All I know is that I love anyone (with a preference for women) regardless of gender. I would say gender does matter to me since I prefer women, but I would love anyone regardless, and would gladly date women, men, and everyone in-between. not only this, but if my love transitioned, I would still love them.
I know bisexual means attracted to both genders, not sure about the others. Try Wikipedia.
Functionally they’re all interchangeable, especially bi/pan. The biggest difference between the three is their flags.
I like men, women, non-binary peeps, and both directions of trans folk, but I say bisexual because to me it’s all inclusive. Also the best flag.
Respectfully disagree. That pan flag is just so fucking flashy.
Plus you get to be one of the letters in the acronym! Lots of people disagree on which letters to use, but everyone puts a b for bisexual in there.
I do love our flag
Pansexuals are simply omnisexuals who don’t understand that it is wrong to use Greek prefixes with Latin root words. /hj
Go with what sounds cooler to you. As they are really no different, and each person could give you a definition of the slight differences they believe they have.
I go with bi, because it sounds cooler to me and because it was the term most used when I was younger so I grew into it, but that’s it.
I go with bi because I prefer the flag and more people know that
Does it matter?
When I was a teenager, I used to think I was straight. Now in my 30s, I know I only like men. I’ve been with the same partner for 10 years. At some point I guess I stopped being attracted to women or wanting to pursue a romantic relationship with them. It didn’t happen overnight.
Meeting the right person changed something for me. I wouldn’t get too hung up on labels. Date whoever you want.
iirc bisexual means “attracted to 2 or more genders” and pan can be attracted to anyone regardless of gender (“gender blind)”. idk what omni is
I think pan is regardless of gender. Bi is your own and any other gender that is different from your own (essentially what you said), and omni is all the genders (but because of the gender they are, not regardless.)
its all semantics honestly, but I don’t think many people who identify as any of these would be actually strictly adherent. Sexuality is a spectrum after all.

Everyone I’ve ever met, has their own personal definitions for the distinctions between these terms. As far as I’m concerned, that makes them all somewhat interchangeable.
Sexuality is a spectrum. Where you fit on that spectrum is as unique as you are, as a person. So, go ahead and choose whatever label you prefer, to describe your position on it. Hell…go ahead and make up your own word for yourself, if that feels like the best way to describe yourself. There are no wrong answers.
How are we supposed to know? Shouldn’t you be telling us?
