You know, I never really got pansexuality. Now, you proved your point on you being a pansexual. But, I just don't get it when a lot of other people say they are.

I mean, how do they know? Have they seen and/or talk to all the genders? They might be uncomfortable with one of them. I just, if you haven't met them all then how do you know?

Sorry, went on a bit of a rant.

Back on subject nice poem. I can understand some it seeing how I'm bi, but I do have limits.

Well, part of how I feel like I can know, from my experience, is just with how my imagination has always run, and how I've spoken with some of the people I've both been with, online and offline. I have had a great deal of sexual experience, with many different kinds of partners, so I can attest from that as well.

But also, it just...it feels right to me. I'm genderqueer, a mixture between male and female, somewhere along the middle of that gender spectrum, and so I can understand the many different genders much more as a result of that too. Being limited to just a couple or few is goofy and silly to me, because as I say in the poem: it's about being forced to pick, when I feel like sampling everything.

Now, with that said, the no limits part of the poem is referring to gender identities and such. Obviously I wouldn't just date anyone off the street--there are personalities I'd clash with or people I just wouldn't like due to their views on certain things, but that would be judging people by the content of their character, rather than rejecting them out of hand over something they cannot control.

Anyway, thank you for your kind words, and hopefully I've given you a bit more insight.

Yep, thanks.

now, i have a questions

being the near emotionless person that i am, i operate on logic, a few things discussed in the this , admittedly well written, poem, dont make much logical sense to a straight guy like me,

you list your gender as "genderqueer" acting like its some kind of "3rd gender" if you will, when scientifically, there are only 2 genders, man and women, that is decided by hormones that dictate which areas are not allowed to be shown on television, even shemales are mostly women,

and another thing, while i dont hate gays or bis, i dont understand them, it makes no sense to me why some one one would look favorably on the same sex, it makes no sense at all, so help me under stand

Gender is not important in today's society. Back when humanity was striving to survive by populating as quickly as possible, yes, being with an opposite gender was a nececsity for the human race. Nowadays, gender has no point. Both genders have (nearly) the same opportunities. Both can get the same jobs, make the same money, and be with anyone they want to be. There is enough people in the world to be with another person of the same sex. If they make you happy and you genuinely love them, who is to say that it's wrong if they happen to be a man?

when scientifically, there are only 2 genders, man and women, that is decided by hormones that dictate which areas are not allowed to be shown on television, even shemales are mostly women,

Well, not always. It's possible for a genetic mutation to occur during meiosis, so as to have extra sex chromosomes. They aren't male of female per say.

Are you talking from an evolutionary stand point? It's an interesting question, not asked a lot, to prevent people seeing oneself as homophobic. And normally I would reply, "does it matter? It's love." But seeing as you probably won't accept that answer, I'd say we do a lot of things that aren't driven by self preservation and/or sex. I mean, we do things that don't really benefit us in any significant form. An example of that would be donating money to charity anonymously. But all in all, I too don't understand it from an evolutionary aspect.

Rather well written, I like. Didn't like a few word choices, like "binaries", which didn't seem as fitting as "states", but overall it's a good read. Perhaps a few extra commas here and there would be beneficial for dramatic pauses, but that's totally dependent on style.

Skullbuster, gender identity is not the same as sex. And even with sex, you have a large variety of genders outside of just XX females and XY males. You can have XY females, XX males, XXY, XYY, and many other chromasomal makeups. You even have intersexed people, who possess both sets of genitals. (Incidentally, please do not use the word shemale. It's highly offensive to many, because it's a term that is loaded with a statement that says "you are this regardless of what you say you are."

Gender identity, meanwhile, is much more about the psychology of how one sees themselves. Just because someone is born with one set of genitals doesn't mean they must be that gender, identity wise. That is, after all, the basis of what makes people transgender: a different gender identity than their sex.

Genderqueer, incidentally, is more of a catch all term or phrase to cover a variety of different transgender states, not quite a third gender identity all to itself.

As for the homosexuality and bisexuality and such, you don't necessarily have to understand it to accept that it exists.

Thank you. This is one of the first poems I've ever written...in truth, I always disliked poetry so much that I never bothered attempting it before the creative writing class I'm taking, but I'm finding it can be quite fun.
