ;)
