A form of sexuality often confused or intermeshed in definition with bisexualaty (an attraction towards both physical sexes: male and female). Pansexuality is, in truth, a much broader form of sexual orientation, in which the pansexual individual experiences sexual attraction towards members of ALL genders (not to be confused with sexes, which is purely physical--gender has to do with the psychological), including transgender, transsexual, cross dressing, androgyne, androgen, two-spirited, gender-fliud, and all other variety of gender identitfications, as well as those who do not feel that they have a gender.
1. Gordon's pansexuallity is manifested in that his girlfriend is a transgender woman.
2. Becca's pansexuality is manifested in that her significant other is two-spirited.
3. Brian loves his significant other regardless of gender--which is a good thing, since zie does not HAVE one. Brian's significant other is lucky to have met a pansexual to love.

pansexual, adj.
A person who has the capacity to be sexually and/or romantically attracted to people of all genders.
Just like anyone else, pansexual people do not want to have sex with everyone they meet. They also aren't attracted to pans. Pansexual is not a fetish, nor a term for a "special snowflake".

Though frequently defined as being a sexual orientation that accepts male, female, and anything else, pansexuality doesn't merely transcend typical gender binaries, but also refers to potential for love or attraction.
One knows if he or she is pansexual if one does not entirely regard gender, race, creed, etc.
Pansexuality is attraction on a more spiritual level, one might say, and focuses on who the target of affection is, rather than "what," as do other sexualities.
That being said, pansexuality and physical attraction--or a compulsion toward one sex more than the other--are not mutually exclusive; a pansexual can be attracted to someone physically and can have gender preferences for these attractions, just as those more concerned with physical attributes and/or genders often will additionally regard spiritual or personal attributes of potential lovers.
In summary, pansexuality is love for a person simply for who he or she is, with little to no concern for what he or she is.

Though Henry knew and recognized different genders, he didn't usually regard them in a romantic sense, since he was pansexual.

Basically, your sexual preference is just "Yes."
Doesn't matter the gender or sexuality. You'll take it all.
(Go hard or go home, right? lol)

A sexual attraction to anyone regardless of gender, it differs from bisexuality in that it recognises gender as a spectrum rather than a binary
Jeremy used to say he was bisexual but as his understanding of gender grew increasingly nuanced he started to call himself pansexual

pansexuality is a sexual orientation characterized by the attraction ( romantic or sexual ) to anyone without caring about their gender. this includes people who do not fit into the gender binary of male/female.
