  • staticfactory2323 answered: If I was, I’d say panromatic (because I’m asexual). It’s why I say I’m panromantic, because I would happily consider a genderfluid person 🙂

  • consultingcorsair answered: I actually hadn’t thought about this before, but as a non-binary person I think it’s a lovely idea to refer to it as such. 🙂

  • nefariousjohannes answered: Oh, I guess I just wouldn’t describe it? I mean, you’d say “enbyfriend” or “partner” or “SO” but, not describe the relationship? Or queer?

  • whispersofnightvale answered: I would say either, but I’m leaning a bit more towards pansexual.

you guys are lovely, thank you for responding!!

i mean, i understand you’d say ‘partner’ (and i just heard enbyfriend today, what a cute thing!) but none of you have said it’s offensive to say ‘i’m in a pansexual relationship’ if asked, yknow?

(or panromantic, if one partner is assexual)

i mean i could easily say a ‘queer relationship’ cause that’s a pretty wide term

ahhh i love talking about gender/sexuality stuuffffffff

also; if i were to date a genderfluid person, is it ok if, when people ask about my sexuality, i still say i’m a gay man? because i’m sure i really consider myself anything else?

I couldn’t fit this into 150 characters (or whatever the limit is – at least without sounding like an arsehole) hope you don’t mind that I’ve reblogged instead? (I’ll delete if you do)

It is ultimately your identity and identity is more for you than it is for other people

but it is also a descriptor for who you are atracted to so you my want to ask them? Being attracted to them and saying ‘I am atracted only to men’ could be kind of erasing of their gender as it seems to imply you consider them under that category when they are not some/all of the time. So worth talking to them about how they feel about you saying that in that context? (as description rather than identity) as it could hurt them, either directly (by them thinking you consider them male – particularly if they are dmab I’d imagine) or by influencing other peoples perception of their gender (in a way they don’t want)

It might be that your sexuality doesn’t quite fit into the neat boxes of words we have to describe it so using gay is the closest but not neccesserily 100% correct – so it might be worth your partner knowing what you mean when you say it. (even if you don’t go into detail with the person who asked, sometimes you have the opotunity and sometimes they just want a three word answer you know)

(I only learnt enbyfriend today also, it is cute. I’ve also heard feyfriend used if you didn’t know that one)
