It’s a gigantic pain-in-the ass trying to save, enlighten, and/or reform the world. There’s a reason why heroes (Jesus, Mohammed, et. al.)* throw their hands up to the sky and cry, “Why me?”

Keep up the good fight. As you can see from the other comments, you’re not alone.

*Forget the religious aspect, just go with the “story” part, okay? Okay.

My boyfriend identifies as pansexual, but usually just says “bi” because it’s easier to explain to other people.

Also, there’s a great (ie, awful) moment on one season of “The Millionaire Matchmaker” when Patti’s head just about explodes after a woman during one of her “calls” for women for her clients to date described herself as “pan”. You could literaly see the smoke coming out of Patti’s ears.

I don’t think a place exists where we don’t have to define our identities.

This, exactly this. It becomes frustrating, indeed. You know, my fourteen year old daughter has been explaining it to her friends whenever she can? She says its just not fair that a whole bunch of people are left out, her mom included.

I think there is a place in the education system for a staged-as-appropriate-by-age of some of the content of books such as The Ethical Slut, and perhaps some volumes that explain the intricacies of the whole straight/gay/bi/pansexual/etc. and the various kinks-that-really-aren’t.

Be a cold day in hell before I actually expect it to happen though.
