Pansexual people are people attracted to people without considering their gender. The word pansexual comes from the Greek word ‘pan-‘, meaning “all”.

Pansexuality is different from bisexuality. Bisexual people are attracted to both men and women, but pansexual people are attracted to any people. This includes people who are neither male nor female.

Um, I identify as bisexual. And I am attracted to people whether they are the same gender as I am, or are of a different gender. See here:

It would be really nice if people, especially those who do not identify as bisexual, would stop defining my own identity for me, thanks. Because it’s a pretty douchey thing to do. Especially when it is accompanied by sanctimonious assertions that are based on assumptions. 

I call myself a pansexual because I’m more comfortable with the definition.  I don’t see why, if I want to make a distinction, anyone should stop me doing it.  If anything I consider it sort of a clarification of my bisexuality.  So really I’m both, and I probably could make the assertion that I’m both.  But I’m most attracted to people of ambiguous gender and sexuality, and I think calling myself pansexual reflects that better than calling myself bi.

Either way I have to clarify.  If I tell someone I’m pansexual and they don’t know what it means, I explain it.  If I tell someone I’m bisexual I have to clarify that I’m more attracted to fluid/non-existent/different genders because I’m not that into burly guys or girly girls.

I mean personally I don’t see why pansexuality can’t just be a clarifier for bisexuality.  So I don’t 100% agree with this graphic, because someone’s sexuality or gender doesn’t always fall into a yes or no definition.  I mean shit, I’m 36 years old and I’m still figuring my self out.  For the moment, I am comfortable—very comfortable—with calling myself pan.
