Con Pan- : from a Greek term meaning "all" or "every" Bi- : also from a Greek term, meaning "two" Argument: "Bisexuality implies a potential for romantic/sexual attraction to either both genders (man and woman) or both sexes (male and female). The literal definition of the word does not include inter-sex or gender nonconforming people the way that pan-sexuality does." "Bisexual is being sexually attracted to both genders, male and female, while pan-sexual is being capable of having romantic feelings and attraction to males, females, and third gendered individuals." "Bisexual identity more so establishes attraction to both genders, whereas pan-sexual identity more so recognizes the existence of other genders (third genders) and the capacity to be sexually attracted to individuals identifying as these various genders." "The bisexual and pan-sexual communities have their own flags, colors, and ideologies. Pan sexual identity is more accommodating for individuals who engage in relationships with people of varying genders and sexualities." Back-up: My quotes have clearly stated that bisexuality is not the same as pan-sexuality. As bisexuality is only the attraction of boys and girls, ad pan-sexuality is the attraction to all genders and identities. Resources: http://www.differencebetween.net... http://curiousrantsofawannabephilosopher.wordpress.com... Pro The problem with that? That specific woman is transgendered, she was born a man. I considered myself a heterosexual cisgendered man, but if I saw a woman like that at party, I'd hit on her most likely, but if I found out she was transgendered I'd run into a real dilemma, eh? Same thing can be applied for a lot of stuff, transvestites, intersex, hermaphodites, and more can be VERY Attractive and convincing, and there's at least one model of the above mentioned "other" genders I'm SURE A Bisexual, Straight or Gay Person would be attracted to, so in the end there really is no single sexuality, all just varying degrees of pansexuality. |

Reasons for voting decision: Pro made a point that all sexualities were true, and while it wasn't aptly addressed by Con, it was a rather weak argument for a weak position. Con used more sources, and Pro's source didn't work for me.
Also, on the "fact" thing, a "fact" isn't something that is true, it's something that can be proven or disproven, versus an opinion, which can't either way. For example, "The Sky is Yellow" isn't an opinion, it's a fact because you can look outside and see the blue.
Note: Saying "I am against the fact that..." doesn't really help (but hurts) you. Word choice is very important. Saying something like "I'm against the preconceived notion that...." instead of a calling it a fact then trying to argue against it, is not helpful for yourself! But I do agree, pansexuality is not the same thing as bisexuality. (:
