with that person, so if we're going to work out how to popularize new terminology not tied to the gender binary, it seems a much better use

of everyone's time to come up with some really good gender-non-specific terms to use over "boyfriend" "girlfriend" "husband" and "wife."

I mean, there's a few, but "romantic partner" sounds clinical "lover" has some extra specific baggage, and "spouse" sounds like a parasite.

There's a lot of room to improve here, and I'd much rather work on trying to make "lovefriend" happen than entertain bi vs. pan folks.

I don't really think your original definition of "pansexual" was adhered to seriously by anyone

Yeah, it's one of those terms that, prior to current discourse, I've heard used so rarely it's safe to assume it was being used wrong.

Well a lot of these terms were "made up" in the sense that people threw out different prefixes and were just like "what would this mean"

And then got picked up for an actual use by someone who needed a word for a thing

So it's possible someone threw out "pansexual" as a joking "someone who'll screw anything that moves" thing

I've been told "demisexual" was first coined by someone as a joke term that didn't make sense
