Being bisexual means being attracted to two or more genders, but a bisexual person CAN have a
preference over
gender.
A common misconception is that bisexual people are
transphobic and exclude transgender people or non-binary people out of their sexuality, but this is actually not true at all! Transgender is not a third gender, neither is non-binary. Trans men are men & trans women are women so bisexual people are attracted to trans people too!
Bisexual also includes non-binary people.
Being pansexual is actually very similar to being bisexual but they are NOT the same thing!
Being pansexual means that you are attracted to two or more genders, with NO
preference over gender.
A common misconception is that pansexuality is bi-phobic or
transphobic, when in reality it is neither of those things. Some people think that pansexual people believe that being transgender is a third gender, or that pansexual people only exist because they think that being bisexual inherently discriminates against transgender people and non-binary people. But this is not true! Both sexualities include trans AND non-binary people.
The only difference between being pansexual and being bisexual is that bisexual people can have a
preference over gender, (example: sexuality ratio is 70% women, 10% men, 20% non-binary or anywhere in between) and pansexual people have zero preference over gender, and have no sexuality ratio!
