pansexualpride:

“Pan” means all; “pansexual” means attraction to all genders. It’s not “I don’t see gender”. For a lot of people, it isn’t even “gender has no impact on how attracted I am to someone”. It’s fine if that’s what it means to someone, but it isn’t an accurate blanket statement. 

Gender matters, and gender is important to a lot of people. We cannot ever, ever pretend that gender does not exist or that it is insignificant. It may be insignificant in your choice of partner, but that does not mean that you are blind to gender. Gender-blindness is only one step away from denying the existence of gender. Part of not being blind to gender is accepting that gender is very real, and that everything that comes along with gender -trans* struggles, privilege, dealing with sexism, preferred pronouns, etc.- are actually really important.”

thanks for this.  i adore your brain!
