Pansexuality is a sexual orientation characterized by the potential for attraction to people of any gender identity or biological sex.
Pansexual individuals are attracted to others regardless of their gender identity, including those who identify as male, female, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer, or any other gender identity.
The prefix “pan-” in pansexuality comes from the Greek word “pan,” meaning “all” or “every.”
Pansexuality is often described as being gender-blind or gender-neutral because it recognizes that attraction can exist beyond the binary understanding of gender (male and female).
Pansexual people can form romantic, emotional, and sexual connections with individuals across the gender spectrum.
It’s important to note that pansexuality is distinct from bisexuality.
While bisexuality refers to attraction to two or more genders, pansexuality encompasses all genders without limitations or restrictions.
It’s worth mentioning that sexual orientation is a deeply personal aspect of an individual’s identity, and everyone’s experience and understanding of their own sexuality may vary.
