So I would highly recommend you do some research into this and not just take my word as gospel, because there are a lot of different opinions within the queer/polysexual community about this, and I am just one person, but here’s how I try to explain it:
Bisexual people are attracted to people of the same and other genders. Exactly which genders are included in this attraction is going to vary based on the person.
Pansexual people are attracted to people regardless of gender. Meaning that gender doesn’t factor into attraction at all.
So, for me, gender has nothing to do with whether or not I’m attracted to someone. It’s like hair color. I see it, I recognize it, but I’m not going to avoid romantic/sexual interest in someone just because they’re blonde, you know?
