Question?
I was having a conversation with a friend about sexual identities. I've always identified as a gay man as I'm into men including trans men. According to my friend that means I'm pansexual because I date trans men. But I was under the impression pansexual was similar to bisexuality with an attraction regardless gender but included trans men and women. I wouldn't date anyone who identifies as a woman including trans women because I like men. which is why I identify as gay. My friend says that because I date trans men I can't identify as gay which to me sounds crazy because trans men are men therefore I'm gay. Can someone please help us settle this.
