Merge to pansexuality. While the leading sentence of Pangender talks about the difference between the word 'sex' refering to anatomy versus gender identity, the Pansexuality article is clearly talking about gender identity (not someone with all anatomies :) - so they're talking about the same thing.

The second paragraph is self-contradictory:

Pangender is a term for people who feel that they cannot be labeled as female or male in gender. ... The term is meant by the queer community to be one that is inclusive and means "all genders".

The last sentence would imply pangender includes traditional males and females, while the first does not. So make up your mind and add citations. Quarl (talk) 2006-01-10 06:18Z

  • i would disagree gender and sexuality are differant issues. --Prof Jolly 12:36, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
    • I completely agree on the difference between gender and sexuality. What is the difference between pangender and pansexual? Quarl (talk) 2006-01-11 01:23Z
      • Pansexuality is someone who is attracted to neither sex in any preference or more commonly someone who doesn't identify with a sexual attraction to a sex. Pangender is someone who doesn't identify with having a gender themselves. čĥàñľōŕď 01:57, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
        • Exactly. Pansexuality refers to an interpersonal interest of people. A sexual orientation. Classifying someone as pangendered would insinuate that the person's perception of their own gender is that they have no gender, per se. Pangendered people can be the target of pansexual attraction, but aren't necessarily pansexual. They could be autosexual or asexual. Sexual desire and sexual perception are two majorly different things. WNF 2006-01-18 06:09Z


This article is far superior in it's content to Androgyne, and it seems these terms are fairly close to synonomous. Maybe merge them and ditch the ugliness that is rampant on the current androgyne article? 68.233.12.105 07:31, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
