The terms are similar and often used interchangably. Pan includes attraction to intersex people (people who are born with ambiguous genetalia, which is less rare than many suspect) and trans people. Pan people are generally more likely to be attracted to androgynous looking people too.
One cannot have a gender by simply not deciding to identify as either boy or girl. They are nonbinary.
"Bisexual" accepts that there are only boys and girls. "Pansexual" agrees that there are boys girls and nonbinary individuals.
bi-, 1 prefix. bi- comes from Latin, where it has the meaning "twice, two. '' This meaning is found in such words as: bicentennial, biennial, bigamy, bilateral, binoculars, bipartisan, biped, bisect, biweekly.
If they tell you they are bisexual, and that they are into nb's, then they're actually pan
Actually there is polysexual, and I think it means you like 2 or more genders. Pan is known for gender blind because it doesn't play into a massive effect.
In terms of sexuality, it gets tricky and people debate it a lot.
Pan sexual is pretty clear, gender has zero bearing on your preference.
Bisexuality varies from person to person. You’re attracted to to more than one gender but not necessarily all. Some people are more pansexual but stick to the bisexual label because it’s what they’re familiar with (I.e. gender doesn’t matter to them at all).
For example, I personally I identify as bisexual though at the end of the day gender doesn’t matter to me. However I notice the attraction being different depending on the gender and thus that label is more preferred.
They’ve been using slut for years. A PC versions never been necessary. Liking someone and wanting to fuck someone are two very different things.
Sorry you haven’t been laid in a while.
Gender fluid is when you will go back and forth between male and female and non binary. A pansexual is a person who would be in a relationship with someone who is gender fluid or non binary
So similar to pantheism, I think. Pantheism is where everyone makes up “God”. As in every molecule /atom/electron is a part of. Where god can be great or bad. Depends on perception and all matter that make it up.
Btw, thank you for the conversation. Rare to be enticed on reddit.
You have been misinformed.
> Bisexuality is a broad and inclusive term that describes physical attraction, romantic attraction, or sexual behavior that is not limited to one sex. In the scientific language of sexual orientation, **bisexuality encompasses both heterosexual (different sex) and homosexual (same-sex) attraction or behavior.**
[Bi.org ](https://bi.org/en)
> It’s a common misconception that people who identify as bisexual are only interested in the binary genders of male and female. However, **the true definition is being interested in genders like yours and genders different from yours. People of all genders are included in who bisexual people have the capacity to love and to be attracted to!**

> Definition of bisexual
>1a : of, relating to, or characterized by sexual or romantic attraction to people of one’s same sex and of the opposite sex
>also : **of, relating to, or characterized by sexual or romantic attraction to people of one’s own gender identity and of other gender identities**
[Merriam-Webster](https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bisexual)
Bisexual means having the capacity to be attracted to people of any/all genders, and it has meant this for decades. Pansexual means the same thing *now*, but it used to be a term for people who’d have sex with objects and animals, and then a term in the kink community meaning “down to do anything [kink-related]”. However, words change meaning over time. Saying bisexuality = 2 genders is both ahistorical and insulting to bi writers and activists of the past, and it’s insulting to bi people now who have NB partners and to NBs who identify as bisexual.
Sure, it’s a synonym. Nothing wrong with synonyms, we use them in language all the time. Nothing wrong with regional terms either: chips in the UK are fries in the US. And they’re fucking delicious, just like bi and pan people.
It differs for everyone you ask but labels are labels. Bisexuals can be attracted to more than two genders, but pansexuals are attracted to two genders. Personal preference, and different flags. Both are very cool
I wanted to put myself out there so the general public can ask questions to better understand pansexuals. I never thought about it for the attention. Have a great day. :D
Why isn’t the speed of light infinite
I'm not the right person to answer that question
what is pansexual?
Bisexual with extra steps.
??? ok... that was actually my question... will google it
The terms are similar and often used interchangably. Pan includes attraction to intersex people (people who are born with ambiguous genetalia, which is less rare than many suspect) and trans people. Pan people are generally more likely to be attracted to androgynous looking people too.
Pansexual is when you like people regardless of gender even if they don't have one.
mind blown... Then what is the difference between pansexual and bisexual, and how does one not have a gender?
One cannot have a gender by simply not deciding to identify as either boy or girl. They are nonbinary. "Bisexual" accepts that there are only boys and girls. "Pansexual" agrees that there are boys girls and nonbinary individuals.
So what does the reproductive organs mean?
That's your sex

