	"Some people embrace '[[pansexual]]' as a term because they worry that the word '[[bisexual]]' implies that there are only two genders, which can be seen as [[Transphobia\|transphobic]] given that many people – like me – experience themselves as between or beyond the [[gender binary]]. However, bisexual people themselves generally don’t define 'bisexual' in this way. Usually they talk about having 'attraction regardless of gender' or 'attraction to more than one gender', and they understand the 'bi' part to mean 'the same gender as me and different genders to me'. So really there is a lot of overlap between bisexuality and pansexuality, with both terms referring to folks who aren’t limited to one gender in terms of their sexual attraction."<ref name="Dueben" />		"Some people embrace '[[pansexual]]' as a term because they worry that the word '[[bisexual]]' implies that there are only two genders, which can be seen as [[Transphobia\|transphobic]] given that many people – like me – experience themselves as between or beyond the [[gender binary]].

	"In a culture which assumes [[heterosexuality]] and [[cisgender]]ness unless a person '[[coming out\|comes out]]' as otherwise, queer friendships can enable queer people to breathe easier and have a sense of just being themselves. Another important thing for mental health is being accurately mirrored by the people around you – particularly the close people. It's important to feel that friends accurately read in your gender, get your relationships and how they work, and see beyond stereotypes of queerness. It's vital that they're not always asking ignorant, intrusive questions, making jokes, or using inaccurate language."<ref name="anon-r29">{{Cite web \|title=I'm The Only Queer Person In My Friendship Group & It's Really Lonely \|author=Anonymous \|work=Refinery29 \|date=12 July 2019 \|access-date=11 May 2020 \|url= https://www.refinery29.com/amp/en-gb/lgbt-loneliness-isolation-causes}}</ref>		"In a culture which assumes [[heterosexuality]] and [[cisgender]]ness unless a person '[[coming out\|comes out]]' as otherwise, queer friendships can enable queer people to breathe easier and have a sense of just being themselves.
