So recently I've been questioning whether I was bisexual or pansexual. I've always identified bisexual before, but I didn't know the difference between the two. So I'm just attracted to whoever I'm attracted to regardless of gender. I don't limit myself to only guys and girls. I do realize that only I can decide whether I'm bi or pan, but does it sound like I'm pansexual? Also, does having a preference towards one gender make me not able to be pan?
To me that sounds like pansexual with a preference for one gender. Having a preference does not exclude you from identifying as pansexual, it works the same as bisexual but with more than two genders.
The only difference between Pansexual and Bisexual is this;- Bisexual - Two or more genders. (May include non-binary) Pansexual - All genders. (Definitely includes non-binary) Pansexual is pretty much a more specific version of Bisexual, you are free to use whichever you want
^what the ladies said. I might add my own experience, I used to id as bi too, then I was like, wait a sec, I like trans guys and girls and tomboys and everyone else who aren't binary too! well Pantastic pixie it is! cheers <3
This may be my "biological male" side talking, but it's just sexuality, right? So if we're just talking about physical attraction, we don't know a person's internal gender before getting curious about them in the first place. Personally, I find myself attracted to a lot of people with androgynous-looking sexuality, and there's a bit of variation. If we look at sexuality as a spectrum, maybe some people like both ends but not the middle. I like the middle, with a sort-of broad sweep.
Thanks everyone I'll probably be thinking about identifying as pansexual because it seems I might be.
