    (Strange, I don't think I've even ever posted in this board. Guess I've been focused on gender stuff.)
    Anyway I've wanted to get some stuff right about my sexuality. So I know that pansexual is feeling an attraction to all genders, but I've heard some people say that it's ability to be attracted to someone regardless of gender. So I'm not rally sure what the definition of it means for myself.
    I know that I'm at least bi, because I definitely feel an attraction to both sexes. However, I've found out a bit recently that I can be attracted to androgynous or agendered people. So I don't know if that makes me pans, because from the whole "regardless of gender" thing, I feel like it what be more inclusive, like it doesn't matter if you're male or female or intersex or agender or fluid or whatever... and I don't feel like that. Is this some other weird thing? Like, I dunno, trisexual, if that's even a thing?

    You can still identify as bisexual and be attracted to more than just men and women. The definition of bisexuality accepted by the bisexual community is "attraction to genders similar to and different from your own." So attraction to men, women, and agender people still falls under this.

    If you are uncomfortable with bisexuality for whatever reason, you may also consider polysexuality. I'm not particularly familiar with it, but from my understanding it means "attraction to two or more genders."
