Pansexuality

I feel as if Pansexuality should be listed as a sexual orientation rather than under related terms -- many pansexuals view their identity as its' own distinct orientation and numerous LGBT groups list it as such. NekomancerJaidyn (talk) 22:24, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's about the difference between sexual identity and sexual orientation. Non-academic sources sometimes conflate the terms, as people may in common speech, but they are not the same. As the pansexuality article makes clear, many sources consider it to be under the bisexual umbrella. Crossroads ^-talk- 00:32, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fictosexuality and Nijikon

I have reverted edits that add Fictosexuality and Nijikon to the template.(diff) This is clearly overgranular, and Nijikon is not widely accepted as a sexual orientation, but I would also like to question whether Fictosexuality is even a genuine subject at all. If anybody wants to take a look and see what they think, please do. --DanielRigal (talk) 13:18, 4 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In the Research section, can someone add Transgender sexuality? Or another appropriate section. It would be useful to be together with Human male sexuality and Human female sexuality but I guess they would be alphabetically separated, though not that bad.

Done Although I have concerns someone may object to this change. ABG (Talk/Report any mistakes here) 02:29, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
