I agree. Orientation isn't about your situation at the current moment, it's about who you are. You'll be pansexual whether you're dating someone of the same sex or not.

I just say queer? I don't tend to be attracted to cisgendered men, but I have had some terrible crushes on transguys, so I don't really think I can call myself a lesbian.

I feel about 2/3 lesbian at any time. I definitely prefer female-identified indifiduals, (I've had feelings for multiple people on the trans* spectrum, as well as for cisgirls, and cisguys.) But there is a part of me that melts at alan Rickman's voice.

I'm a lesbian, but I've been with partners that consider themselves straight or bi. Whatever it is I feel just about anyone can love any other person irregardless as to their actual sex. As long as they are open to that of course... doesn't matter how they identify.

I don't qualify as pansexual or bisexual; instead, I guess I identify myself as heteroflexible. Most days, I'm super attracted to men and pretty women, and other days, I don't mind the presence of women only.

I'm genderqueer and pansexual, in a relationship with one woman and one bigender femme. We all identify as queer in some way. I don't consider myself a lesbian, even when I am with women, though I do sometimes use the term dyke to describe myself. I feel like dyke is a bit less gender-specific, somehow.

Queer works best for me. I'm attracted to female bodied people but I identify as genderqueer so lesbian doesn't totally fit. Sometimes I tell people I'm a lesbian because its easier than breaking down the gender binary for them...

I don't identify with female as a gender so I don't consider myself a lesbian.

I guess the term works, but if I'm going to be quite honest, I call myself "feme-sexual". I like ladies, or people who identify as ladies, or people who identify as genderfluid or agender but lean toward the lady side of the spectrum. LADIES.

I'm bi and in a relationship with a man and I have the problem of people thinking I'm straight. so I in away feel what your saying. I hate having to remind my mom that I'm bi. Just because I'm with a guy doesn't make me straight.

Totally lesbian. sometimes homoflexible, but I think mostly only for bio-males that have that lesbian feel to them.

Non-monosexual erasure annoys the hell out of me. I have friends who still call me a lesbian because I dated another girl for around a year, even though they know I was sleeping with a guy all summer. I don't understand how bi/pan/polysexuality is that difficult to conceptualize.

I'm in the exact same situation as you, and I just don't feel right calling myself a Lesbian. I usually simply say that I'm queer, and that I date /people/.

I'm the opposite; I'm dating a man but primarily consider myself lesbian. I usually call myself queer or something so as to avoid the "but you're dating a man" thing.

I prefer the umbrella term "queer", I'm open to being attracted to or entering a relationship with someone who falls anywhere on the gender spectrum
