    Yea, pan here, too. That’s how I always understood it. Gets a bit more nuanced though, when you include omnisexuality.

      Omnisexuality??? Ok, I accept that as Gen X I’m old. I grew up stating I was Bi because that’s the term we had at the time. Now I still say Bi, but clarify “or really Pan as the kids call it nowadays because I believe all the toys in toy box are fun to play with and I value the person (and personality) over plumbing”. Now what is Omni?

        Generally, it’s described as:

        Bi: attraction to more than one gender
        Pan: attraction regardless of gender
        Omni: attraction to all genders

        The difference between pan and omni is small and they’re often used synonymously. Most people I know, that fall into this category, identify as either bi or pan. Omni is exceedingly rare but it’s also not that new. I remember it already being an established thing when I first read about it almost a decade ago.

        Edit: formatting

            Depends on the band. There are words for only attracted to fem guys and women, or masc women and men, but i forget them. Im sure someones made a word for other bands too

              Androsexuality and gynosexuality. Honestly I would like those even if I wasn’t bi, much clearer than heterosexual/homosexual. Also they work better with nonbinary people

            I cannot answer you that but there are certainly labels that describe specific cases of that.
