Being pansexual doesn't excuse using slurs. A slur is a slur. I'm also a part of these spaces (I've identified as pan for 10+ years and am under the trans flag) and do not agree with your stance of it as a term of endearment or "taking the word back from bigots". This is just an excuse for poor behavior. You didn't even say this to a lgbt person either so i'm not sure why you're including this in your reasoning, as that is quite literally just spreading hate. I understand both you and the person you send these DMs to both say the slur to each other but that does not make it OK.

Your spaces might allow it but mine sure don't. Personally I wouldn't want to be a part of that kind of space if that's what's encouraged there. And I certainly don't want to see that in the space of the staff team.

You do not speak for all pansexual people, nor do you speak for all queer people. You can disagree with my usage of the word but I am not using it in a space you are in. I am using it in spaces where it was acceptable language 


If you're gonna say that you wouldn't want to be apart of that space or deny someone staff for using that word in spaces where it was acceptable, then be consistent lol.
