Pansexual vs. Bisexual

[Mooncup]

What is the difference between pansexual and bisexual?

 

[Tinaa]

Bisexual is when somebody is attracted to two different genders, usually men and women.

Pansexuality is when somebody is attracted to people no matter what their gender is. Most pansexual people I’ve known say that they care more about what the person is like than their gender.

What is the difference between pansexual and bisexual?

Bisexuality is when a person is attracted to two or more genders. People who are bisexual are not strictly attracted to men and women but can also be attracted to people who fall under the non-binary umbrella.

Pansexuality is when someone is attracted to people for their personalities with no preference for gender. Meaning that someone who is pan will be attracted to a person because they like their personality not because they are physically attractive.

Bisexuality:

A. You like two genders, because bi=two. Those two genders are men and women.
B. You like two genders, but those two genders can be any two, for example, genderqueers and women, but not men.
C. You like more than one gender. You could like three different non-binary genders and also men and women. You could like all genders, but at least more than one.
D. You like all genders: men, women, non-binary people, etc.

Pansexuality:

A. You like all genders: men, women, non-binary people, etc.
B. Gender doesn't factor into your sexuality. (I.e. you're attracted to people with certain qualities, and you could be attracted to anyone with them regardless of their gender.)
