This term is a sexual orientation. Some individuals who identify as having this sexual orientation
may believe that they are gender-blind, while others are more in-tune to gender variety which
may include appreciating and enjoying
transgender, intersex, and genderqueer individuals as well as the different degrees of masculinities and femininities a person
may possess, whether they are cisgender (non-transgender) or transgender. Someone who has this sexual orientation has the potential to be attracted to, date, and fall in
love with an individual without gender, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation or these varying degrees of femininity and masculinity being a limiting factor. Some individuals take their identity of pansexual further than the romantic and/or sexual attraction that is typically associated with sexual orientation and include race, ethnicity,
religion etc. as demographics that will not prevent them from being attracted to, date or fall in
love with a particular person.
Person A: Oh my gosh, I don't know if that person is
male or
female, but they are so fucking hot!
(
Heterosexual) Person B: Damn, you are so pansexual! I could NEVER be attracted to someone if I didn't KNOW they were of the opposite sex!
