A form of sexuality often confused or intermeshed in definition with bisexualaty (an attraction towards both physical sexes: male and female). Pansexuality is, in truth, a much broader form of sexual orientation, in which the pansexual individual experiences sexual attraction towards members of ALL genders (not to be confused with sexes, which is purely physical--gender has to do with the psychological), including transgender, transsexual, cross dressing, androgyne, androgen, two-spirited, gender-fluid, and all other variety of gender identifications, as well as those who do not feel that they have a gender.

Okay so that's the definition technically and I spent like 2 hours looking it up. I've never felt like I belonged within my social circles even as a child, I always felt different. I never shared their ideals about beauty, never had the typical 5th grade crush on a boy...

To me everything was bigger.

Ok so, a little about my younger self, I was a tomboy through and through. My idol for a long time was Lara Croft because...let's face it, It's Lara. And it took me a long while to come to terms with who I am.

I live in a country where LGBTQ+ is illegal. Even though it's not as bad as the countries around me but it's still pretty bad. My family and friends openly declared their disgust for people like me and internally I died a little more with each day. Once I had finally just accepted that I wasn't like everyone else, that I was different but that was never a bad thing when I was 15, life became easier for me. I stopped looking over my shoulder thinking "what if they found out?"

Even before I had come to terms with myself I had an undying support for LGBT that I voiced out proudly. I Was never scared of the backlash if I was pro-LGBT because it was something I believed in wholeheartedly but I was desperate to fit in, to not be rejected.

I have yet to come out to my own parents but I am out to my close friends and family and that's enough for me. I have a beautiful girlfriend (who also happens to be on wattpad) and amazing friends that support me and that's all I could ever ask for.

I'vebeen a follower of the LGBTQ+ profile for a while now and I can honestly saythat I'm glad we have a platform in place to offer advice, support and somekickass reading lists ;)