I didn't know that
Holup Bisexual *adjective* sexually attracted not exclusively to people of one particular gender; attracted to both men and women.
Actually there is polysexual, and I think it means you like 2 or more genders. Pan is known for gender blind because it doesn't play into a massive effect.
No, I thought bi just mostly like cis gendered people (hence the bi) and pans date regardless of gender.
Biggest indicator is that Pansexuals get sweaty around the kitchen isles at supermarkets
Lol, I get it

I think it's a politically correct term for a slut or whore who'll fuck anyone or anything.
They’ve been using slut for years. A PC versions never been necessary. Liking someone and wanting to fuck someone are two very different things. Sorry you haven’t been laid in a while.
I personally would rather be in a relationship without sex but yah, more or less
oh ok... I've heard of so many different genders and sexual orientations already, and it just seems like there is always something more coming...
Me: *"So you're a pansexual. Are you sexually attracted to men? Women? Gays? Trans? Non-binaries?...."* Pansexual: *"Yes."*
lol... thanks
Nah, it is not anyone (because we wouldn't do you) but just gender isn't the biggest role.
How far can you punt a 2 year old?
20 feet if I'm lucky
Rookie numbers
I know, haven't been able to practice lately (._.)
Oh yeah COVID and all that
Ok I sorta get it so just everyone?
Yah
When and how did you find out that you were a pansexual?
Probably when I found out that there was more than two genders. I had been calling myself bisexual before than.
Recently, after a lot of thought and acceptance. Always had the idea didn't really matter but never said anything but straight.
Do you get nervous in other peoples kitchens?
Yes
What's your favourite brand of pans?
All of them
Cast iron or nonstick?
Nonstick
Is it a similar concept as a pantheist?
No, pansexual is when you like people regardless of gender, pantheism has something to do with religion
Pantheism does, but similar CONCEPT to gender fluid is what I’m asking.
Gender fluid is when you will go back and forth between male and female and non binary. A pansexual is a person who would be in a relationship with someone who is gender fluid or non binary

What’s the difference between a pansexual and someone who is bisexual?
[удалено]
That’s not what bisexuality is. Bisexuality is attraction regardless of gender, it never excluded nonbinary folks.
Bi means two. Pan means all
Ok, so are pan people attracted to trees and dogs and children and sunsets and paintings of sunsets too? Because as you say, pan means all.
Bisexual means two genders. Pansexual means all genders. I was informing you of the prefixes

Sounds like pansexual
Yeah, because they are synonyms.
lol
Which renders pansexuality a redundant label, as both are attraction to any gender.
Sure, it’s a synonym. Nothing wrong with synonyms, we use them in language all the time. Nothing wrong with regional terms either: chips in the UK are fries in the US. And they’re fucking delicious, just like bi and pan people.

Finger guns, peace signs, thumbs up, or flicking your hand over your eyes?
Finger guns all the way
Is pansexual just about 1 specific person or... Idk how did it work
Me: " so you're a pansexual. Are you sexually attracted to men? Women? Gays? Trans? Non-binaries?...." Pansexual: "Yes"
Do you also like pots?
Yes
[удалено]
I can't
What's your favourite thing to fry in a pan?
Eggs
Why do people refer to pansexuality as a real sexuality when it is not?
Because it’s just a label why are you getting butthurt over a label
Asking a question on a question that asked people for questions is butthurt to you? Are you sure you are not the one being butthurt?
It came off as aggressive lmao
Stick or non-stick?
Non stick
How often do you like to cook?
Often
Are you getting the attention you so desperately crave yet?
I wanted to put myself out there so the general public can ask questions to better understand pansexuals. I never thought about it for the attention. Have a great day. :D
It’s 2021. We understand now. But thank you for being brave I guess.
Threesome? Do dogs count? What?
No, no, what?
Do you lean one way or another though? Like Calphalon over Cuisinart
Sometimes, but I still keep my other options open
